ESPN NBA MOCK DRAFT 9.0 (includes Second Round)

[Fishsticks]

47. Utah Jazz

Robbie Hummel | SF | Purdue

Hummel is a Jazz player all the way. He is tough, has a terrific basketball IQ and can really shoot the basketball. The Jazz could use some help at the 3, and Hummel should be able to provide some immediate relief.

Ummmmmmm...exactly why is he a Jazz player all the way? National media guys are obsessed with believing Utah is obsessed with white guys.

Thanks for sharing. I would rather draft a Euro and hope that he turns out rather than drafting Hummel. No interest in him at all.

Because it's true.

If we don't move into the 1st or trade for a point, I want Machado or Crowder. Why is the latter not in the latest DX mock though?

 

[Fishsticks]

Here we go..explain yourself.

Espn has Crowder right behind our pick, but they have Machado shooting up the boards to 32.

I wouldn't mind Hummel. If he is fully healed from his knee injuries he could be a good player.

Hummel healthy, yes. Never will be, so no.

Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Sounds like what a lot of people said about Blair.

and Oden.

 

[orangello]

Sounds like what a lot of people said about Blair.

The difference is that Blair was considered lottery talent that draft but his knees scared everyone. Hummel at one point was considered a good college player but I don't think that anyone thought he would be a lottery caliber player.

and Oden.

Eat that Cy!

and Oden.

1st overall pick vs. mid-second round picks.

Mock 9.0 also has lots of draft rumors like Wolves using Derrick Williams as bait to move up in draft … https://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2012/story/_/id/8092454/nba-mock-draft-version-9 (insider)

Verlin, can you fill us in?

 

[Dr. Jones]

1st overall pick vs. mid-second round picks.

I'm only talking injuries .. not where the pick lands .. only stating my opinion that Hummel will never play a 60 game season.

 

[Beantown]

I want Kris Joseph or Kim English.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I want Kris Joseph or Kim English.

I'm sure you do.

 

[Beantown]

I'm sure you do.

That's inappropriate behavior.

 

[Dr. Jones]

That's inappropriate behavior.

Agreed. My bad.
