You think Exum has a shot?

Yes. I think "a shot" is a great way to put it. If he can develop a semi threatening "shot" (which I believe he will) then he can be a true #1.

I actually have my doubts that Embiid will be a true #1. I see him as a 18 and 11 guy with 3 or 4 assists a game.

Exum perhaps. Also if Saric can continue to improve the 3pt shooting could be quite the offensive threat.

I think its more true for Exum but players like Embiid and Saric will help facilitate a team with great ball movement which is what I want for the Jazz.

No isos please (unless necessary).

4th guard.
We already have a 3 guard rotation. (Hayward, burke, and burks)

Hopefully our new coach will figure a way to use Hayward primarily at the 3 (if we don't get wiggins or jabari) if we do in fact draft exum or smart.

That's what I was getting at. The Jazz need another guard who can play the point. Maybe that's Neto, maybe not. Garrett can return as the 3rd PG.

Gordon is honestly the biggest mystery to me. His obvious pluses are his athleticism, motor and elite defensive potential. His drawbacks are a defined offensive role at the next level (is he just a guy that collects the majority of his points in transition and put backs or can he consistently hit a mid-range jumper and be a force in the paint?) and atrocious FT%.

Some will say that his FT% will come around but if it doesn't he's a huge liability come crunch time. Then that negates a lot of his pluses.

He's an elite athlete though and can guard damn near anyone. If he didn't have the FT% issues and had a more refined offensive game he'd likely be going #1.

I wish Utah had scorers at all their other positions. Gordon IS an elite defender. He goes to a team that has four other scorers and that team could be scary good. But on the Jazz, we'd have to hope for games in the 80 pt range.

If Randle's measurements come in long and big at the combine then he will be flying up my draftboard. Its quite possible too. He is still so young. Could be growing still.

Randle is being treated a little bit like how Parker is being treated around here. Way too much nitpicking at their games. We are talking about very young kids still, who play like grown men already, and are far better prospects than other kids most years. . The future could be very bright for both Randle and Parker.

If Randle were drafted last year, he would have easily been the number 1 overrall pick. Thats another thing to consider here.

My goodness last years draft was bad. He probably would have won the roty award too. Not saying randle is that bad, but he will probably not be the roty next year.

Gordon would look real good on washington

No.

Beal, wall, nene, gortat is enough firepower imo so he wouldnt need to score. Plus i wall would be good at a fast pace, as would gordon.

Agree to disagree i guess

And you can determine that how?

By virtue of the fact that Saric is primarily a pass-first perimeter-oriented player. And by virtue of the fact that he lacks the athleticism to be much of an offensive force in the lane. He won't draw a double or be able to score over the defense...not ideal for a PF.

If you draft Saric, you're basically conceding that your #1 offensive option is going to be someone else.

I'd take a 6-4 220lb scoring pg over a 6-0 190lb scoring guard. If we draft Smart, let them duke it out, may the best man win.

I think Smart's game is going to be drive (i.e., bulldoze) and kick. He's not going to bother to cross people up. He'll just lower the shoulder and head for the paint.
 
too bad it looks like Saric, Nurkic, Capela, Porzingis, Micic, Bogdanovic, Tavares, Inglis, Jokic, Klimenko wont be at the combine
 
Wasn't someone, a couple hundred pages back, asking for proof that Wiggins head was at the rim when dunking and what not?

Well, I found some proof.

Just wanted to share this dunk by some player too, reminded me of Aaron Gordon.
