He's the kind of player that needs a decent PG feeding him the ball for his dunks and stuff. He can hit the 3 only when he's really wide open and in rhythm.

Defense starts with good footwork. Not long arms. Tht is such a myth
Holy ******* you are dumb.
I think the Jazz would be open to drafting Marcus Smart. Burke is okay, but I think Smart is an upgrade both offensively and defensively.
Edit: Nevermind, I just looked at his shooting percentages.

Yeah, I consider Smart a SG. Has enough length and size to defend the position IMO.
They aren't completely pointless, they give you an idea of who to look for and watch, especially in the first round. But as far as whether this player goes in front of or after that player its way too early to know for sure. Also have to see who declares, so its all speculation before then anyway.
I think there are 4 players in this draft that can really help the Jazz -- Embiid, Parker, Wiggins and Exum. That's it. The rest won't make a big difference, and that includes Randle and Vonleh.

This is a scathing article on Andrew Wiggins.

Dude has a lot of good/interesting articles.
Wiggins isn't a guaranteed super-star for sure. I think without all the hype, he would be a 3rd overall pick in a lot of drafts.
I got a hunny on Exum going to college guys. More than a hunch.Who got dat?
Doubt I ever collect tbh.
u ****tin me cy? Hype IS a part of draft pickology ya know? So your statement is kinda durr.

Couldn't disagree more bout the 3rd pick thing. Obviously I can't guarantee superstardom for anyone.

I was listening to Colin Cowherd interview someone (can't remember who it was) the other morning, and this person was saying that Jabari Parker's defense is horrifically bad and practically non-existant. I'll admit, I haven't been watching any Duke games this season...so I was somewhat shocked. Is his defensive effort THAT bad? If so, is he really a player that can get us a chip? Carmelo never got close to a championship...he's the first one to come to mind.
His per 40 numbers are great. I believe he saw him in person a few days ago and was quite impressed. Apparently a few NBA scouts were there as well.
He spend 80% of his time scouting overseas. Doesn't really do a lot of college work until March Madness. The guy who does the scout videos (Mike Schmitz) is the one who follows the College scene.
