Following 2016 potential draftees

Not sure why you don't like Murray. You didn't like Burke because he was small and unathletic. That is something you can't teach, so made sense. Murray has elite length and good athleticism at PG, and the the things he struggles with can be taught through repetition. So yeah, he has bust potential if he can't shoot, but according to Perrin he is farther along in that department than we think.

All fair points. If the Jazz draft him then I hope I'm wrong.

I just don't seem to like him at all.

For one thing Wroten shot 16% from 3 and 58% from the FT line. Murray isn't a great shooter, but Wroten was as bad as they come.

Arguments like this aren't useful. I could say "what's the difference between Korkmaz and Caspi?" as easily as "what's the difference between Korkmaz and Klay?"

Comparisons like this are just oversimplification.

One thing regarding Dejounte that hasn't been brought up is that his measurements aren't even up to date. He was measured at 6'5 with a 6'10 wingspan in 2014; I'd say it's more than likely that he's grown since then.

Nice
 
The game is much, much different than it used to be. There is an enormous premium put on shooting and defending. Two things Dejonte is terrible at this moment.

He has all the tools to defend though. Perrin said he thinks Dante and Dejounte could shut down opposing back courts.

If Dejounte doesn't have defensive potential, then who the hell does?

They didn't measure his max vert?

Bust potential.

If Jakob or someone else doesn't fall we are better off trading the pick.

I think Korkmaz will be close to a lights-out shooter, both on spot-ups and off the bounce. At 6'8" with a high release, he'll get his shot off. I think that's worth drafting. Look at the contract Evan Fournier is going to get this summer.

You can have the longest arms in the world but..

He also doesn't appear to be laterally quick. Lack of lateral quickness is a killer in the NBA.

I wouldn't say Dejounte is terrible at D. He has some awesome tools and he moved his feet well in the game I watched. His length helps him get in the passing lanes and he deflects a ton of balls, similarly to Dante his length also helps him recover in situations where he's beat... That's not to say he doesn't have work to do on D - sometimes he gets beat because he seems distracted/misreads situations, but I think he has all the tools.

The main issue I have with him is that he seems to get tunnel vision on offense and gets out of control. I am not sure he will ever be able to run a team as a primary ball-handler.
