Following potential 2013 draftees

Victor Oladipo is another shooting guard the Jazz could grab at #17. At 6-5, 215 lbs, Oladipo is almost ideal size for a shooting guard in the NBA. A lockdown defender which should transfer into the league very well. His jumpshot was shaky last year, but this year he has improved it a lot. Today in a win against #13 Michigan St. he had 21 pts, 7 rebs, 6 stls, 3 blks, and 1 ast. Oladipo finishes in transition very well and is very athletic which helps him finish at the rim and his speed helps him ge easy lay-ups. His 21 points came on 8-12 shooting from the field including 1-2 from the three-point line.

ESPN's Chad Ford has Victor Oladipo ranked #20 on his draft big board with his projection mid first-round.
 
I think tweeners have a place in the nba. They are great in 3 man rotations. The problem is they need to be pared with the correct players. If you have a 3/4 tweener then when they are playing the 3 then you might wnt top air them with a stretch 4. They are just hard to coach and we know how good a coach Corbin is.

Now if the jazz where drafting on pure need this would be my priority.

Pg - biggest need in jazz land.

3 or a 3/4 - Hayward can play the 2 and burks is a 2 who can play some 1 so a true 3 would be nice. 3/4 see next

A true center neither kanter or favors are true centers. A true center in a 3 man rotation would be great.

Sg - some one that is a pure shooter as nether burks or Hayward are pure shooters

Back up big some one to spell minutes behind kanter and favors. This could be a 3/4 or a pure 4 or even another player that can be either a 4/5.

I wouldn't even be against drafting 2 pgs. Increases our chances of one of them working out. This isn't the year to do that however.
 
Willie Cauley-Stein is another interesting player, he is my favorite Kentucky player, a 7'0, 245 lbs center who has a ton of potential. PKM what are you're thoughts on him? Say the Jazz trade Millsap and let Jefferson go during the off-season and parlay #17 and #24 to move up into the Top-10 (where he is projected) to grab Cauley-Stein, after that the Jazz have a nice young 3 big-man rotation of Favors, Kanter, and Cauley-Stein.

I've written pages and pages on all the UK guys. WCS is, imo, the #2 best prospect on the UK team at the moment, next to Noel.

(make sure you look back a page and see what Cal has to say about Archie, btw)

I read it and thank you for all the info. I guess I am a little late to the Kentucky party haha!
 
Doug McDermott at #24 wouldn't be a bad pick-up as a small forward for the Jazz as well, there would be a lot white stereo-types if that happened though.

PKM, any thoughts on Oladipo or McDermott?
 
No uk bandwagon for me this year. They don't have a pg I want. Goodwin according to pkm is shaky, poythress has no heart and Noel won't be there when we draft. I wouldn't mind wcs though, where is he projected and do you think he will come out this year?

McDermott is playing a stretch 4 for his team. I don't see him defending at the next level. I know I am not pkm.

WCS is #10 on nbadraft.net's mock draft right now and don't know if he would stay another year or not, PKM will probably be able to answer that. Jazz might end up with a lottery-pick we will just have to see how this season turns out.

PKM seemed to be the only one responding to my comments, but you are right he might have trouble defending but he is a 3 at the next level and at #24 it wouldn't be that bad of a reach because that is right where he is projected.

I think I would defer this one to pkm as well.
