Following potential 2013 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Yeah exactly having another floor spacer doesn't hurt.
Though ideally a Schroeder & Karasev combo would be great.
I'm not high on Karasev. I think he may be too one-dimensional to get much time on the floor in real life (not Nike Hoop Summit).

I thought you would never ask.
It depends on who's mock you off and who you think will be there.
This is order of players I would like.
Gobert
Whitey
Archie Goodwin
Shane Larkin
Giannis Adetokunbo
Dennis Schroeder

I wouldn't mind getting Whithey with the first and Larkin with the second. That's going off draft express and who would be there. Whithey is going to be a pretty good player, and that assures us that Millsap and Jefferson are gone. Then picking up Larkin gives us hope that Mo is gone. I think both those players have the chance to be pretty good players.
Or maybe Goodwin with the first and Schroeder or Giannis with the second if they are there.

Are you crazy? You really wanna get someone to play in front of Burks? Some unproven player? That **** wouldn't even make sense after making Burks scratch and claw to get minutes because of the vet rule around here.
That's what I was saying. Wtf has Kentavious done to suggest he's a lottery guy that should start ahead of Alec?
Okay, first of all, Gobert is like the French version of Javalle McGee, although likely less a knucklehead. Nonetheless, he'd get 15 minutes of back-up duty at center at most. He might be available at 14. Most mocks have him in the 8 - 12 range.
Withey is a good back-up center, but he's not a guy you take at 14. Maybe 21.
I think Goodwin has the most talent of anyone that mocks say is available at 14, but he's a bit of a risk. The thing I like about him is his ability to get to the rim and get anywhere he wants on the floor. He just needs to make a smart play instead of forcing things when he gets there.
Larkin is a late first-round pick and too small to be a starter.
Giannis has a ways to go. No one knows what he'll be for 2 years at least, but maybe he's worth it. I see the risk with him, but I'm not sure if his upside is all that great.
Yeah, Schroeder is the guy everyone's talking about.
You don't like Olynyk or Caldwell-Pope?
?? I'm surprised by this. If we're starting Hayward, then who's our 6th man? Obviously that player needs to be able to handle the ball. Can get to the foul line. Instant offense type player. Burks this past year has proved he can handle the ball and get to the FT line and score in bunches if need be. He fits that bill perfectly. Because of this I'd have him anchor our 2nd unit.
Meanwhile KCP can play that Wesley Matthews role of couple of years ago, starting next to Kirilenko, hitting corner 3's. He won't be asked to do much byway of decision making or making plays. All he has to do is just defend and hit flat footed shots.
Kawhai Leonard was thrown into the starting lineup to do exactly that in his first year, I don't see why KCP couldn't. They're also from the same school BTW.
Very good post.
I swear I'm beginning to think you're bi
-polar. It's like I love and hate your posts like every other read.
There's who I would take and then there's who I think the Jazz will take.
If it were me, and McCollum is off the board, I'd want to take Goodwin or Schroeder. I'm making a concerted effort to avoid MCW.
I think the Jazz would see Goodwin as being risky and take either Schroeder or Caldwell-Pope. Btw, some mocks have us taking KCP.

No. Dont like them that much. Larkin and Whithey are both better pick imo. There is something to be said about players on good teams. Whithey was a bad *** in the tournament. Olynyk looks like a big nerd running around. I like the idea of Archie too. I would be happy with him at 14. Goodwin or Whithey at 14 are probably my two favorites
I think Whithey will be better than Dieng, Plumlee, Olynyk, and possibly Zeller, Len and Gobert.
I like Larkin because he wins, he has a lot of tools to build on, and he has the pedigree. I don't really care that he isn't six foot. There are a bunch of short point guards playing good right now. (Thomas, Robinson, Lawson etc..) I don't think we are looking for a franchise guy right there anyways.

I would take Archie at 14 and Whithey at 21. That would be sweet. But like idiot said, its hard to tell where they fall.
