2015 Annual JazzFanz Current Players Draft

[NAOS]

Welp, we know Siro can't get to the Conference Finals.

 

[Eminence]

You'll be wrong about that.

Perhaps so. I think it'd be cool to see, but really no reason to expect it.

Davis shooting 3's will be interesting. I don't doubt that he can. He definitely has a wet mid-range shot and form that seems like it will be suited to make 3's.

This.

If you know what good form looks like, and what a good shooter looks like, then you know Davis will be good from 3.

It's not that hard of a shot anymore. Davis has the talent to get real good at it too. I don't have any doubt he'll be a good 3 point shooter.

The guys is so good at everything that they are talking about him initiating some offense too.

Who cares that the players voted Harden as the MVP. They probably had his teammates in mind. Does anyone here really think Harden is the best player in the NBA? No, pretty sure not one person does.

That's a stretch... This year he was 1 of 14 from three... Not exactly a marksman. He's solid from midrange, but I don't have faith he can stretch that to 3 that easily.

Though I would love to see it!

I guess by that logic Booker is a stretch 4

I see your point on Harden but personally when the balls in Hardens hands I'm scared ****less and it's almost guaranteed that he's either going to score or get 2 free throws where he's automatic....I don't feel that way about Davis YET

I never said Harden wasn't good at offense. But also, I don't think he's as automatic as you think. Alot of his success comes down to whether or not the refs are gonna call that nonsense where he throws his arms up and under into the defenders arms. If he doesn't have that, then he's not so scary. And in the playoffs this year against the Clippers, the refs weren't giving him that so much. He should have lost to the Clippers. He wasnt that great. Josh Smith saved him.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Davis defnitely has potential to be a better individual offensive player than Harden, but I don't think he has Harden's court vision, passing, and playmaking ability for others.

He was also missing two of his better role players, Motienujas and Beverly, as well as having a very injured Howard.

Harden was still able to put up his regular season numbers in the playoffs without any, or at worst very minimal, drops in efficiency.

I agree with everything you just said but Harden lead the NBA in FT attempts per game at 10.2 which says to me that him getting to the line is automatic. He definitely came up short in the playoffs especially his TOs

He's automatic from the line when he gets there, and is the best at getting there, which is an incredible weapon. But like I said, the refs weren't giving that to him as much as they did in the regular season. Which I quite thoroughly enjoyed, because I hate that. It's not really a foul. Should be a foul on him. He's initiating the contact. And when he wasn't getting that, he was a different player.

 

[NAOS]

I'm taking Davis over Harden. Not a hard decision for me.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

With the 6th pick I take...

Chris Paul

Spycam OTC.

First curve ball of the draft

Your right. He gets 28-30 a game, and when he's not scoring he's creating easy shots for his team getting 6-8 assists per game. As far as the refs go he consistently shoots 9-11 Ty's a game. Refs going to call plenty of fouls for Harden

Davis defnitely has potential to be a better individual offensive player than Harden, but I don't think he has Harden's court vision, passing, and playmaking ability for others.

It's just so understated how much Harden does for his team. Quite astronomical really then consider that the Rockets were without D12 for much of the year and harden had that team of role players as a third or fourth best in the west. Harden might be the second best offensive player in the league

As do I

Couldn't agree more, but it is impressive to me that he's able to keep his dribble so low and pick it up on the drive and still keep the ball low than come up with hitting the defenders arms and force the calls.....very annoying but it impresses me personally cuz that's not easy to do

 

[framer]

And here I am coming late to the thread wondering who the Hell "OTC" is. . . Heh. . .
