Following potential 2014 draftees

I think KKK takes 'postions' too seriously. You put the the lineup that gives you the best chance to win on the floor (except in Corbin's case). You run the offense and match up the defense accordingly.

I'm not taking 'positions' seriously.

I'm just figuring out a way Favors, Kanter & Randle can all be on the court at the same time, ALL THE TIME, and leading us to an NBA Championship.

I love Randle's drive and HUNGER and I'd take him #1 in this draft all day, everyday.

Ah I see. Valid query

Then the simple answer would be that if that combination gives the Jazz the best chance to win, then that would be the case. The main problems would probably be inadequate ball movement and lack of dribble penetration. On defense it is obvious. If they had to hide Kanter and Randle, that could be a problem. There is plenty of time to evaluate this, however, so I wouldn't worry so much. If Randle is BPA in the Jazz mind when it is their turn to pick, they will take him.

Also, I can drive it long and straight, and I haven't eaten in a while so I'm quite hungry. Would you take me?

Over the past 2-3 games if you've been following my analysis on this you would have seen that Randle is more than adequate at dribble/drive to either:

1) Finish at the rim;

2) Draw a foul and get to the FT (in fact I think he'll live there this year); or

3) Kick it out to a 3pt shooter.


In fact he had surprised all of us with his ability to handle the ball and having enough vision to pass it out of double team or traffic for wide open 3 pointers.

Go back a couple of pages and you'll see plenty of video analysis supporting this.

Nobody is doing this.

NBA is much more difficult. Can he hit an NBA three so people don't sag off of him? Does he have adequate quickness, handles, and change-of-pace skills necessary to drive the basketball in the NBA? Can he receive the ball on the perimeter and make a quick, accurate decision? Your video analysis of highlights is nice, but no one will really know these things until he plays a season in the NBA most likely.
 
And that's not saying that would be a bad lineup, I'm just saying those would be the biggest problems with a lineup of Randle, Kanter, Favors. And this mostly has to do with Favors lack of a consistent jump shot, Kanters inability to handle the basketball, and Favors and Kanter's inadequacy passing the ball.
 
Julius Randle is Michael Beasley w/o the weed problem (maybe). He reminds me of Terrence Jones. He will be nice but don't think his dominance in college as a tweener 3/4 will translate to the pros.

Jabari or bust.

Randle is more aggressive than Beasley, more athletic, and it seems like he has more of a drive.

Could he be a tweener? I don't think so. He measured in at 6'9 and 250 pounds with a 6'11 wingspan and 8'9.5" standing reach when he was 17/18. Will he grow more? Who knows...but he's definitely got good enough size to play the 4 position, and he's certainly athletic enough to do so.

However like I've said countless times, he's an immense mismatch for other defenders at the 4 position...if you play him at the 3, he's less of a mismatch. Much less. He's not a tweener IMO though.
 
Anybody gonna make game threads for tonights jazz prospect workout?

I won't be able to watch so it would ve nice to have gamethreads to follow
 
Here’s the offseason I’d shoot for:

With our own pick, I’d take either Parker or Wiggins.

Then I’d package our GS pick with Kanter and Burks or Burke and try and get as high as possible and take either Exum, Andrew Harrison, or Marcus Smart (in order of preference).

Then I’d slightly overpay Pau to come here for 2-3 yrs, then I’d run out this team:

Pau
Favors
Wiggins/Jabari
Gordo
Exum/Harrison/Smart

I'd rather have Kanter than Pau. I also like Aaron Harrison as the value-pick version of Andrew Harrison in the teens of the draft. I'd love to get Exum though.

If you want to move up for a big you really like then package the GS pick with Kanter, if you like a guard, then you could package it with Burke.

I like it, I would switch Favors and Kanter though.
 
If you are using a top three pick on someone you don't make him fit your system. You make your system fit him. There is no reason to draft Randle and play him at the 3. we would put him at the four and get another player by trading Favors or Kanter.
