I like it, assuming Favors, Gobert and Kanter continue to progress. Can LaVine shoot at all?

yup he shot 38% from 3 on 3.5 attempts per as a freshman, was near 50% to start the year but he tailed off at the end. hes got a quick release and the ability to stop on a dime and pull-up.
 
I still think the jazz will draft at least 1 draft and stash "euro" player

hopefully its Inglis, this kids 18 and built like a brick house, 240lb SF, 7'3" wingspan, defends multiple positions hes very mobile and has some dribbling and passing to his game

Anyone (besides Hotttnikkk) think Vonleh can play some minutes at the SF ? He looks like he can do some of the things Lamar Odom did, if Vonleh can stay light on his feet.

I think he will be able to guard most forwards. If he ups his skill level it'd be hard to keep him off the floor for that reason.
 
Holy cow, just watched some stuff on Embiid... would be a steal to get him at #4 based on his showing this year at Kansas. He is raw in a lot of ways, but man he has mobility, intesity, and length. Good coaching could make him one of the all-time greats... I know that sounds like a broken record, I've been reading similar stuff all year, but until I watched some actual game footage, I didn't really understand.
 
So, getting back to Mario Hezonja..... I think he's the kind of guy who will kill it in the playoffs. I would take him in the top 10 if we somehow get another pick.

I remember reading somewhere that Mario was kinda of a selfish player. So I am not so high on him if he is but again I don't think he will be in play where the Jazz pick.

His handle is better than I thought it was, and it looks like he's got a bit of quickness here and there. He can do hesitation dribbles and basic spin moves. It look like he's much of a passer though. Maybe a ball-stopper.

he also has michael jordan lunchbox hands too. but last time i checked he is very raw and can't really shoot. pick him up with our 2nd and keep him in the d league for 2 years and see how he develops
 
yup, his shooting mechanics are a bit off he needs some work. Inglis has been able to shoot good percentages somehow the past 2 seasons, albeit on limited attempts, 38% and 35% from 3, over 70% ft's
 
On one of his podcasts in the past week, David Locke was talking about teams that run a two point-guard line-up, like the Clippers with Chris Paul and Nick Collison. Locke was saying that this is one of the "trends" in the league, and that if the Jazz draft Marcus Smart he could play next to Burke, and so on. I thought the whole topic was strange to even bring up, but it occurs to me that maybe Locke is signaling to fans that the Jazz like Marcus Smart over Julius Randle. The Jazz have about a 56% chance of drafting at #5 or #6, and the most likely players to choose from would be Randle and Smart.

Seemed a bit like Locke was trying to sell fans on Smart in case that is the player we end up drafting.

*Darren Collison and maybe he was talking about Exum as well? Who knows, I would be alright with drafting Smart, dude is a shut down defender.
