So what's your argument then when you said Larkin is smallest guy therefore we shouldn't draft him?

It features some nuance, you might have a tough time digesting it.

guys, if hes moved those picks to Larkin and Saric, hes heard the jazz are looking for passing, triple threat players, also i bet they are looking for players who can get the ball to the bigs...
these players are 2 of the best passers in the draft.. saric might be the best, outside of MCW, he might be better tho..

saric is certainly a better passer than this years adam morrison, Nate Wolters

It's an idiotic argument, especially coming from someone who spent so much time mocking those who didn't like Millsap- who plays a position where size is much more important IMO- because of his size.

No it doesn't. It's simplistic and ignorant.

Saric vs. Giannis (what I could glean from DX)
Both born in '94. Saric is 8 months older (big deal).
Saric listed 27 lbs heavier than Giannis.
Wingspan: Saric 6'10" vs. Giannis 7'3"
3pt: Saric 30% vs. Giannis 34%
FT: Saric 50% vs. Giannis 70%
Both are said to be good passers. But Giannis enormous hands are talked about as strengths in passing, ball-handling, and finishing.
Saric defense numbers look meh. Giannis is also less than spectacular here but the writeup mentions that defensive is the aspect of the game in which he has the most potential.
I've never seen either play - except online clips. Based on very little info I'm leaning Giannis.
Anyone care to enlighten me?

Saric will be OK offensively, not sure how he'll go against the SFs of the NBA though... I don't think he can stay in front of them.

i like both players more than Karasev, especially for the jazz, for the simple fact they fit playing over Hayward, Karasev is like a smaller hay
Saric might have Boris Diaw Passing ability, very impressive passes if u look at his whole body of work, that highlight i posted is just from the 1st quarter of that game..
do you see those crisp passes?

he shouldent be worse than Gallinari on D
Toss-up. I'd maybe take Plumlee as bpa, though.
1 - Millsap is a proven NBA player, Larkin is not. Millsap was also drafted in the middle of the 2nd round (in a terrible draft).
2 - Larkin might work out (as any could), but I like other players more.
3 - Size is a piece of the equation, not the whole equation. When you're an "est" on the wrong side of the spectrum, it's folly to wholly disregard it. Would you argue that size plays no role in the quality of a player? If you don't, where is the point for you to have concern?
4 - Say what you want, I think it's very hard to be a consistently effective defender when you're almost assuredly the smallest player on the floor on a given night.
Larkin might be good. He might be the right pick. Or he might not. I'd rather pick someone else at 14.
Then who does he guard?
Int'l players is not my thing.. but I've heard very little positive about either .. other than Giannis' potential. Based on very little.. I'd puy Giannie mid 20's and Saric early 2nd.
