I would love it if he were there at 12. If we don't trade the pick we're almost guaranteed either Johnson, Turner or Kaminsky so I'm happy.

I always want the best players possible and then have the coaching staff improve their skills and figure out how to utilize those skill sets together. I think he has All Star level talent, and thus would gladly have him on this team if possible. I'd also hire Chip Engelland and hope to have a Spurs level improvement in team shooting. Between that and filling the bench with shooters, there's always a way to figure out how to make talent work.

New DX mock has the Jazz taking SF/SG: Stanley Johnson at 12, C/PF: Mouhammadou Jaiteh at 42 and then SG: Norman Powell at 54.
Swap out Powell for Connaughton or send 54 plus cash to move up for George De Paula, and that's pretty much my best case scenario for Utah. Just adding Johnson and Jaiteh with out giving up assets would be fantastic.

No. But there were times that he switched to 5's during the season and held up better than expected. I'm not saying that it's his position, just that he can switch to it (when needed) without being totally mismatched and overwhelmed. Ideally, I think he's a 3/4 player who can defend the 2/5 in specific situations. Not many guys have the length or athleticism to do that.

This is in response to how the Warriors have been using Draymond Green at the 5 during their playoff run and playing with 4 wing/guards out of that lineup.
Green, Iguadola, Barnes, Thompson and Curry
I'd say that Giannis, Hayward, Hood, Burks and Exum would matchup fairly well against that lineup. Especially if they used Exum like the Cavs have used Delly to just shadow and harass Curry. It's about the versatility.
Giannis isn't that good. Kind of overrated.

i like the freak but middleton is better then he is now on their team
This is Hinkie, it is very likely that he will go with the highest upside pick and I don't think Porzingis is far from that. If all goes right, he might be the best player from this draft. Now, how likely is that is another question.

How many times does that highly ranked overrated European player turn out to be better than the top American phenoms?

DRuss is the highest upside player in the draft. A 6'5", better passing, almost as good shooting(even as a ceiling, I don't think you can say a guy will become the best shooter ever) Steph Curry.
Not if they've got information that 76ers are looking hard at Porzingis and just reporting what he had heard.
Very limited athletically though.
Porz is huge, skilled, and athletic. He probably has the most potential of anyone outside of KAT.

I think Chad Ford said, with some sort of analytics, that Russell has the highest potential to become a star, but also the highest potential to be a bust.
