Following potential 2014 draftees

[Hantlers]

How much will that drop his draft stock?

Teams with good GM's won't touch him. Team with bad GM's will still draft him.

There are more bad GM's than good ones. Unfortunately for Walker, this is an incredibly talented draft so he won't have as much leeway as he would've in a year like this one.

 

[Dr. Jones]

How much will that drop his draft stock?

Not much.. maybe a couple spots. He's a top 8 talent.. this could put him as a steal at end of lottery. (I HATE him)

So he would be gone by the GS pick. A situation like this could make DL look like even more of a genius.

Hant said it better than I did.... hate that.

Looks like Hayward better get used to playing the SF position this year...

If there's a team we should be helping with trades and TPEs, it's Sacramento. We have a shot at the 6th worst record, the same as New Jersey had when we got into the top 3 for Kanter.

Someone talented falling because of question marks. That is the kind of thing the Jazz could take advantage of because of a 2nd first round pick.

We could at least take Chuck Hayes with our TPE.

What TPE?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

What TPE?

I'm assuming we get a TPE for trading Foye to Denver.

I don't care how talented Walker is, I don't draft him. I hate stupid players.

 

[Hantlers]

Hant said it better than I did.... hate that.

Get used to it.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Would love to have Hayes.. not many better to mentor a young core in doing it the right way.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I wonder if we can get AK to Sacramento to pass the ball around.

I really think we need to get into the top 6.

It doesn't have to be Walker, but someone who slides.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I love what the Jazz are doing. Seriously, I don't think I've been this excited as a fan since the 90s.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

poythress might slide. with all that talent he might not get as many touches. I think he has solid talent and will shine on a team where he doesn't have to be the star.



edit shone to shine

He'd be a good pick with the GSW pick. I'm looking forward to seeing him play this year.
