No way. Being a Jazz fan means I have unrealistic and irrepressible hope. Jazz are going to get a top 3 pick this year and next.
And when they do this year, they need to take Porter, McLemore or Shabazz, because champions are made with elite wing scorers and competent bigs. Jazz need the scorer.
fixed
There are huge question if any of those players are elite.
There is a huge question about your credentials to question Otto.

Combine invites starting to go out it looks. RT @Jkarnes1: Congratulations to @NateWolters on being invited to the 2013 NBA Draft Combine!
That is for the official NBA draft Combine in Chicago May 15-19. That is ahead of the lottery. I thought that in years past it was held after the lottery because the interview process. Maybe the NBA teams got tired of agents holding their players out of work-outs, measurements and/or interviews based on possible draft order?
Good news is that it will give us something else to talk about startin in just 8 days!

Ugh this draft is awful.

FYI @AnthonyBennett will have surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff-left shoulder w Dr. Altchek
Agent Jeff Schwartz confirms Bennett will be out up to 4 months. No draft workouts or summer league for Bennett
Bennett will have surgery on Wed per Schwartz. Wanted to have surgery now to make sure he's available for training camp.
Three players in our Top 10 - Nerlens Noel, Alex Len & Bennett -- now out with injuries for entire draft workout process & summer league.
I'm glad the Jazz have no chance of being in the 4-10 spot. Somebody is going to have to role the dice on one of these injured players.

Don't think Bennett's injury affects us much unless we are unbelievably lucky in the lottery. In any case, I don't think a rotator cuff will influence his draft position. Len could slip though.

It's good to be in 8-15 range in this draft. Lots of value bets there.
I don't know.. I'm concerned he's a bit 1 dimensional though.
Take Klay Thompson. He's a shooter as well. But he can also put the ball on the floor and finish at the rim. He can dunk it, he can reverse layup it. He's also athletic enough to defend. I don't know if Karasev will be able to defend the likes of LeBron & Carmelo (that's what he'll be asked to do as a SF in this league).
I'm not 100% sold he can stay in this league. He screams Kyle Korver to me.
And Korver is a starter on a playoff team and one of the best 3 points shooters in the NBA. Thats a pretty good guy to get out of this draft considering. Plus watching Karasev play he is a really good passer. That right there makes him more than one demential

Drafting Korver at 21 would be a steal, and I think he has a better floor game then Korver.
He is not just a shooter. He is an good passer and gets to the foul line as well. He is just 19 years old but has the experience. Defensively, his wingspan is not bad but he needs to gain strength and he probably will. He won't be lockdown defensive player but he won't be liability too. Also you can change his place with Hayward on some matchups.
Though, I admit that saying he is NBA-ready is an exaggeration.
I don't know ... I'd prefer an athletic wing who can defend and a finisher at the rim, over a shooter/passer (which we already have in Hayward). Our defense is so porous right now we could really use a lengthy defender.
So given the choice I'd go for Adetobunko over Karasev.

That's more of a cultural generalization. Has nothing to do with race.
Yeah I do get that, but with the #21 it's "home run" time IMO..
