Following potential 2013 draftees

If Dallas twisted our arm, it's possible they could get us to trade them #14 and #45 for #13. OKC is probably going to take a big, either Olynyk or Adams, at #12.

Tony Mitchell =Walter Sharpe

PASS, PASS, PASS. If I were Chicago knowing what Thibedo has done for Taj Gibson I might draft Tony Mitchell. If the Jazz take him I will cheer, but only because my brain will be numb. He could be very successful in the NBA (I'm betting against it) but it will NOT be with the Jazz.

Shane Larkin with the 2nd biggest max vertical all-time at the combine with 44 inches!

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Schroeder is off the board and we went with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope at #14 and Shane Larkin at #21.

- Caldwell-Pope can contribute straight away with his shooting (he shot 38% from 3's this year). He'll have plenty of opportunity with Favors and Kanter on the floor together.

- Shane Larkin can be that PG off the bench providing sparks, pushing the ball, playing next to Burks in the 2nd unit. Larkin shot 40% from 3's this past season - so he's a great fit for our offense/personnel.

They're not home run picks, but they're pieces we do need. These guys are skilled, athletic and most of all can shoot the 3's consistently. If you look at who the Spurs drafted/bring in, look at Green with his shooting, look at Gary Neal with his shooting. Caldwell-Pope & Larkin are exactly the type of players Lindsey would have looked at if they were Spurs' picks.

Play those guys heavy minutes and hopefully we lucked out and get one of the Harrison brothers in the '14 draft.

I also read that Pope has a great first step to get past his defender but can't finish after that. Get the man a charity foundation and he is a Jazzman for life.

Well he could finish in transition pretty well, but in traffic yes he still needs to develop that part of his game. Wouldn't say it's not fixable though, the athleticism is there for sure.

This vid was posted last week from memory? I think it's worth looking at again, now that Schroeder could be off the board when we pick and in preparing ourselves for the possibility of Caldwell-Pope:

I definitely do not support trading both firsts for Schroeder. He just doesn't have the body of work to justify this when those picks could land KCP and Bullock, two guys that could really help our perimeter D and open lanes for Hay, Burks, and future PG.

And, if Schroe rises, then maybe it is McCollum who falls -- and I still have him by a nose over the German.

My posts make it sound like I'm down on him. But I'm not really. Just repeating what I read. Thanks for posting teh video, I will watch it later.

Ronnie Brewer with a Jump shot?


Mike Prada @MikePradaSBN Watching Caldwell-Pope, he really lacks strength when he drives. Probably explains why he shoots so few shots in the paint. Has to improve.


Mike Prada @MikePradaSBN Caldwell-Pope isn't as good a prospect as Paul George, but games are sort of similar. KCP's off-ball defense could stand to improve tho

Mike Prada @MikePradaSBN Caldwell-Pope is really good at getting his shoulders by his man on drives and shot-fakes. Struggles once he gets to the second level.
 
Really wish Goodwin would have had a good camp so he would have gotten some early hype and climbed the mock drafts. He really has room to improve his stock since the draft is weak in lottery bound SG's. Hopefully he kills it in team workouts. That would help insure Schroeder drops to us.
 
Also, Chad Ford seems convinced that Saric will be a top 10 pick, or at least a lottery pick. That differs from DX mock and would also help bump Schroeder down to us.
