We should see McDaniels, Lavine, and other players around that #23 pick.
LaVine has a 0% shot at being at #23 he could come in as a best case scenario at #5 or the potential of the Jazz trading down.

Jazz could trade up with the #23 and #35 picks.
If Boston loves Exum (and we threaten to take him), we could offer the #5, #23 and #35 for the #6 and #17.
Diaw is a much better athlete even old and overweight. A young Boris Diaw was a far superior athlete. Their skillsets are similar but I recall Diaw being a much better driver and finisher before he got fat.
But he is a much better post player (and passer) now that he's gotten fat.
He's a better passer now that he's fat? What? Why? How?
I have a tough time getting excited for players that don't play good D unless they're a primary offensive option. But I think a player with physical limitations on the defensive end of the floor can still be useful if they're smart, play hard, and buy into the defensive gameplan. If that's Kyle Anderson, then that's a pretty damn good get at that spot if what little I've found in research is true.
A legit #1 scoring option is still the most important single attribute to a championship-contender. And it's easier to hide a bad defender than be a good offense without a scorer to build an offense to build around.
I see Anderson as a defensive liability-- too slow to guard 3's and too weak to guard 4's. Maybe he gets a little stronger and his BBIQ and smarts will take him the rest of the way.
He's less mobile now that he is fat meaning he has to apply himself in other ways in order to be an effective player.
I don't know that that means he's a better passer.

@UT_Jazz_Nation: Jazz workin out Noah Vonleh tomorrow, crucial work out for them...
Starting SF for Uconn. Best TS% of SFs in this draft class. Very good shooter, decent size (6' 7", 6' 10" span), decent athleticism, smart player (which pairing that with his pure shooting ability accounts for his impressive TS%), competes defensively.
I will fully admit that I am no expert by any stretch on these prospects, but I know what attributes I like. And I really like intelligent shooters with NBA bodies and heart. You can never have too many of them. When a player like that happens to have won multiple championships at their level, that is a nice bonus too.

DraftExpress is an appropriate name for the site; It was quick research. If anyone would care to shed more light, I'm curious.
Nice.
Took advantage of many open corner 3 opportunities due to Shabazz and Boatright penetration this season. Good shooter. Looks to be 6'7'' and has about the same athleticism as a Chandler Parsons type only with 1/4 of the strength and skills. Kind of a [edit] and can't dribble. A good guy to have out on the perimeter if you have playmakers and there is somebody he can match up with on the other end.
