Following potential 2013 draftees

If we end up with the 17 th and 21st picks. That puts us in Bongo range, and the others are taken. In this senario I see no way the jazz don't draft him as they need a pg. To me he is intriguing as he might have the most pure pg talent. What scares me is that since he has been with Texas they haven't been very good at all.

For those who are the collage guru's..... Is that his fault, or is there just no talent on Texas? What I'm getting at is Marshall, a pure pg raised the level of play for NC to elite level, where as Texas with Bongo didn't seem to do much at all.

For the record I'd still rather get Wolters or Canaan in the second if possible. With that said if we miss the playoffs, I would jump at the chance to pick CJ then hope the Greek Freak lands at the GS pick, then still draft Wolters or Canaan.

Texas ddint have much talent at all this year and not many players who can put the ball in the basket..

Unfair to compare him to Marshall..Kendall had tons more talent around him then Kabongo

Oladipo has turned into my biggest (semi-realistic) draft-day crush. We ****ing NEED an all-out high-motor stopper on the perimeter. His lane-burning ability is also crush worthy.

I really like him a lot as well.
Maybe we win the lottery (like 2 years ago with kanter) and are able to get him.
 
David Thorpe on his TrueHoop TV segment is calling Burke the #1 PG in the draft and thinks he's on par or even a small step above Lillard.

Just putting that out there.

I would be scared to take Giannis with either Jazz first round pick.
He just so young and raw.
Greece has had some players drafted last few years.
Seems like all of them have been duds.
And African players have not done well either last few years.
Unless they are a top five type player I would stay away from international players in the mid first round.
Stick with American college players.
But I could be entirely wrong.:rolleyes:

sound argument. I am still hoping for McCollum, dieng and wolters
 
I don't think David Thorpe is a hack. He trained Fesenko one summer, and said he would either be great or out of the league depending on how hard he worked.
 
FYI - Jamal Franklin is entering the draft.

Is he worth a look?

Jamaal Franklin, SG, Jr., San Diego State
Franklin does it all -- he was the only D-I player to lead his team in scoring (17 points per game), rebounding (9.5 rpg), assists (3 apt) and steals (1.6 spg). He is one of the best athletes in the draft and the best rebounding guard in the nation this season. He uses strength, length, explosive leaping ability and a terrific motor to get things done all over the floor. While his jump shot is still a major work in progress, Franklin's toughness and do-it-all attitude made him one of the best wings in the country. Look for him to be a late lottery to mid first-round pick.
