What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

just those 2.

again burke would be junior in college right now. your thought process made it sound like burke graduated from michigan.

and in no way, i'm comparing burke to those 2 phenoms. IMO healthy rose is the best PG and top 3 player in nba. and kyrie is just the mr. natural. that dude can flat out ball.

i'm only brought this up because he was compared to jameer nelson and mo williams. that's laughable.

His age though is comparable with a lot of college seniors. Just sayin. And comparing him right now with Jameer Nelson is fair. Their advanced stats are almost identical with few aberrations. Mo Williams plays a different role so I wouldn't compare these two. My fear with Burke is that he doesn't play enough transition to abuse high altitude for home court adv. Other than that I'm satisfied with what he displayed until now(both strengths and weaknesses)
 
I like Zach lavine but honestly he is redundant to burks. I guess you could start one or the other. Zach would also get the back up minutes to Burke. nice change of pace both ways.

if the jazz miss out on getting a dynamic wing in this draft would you consider offering say crymello a big offer. just think


draft embiid (wiggins and Parker gone) to high for Gordon
trade kanter in the mello deal with ny (won't be able to afford him)
match the only real offer for Hayward. 10 mil per year if he is lucky

Burke, Neto
Hayward, burks
carmello, young (jazz move up a little to take him mid teens)
favors, Williams (2 year 8 mil)
embiid, Gobert

puts the jazz mid 60s in salary

just a thought.

I don't think Melo would ever want to play in Utah. I also don't think he would want to play for a rebuilding team, even if it was a promising core like that.

Even with the tank in a bit of danger, I like our chances at landing Parker or Wiggins better than landing Melo.

why would melo ever come to utah? dude left denver for more exposure. he only wants to play for a big market.

and do you honestly want him here? what has he ever done other than ballstopping iso ball that will get the team absolutely nowhere?
 
PKM.. I thought for Christmas I would get those autographs, but I guess not. ;)

FWIW, I do still have them. Just been soooo damn lazy. And then I deleted my inbox, again, after having to ask you a second time. Was a bit embarrassed by that.

Vegas has Louisville by 2.5

Agree with the line. If I HAD TO bet I'd take UK with Randle showing big... but my heart is troubled we're looking at a loss.

I don't like the way Louisville plays

Is the first real team they are facing this year besides UNC?

Pretty much it.

UK has more size, talent, and have played a MUCH tougher schedule.
UL has more experience, speed, and playing at home. (they're also very tough defensively)
 
Russ Smith to a small degree (2nd rounder). Poor man's Kemba Walker.

Isn't he a bit of a chucker/ "one of the best players of the country" according to the Cardinals Italian mob-boss coach

Yes.. and well said.
Russ also called himself the "Best Player in the Country" in an interview a couple weeks ago.

Love him or hate him, Calipari would not allow that kind of talk from his players.
