Following potential 2017 draftees...

I won the bracket 50+ kids had organized Sr. year of Hs that season. I had Utah making a run because of Bogut and he came thru..

so it'll always be a heroic run to me. Same for Greg Oden and OSU(didn't win my pool that year tho).

So making it to the sweet 16 is heroic? Lol wut?

Edit: like seriously, picking a team to make the sweet 16, and having them go no further does nothing to influence a bracket pool.

Are you thinking of the Andre Miller/Doleac led team that lost in the championship game to Kentucky?
 
That 2013 draft wasn't even remotely as bad as they said it was.. thats why I like to stick with the mindset of "these players are getting bigger/better/faster/more skilled at a younger age" in mind.. and **** if the kids in American HS's are slacking or sub-par sometimes theres enough International talent to fill the void.

bruh just because it's not a major storyline doesn't mean it isn't a compelling storyline.. He almost had a triple-double IIRC.

He cemented his spot at the top of the draft with that run, first Aussie ever to go #1. Utah didn't have a good team, they had Andrew Bogut.

LOL ok that makes sense. I was thinking 'this dude might have some sort of legendary story and not even fully know the scope of it'..

Carl would be a reach for Utah.. He's redundant with Lyles. The kid I was just posting about Wilson is a better match. Jonathan Motley makes more sense.

Who is this Lyles you speak of?

Lyles is gonna be fine, maybe he wont get it together this year but I expect a big offseason..

People act like the Jazz would be running a 3-man big rotation of just Favors-Rudy-Lyles. with Withey Diaw or JJ playing sparingly if foul trouble/injury occurs. But Lyles being so bad this year has thrown a wrench in the plans.

obviously thats not the case.

If anything Jazzfanz who don't like Lyles should be happy with his play this year because it's opened the door to taking a flier on a different type of big for him to platoon with.. (possibly one thats too raw to play, or possibly one thats ready to handle about 12-17minutes per game such as Jonathan Motley).

They have sooooo many players that should declare for the draft with the new rules.. will be interesting to see what happens.

I think he just said "we'll have the whole team back" in his post-game interview.. we'll see.

Adel could have done more? He played above his average. The game was lost because their interior defense played under their usual level and they got nothing out of their 2nd leading scorer.

I was expecting more because of how hyped he is on here. If that was above his average I want no part of him.

Testing the waters will be good for him. If he can get a promise somewhere that he likes, he should take it, even if he's not ready.

I'd imagine the Mavs would love to have him around for a little bit of training from Dirk for a season + (Pretty sure Dirk will be with the Mavs in some capacity after he retires)
