Following potential 2014 draftees

[Avery]

Looks like Aaron Gordon was in the SLC airport today. Wonder if he got a quick chat with DL..

Poor guy is in Terminal E on Skywest's shatboxes.

We should all pitch in and get him a gift. I was thinking:

Speaking of Vision and Glasses, Isaiah Austin has completely disappeared from DX's mock(after being in the high 30's), and dropped to 60 on NBADARFT.net

Anyone know whatsup with that?

I don't know, but he'd be one of the most promising undrafted free agents ever. Very, very intriguing skillset.

Full Lotto Big Board

1)Wiggins
2)Parker
3)Gordon
4)Randle
5)?Exum?
6)Embiid
7)Smart
8)Vonleh
9)Stauskus
10)Lavine(Exum likely belongs with Lavine as far as I can tell they are the same player-scouts doe)
11)Nurkic
12)Payne
13)Harris
14)McDermott/Saric neither one will have a decent career but what the hell

if we go with Gordon to fill the SF position this guy is definitely worth a look at 23....

Bogdanovic is a big ball handling guard. Think more of a poor man's Ginobili or Harden. If you move him to SF, he'll be overmatched against a lot of guys, even though he's stronger than your avg euro guy and has a better wingspan.

1)Wiggins
2)Parker
3)Gordon
4)Randle
5)?Exum?
6)Embiid
7)Smart

10)Lavine(Exum probably belongs next to Lavine as far as I can tell they are the same player-scouts doe)
11)Nurkic
12)Payne
13)Harris
14)McDermott/Saric neither one will have a decent career but what the hell

Thoughts on Jarnell Stokes at 23 ?

I cant remember that ever being brought up. If Exums the first pick hes interesting, Stokes is the only prospect above Vonleh in rebounding rate in this draft.

Gotta admit, I was under the impression he was about 6'6" in-socks so I never considered him a 1st rounder, Measured 6'7 in socks 6'8½" in-shoes

Its been said in many ways the Jazz need some toughness, this kid reminds me of a Udonis Haslem type, he can hit a midrange jumper, and hes BIG, 263lbs. Stokes like Elfrid Payton is a JR that was born in 1994, meaning hes only 3 months older than Joel Embiid.

Jarnell showed very well vs Julius Randle and the Kentucky Bigs, going for 20 and 15. Also his little brother Isaiah Stokes is one of the top 2017 recruits

I'm torn on Stokes. He finds a way to be impactful, in college, that is. He's just too undersized and not athletic enough to play near the rim and has no perimeter game. He smells like a potential diamond in the rough in the 2nd and a reach for the 1st.

DeJuan Blair/Paul Millsap type in the 2nd round.

 

[Game6Conley]

I cant kill the Stokes pick at 23, im not crazy about it either though, his offense seems predictable for an NBA defender. He wont be on the board in the 2nd round though.

Cory Jefferson has fallen off DX's mock, id rather have him as a UDFA than Stokes at 23, for sure.

 

[Game6Conley]

If Aaron Gordon's the pick ill keep an eye on the Jazz, but ill retire from this board and switch my fandom elsewhere. I've been trying to to find candidates for the next team. Ive whittled the list down to 5;

Orlando, Philly, Sacramento, New Orleans and Atlanta.

LOL.. what do you have against Gordon exactly?????

Give me Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin as UDFA's allllll day. Thanks.

Just a bad pick at #5 with others still aboard..

Exactly??

On this board i think his Handle is overrated, as is his passing, his defense is very good, but he will get bulled over in the post if asked to defend elite PF's with post moves. His FT shooting is atrocious, he looks at times like the last place in the world he wants to be, is shooting freethrows in a packed arena.

Its not just AG though, part of the reason I became a Jazzfan was the direction the team was trending when KOC was in charge. I dont care to watch Trey Burke take 15 shots a game, Nor will i enjoy watching Hayward play like a paper thin, stereotypical white guy, at 12 mil per year.

????

Wiggins
Jabari
Exum
Vonleh

Then you're left with: Randle, Gordon, Smart. Who else would you pick? Randle?



Note: Embiid is out cos Utah only has 2 ways of obtaining talent, through Draft and FA and so unlike the Lakers, we can't stuff up our draft.

James Michael McAdoo
Isaiah Austin

Im glad you brought up McAdoo. Hes going to make a roster, id take him on the Jazz in a heartbeat tbh. Apparently hes been pretty good in some of these recent workouts

Embiid/Exum
Vonleh
Smart
Randle
Gordon-Fredette

You probably haven't heard cos you've been away too long, but Gordon has since fixed his shot and is knocking 'em down.
