Shane Larkin is the point guard we should be going after, son a previous successful professional athlete. Athletic testing on this kid was outstanding that he could stay in front of his man and also blow by the man guarding him.

And also have every guy in the NBA shoot over him.

With way more fight. It's not what you've got, it's how you use it. That's why the interviews were the most important part of the Combine.

I guess you are fine with weak spots on your team.

The Miami heat can get away with that, the Jazz and just about everyone else cannot.
 
we can use larkin off the bench... til the end of his career, if he can play, he can play. stop searching for perfect players if theyre not close to the top, there's reason... if its time for defense slide burks to PG and Gordo to SG

what was nates Vert? oh... 43.5 according to DX

his numbers are favorable to nates and equally as explosive, 10lbs less hes over 5'11" in shoes, nates got long arms this kid doesnt, theyre very close in measurements... and he plays under control, i like his chances

Wow, we are now aspiring to get a player that **might** be as good as Nate Robinson, who can't seem to stay on a team. I cannot wait for that.

Or you could stop trying to find reasons why every player can be a perfect fit. Some guys are just more likely than others.. not that those other players couldn't/wouldn't become nice playere as well..
 
I have really enjoyed watching Nate Robinson in this years playoffs. When he is on he is a game changer. When he is not he really hurts your team. Similar to Randy Foye, when he is not making the long ball then he hurts your team.

I'm not high on Larkin. I think that at both the 14 and 21 picks there are players that have more potential.
 
On another note, coaching a a big factor is getting the most out of your players. I think we can all agree that Thibs is better than Corbin in that regard. I just don't see Corbin taking a player like Larkin and using him in the best way possible. I hate to say it but I think if the Jazz draft Larkin it will be a waste of a pick. Just my opinion.

i dont know about you, but i cant nitpick shane larkin who registered a 44 inch vertical, can shoot, and led Miami to a top 3 ranking as a sophomore... when i watched jamal tinsley and earl watson play heavy minutes on the professional team i root for. if thats the pick, the jazz FO knows more than me, im just saying if thats the pick at 21, i wont complain. how do you compare shane to kemba

I don't want to compare anything to this season. I feel like is has been a waste of 82 game for the players, coaching staff, franchise and fan base.
 
I hate it when people attempt to justify why someone will be good because they can find vid on a different person with similar physical attributes that's done well... rather than dozens of vids of players that haven't. I like measurements and all... but there's just so much more to basketball.

i just hate when people say ill pass on that player because of his size, when theres effective players in the nba at that size already, u kno me tho i put the guys with similar body types next to each other, kemba is way better than larkin no doubt, imo, but i watched him in HS and hes from my state, so im biased

all im saying is theres precedent these type of players can be effective
