Following potential 2015 draftees

I've come around to conceding Porzingis' potential. Dunno why I was so resistant. I mean, Turner's a similar project that I'm all kinds of high on. Again, I think I'm racist. And a xenophobe. shrug.

I don't like either of them very much, but I like Dekker better than Lyles. Would much rather have pretty much anybody else in our range than those two.

Same here. Either of those names announced on draft day for the Jazz will be so underwhelming, though I'll just hope for the best. I wonder if I'm just underselling Lyles too much.

Porzingis has excellent mobility and IQ for a guy that size. If he can just get stronger and become an average rebounder, he'll be the complete package. Plus, he's got broad enough shoulders and thick enough legs that he should be able to put on some good weight.

I don't think he's really a project. He could be ready in a year or so.
 
Can anyone think of any trades we could pull with NYK to get Porzingis? I'm not sure he's even available at #4, but he looks perfect for us.
 
Favors or Hayward. The Knicks would want an established young vet with All Star potential in the Eastern Conf. to pair with Carmello. If you're bringing back Porzi, then sending out Favors makes sense. Maybe the Jazz also get a future pick since Favors is proven.

It's a gutsy move considering how good Favors + Gobert are defensively together. But it gives us more offense, better spacing and probably more potential to play faster.

Exum + Porzingis + Gobert would be dazzling.

We were taking about #5 + Favors last year for Jabari. Crazy how much changed in a little under a year.

Yeah, multiple shots in a row. Im sure he had moments of multiple misses in a row. Didn't show those.

While this is true we do know he shot the ball well in euro ball from 3 and the free throw line. His stoke is fast and efficient, the makes were so clean too and he has great arc... just reminded me of other great shooters.

I was more impressed with how well he moves for his size. I also had a picture in my head of a scrawny frail guy and while he is skinny he didn't look painfully skinny.

I guess if we did Favors for Porzingis then we could go hard after Millsap??

There are others I would rather go after before Paul... just think he's going to be close to max and he's already 30. Not sure father time will be kind to Paul.

I watched the video and started to imagine the trainer stiff that stands in, but doesn't actually play defense, was Enes Kanter. Kristap is going to make Enes look silly.
