Following potential 2015 draftees

Sup yall. not gonna be posting regularly, perhaps ill visit every few months and dump some info.

After much review and looking at tons of footage, I truly believe that the Jazz should be targeting 2 players at the top of the Lottery, Kristaps Porzingis or Stanley Johnson.

I believe those 2 players both are EXCELLENT fits with the players the Jazz currently have, I think they'd both bring an Element that is just not on this team, Johnson I believe to be a vastly more talented version of Ron Artest, and tbpfhwy I think Porzingis brings an element to this team that other teams just do not have.

I have Kristaps 3rd on my big board. 7 Games into this season and he looks damn good (check it out), I think he's the best international bigman in the draft since Serge Ibaka...

Ive been very surprised with his passing this year tbh, he moves the ball quickly on the perimeter , and shows the ability to make some really nice high-low entry passes into the post

I also have a sneaking suspicion theyre sandbagging his Wingspan, I bet he measures out near 7'5 at the combine.

39% from 3 on 1.9 attempts per, over a steal and a block per game in 21 minutes per, I think the footage is even more impressive than those stats from a 7' 19 year old PF. (that video was posted last night, its hot off the presses)

I think the Jazz should try and trade for another first round pick, I really like Rozier, he seems very complete, I like his handle, I love his defense, He's 6'2 (6'7 wingspan) and a solid 190lbs, I like his ability to finish at the rack too...

(obviously I hate UL players, but this player is undeniably talented)

Who is the Alex Len of this years draft? Who gets that prestigious 97 rating?
 
RJ Hunter is cold blooded. this isnt a Travis Bader story. This is a first round pick, and hes got a cannon. dude can SHOOOOOT, and it was proven beyond a doubt this summer in camps vs top level competition, thats why many of these sites revised their mocks and put him in the first.

He'd be the best shooter on the Jazz, watch this, hes not a one trick pony either, Im not gonna say hes projects to be a good defender, but he gets steals, hes very good in the passing lanes, and the bottom line is this player is cash money with the game on the line...

Automatic when left wide open and hes got a ton of range, but he gets double teamed at georgia st... Stauskas ascension thru the ranks last season, proves to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hunter belongs in the first round, and I expect him to climb the rankings as the season progresses.

Hunter can make it rain in the pros, im sold.

I really Like Jusuf Nurkic, IMO the best part of his game is how he gets steals, I was shocked at how in that aspect he almost reminded me of Nerlens. Im sure I had him near the top 10 last year. Great hands, nimble Feet, He can drop low very quickly, Great Size/Strength Hes young and he plays with ferocity, whats not to like, other than a layer of babyfat. The footage was a bit much to handle because he was so dominant, but i was always quite sure that he'd be a frustrating matchup for NBA players last year.

There will be more players from coming from Bosnia, He and Dragan Bender will be the starting front court for their national team for the next 10 years, and those 2 will whoop on some brandnames in those competitions.

I think he develops into a Pekovic type player, and hes got much much better dexterity, I really am partial towards Enes, but by the time the draft rolled around I'd have traded him for Nurkic straight up without thinking twice.

Welcome back man. Always liked your inputs on this thread.

I believe Bender can be the next big star from Europe. He is a very exciting and very young prospect. I believe he has a tremendous upside and IF he improves some of his shortcomings he can become the best Euro big in the NBA in the future.

Who is this year's Alex Len?

Also, you are dumb for not having Bobby Portis in your top 20.

Obviously it's Kristaps Porzingis.


But this time I do agrees with him. What's not to like? A 7'0 PF who runs the floor like a guard, blocks shot, and has range out to the 3pt line. Talk about a perfect fit to Quin's system.


Gobert/Favors/Millsap/Porzingis - that is a mouthwatering lineup with size, shooting and a potential to be truly great.

Also, PGAB, what about Kenan Sipahi?
Click to expand...

Well he's a 2nd round pick, In alot of ways i think hes like a Poormans Dante Exum, he's got a slow release on his shot. I dont think we will see him in this draft though, being a 6'6 PG that appears to be athletic and control of his dribble, with possibly enough shooting ability to keep ya honest, means he's really got plenty of room for improvement. he's needs to do is improve his shiftyness, he needs to watch some Allen Iverson highlights and find a go-to crossover, at this point hes kind of a stiff when your talking NBA standards, Hes gotta be the best international PG on the draft radar born in 95' though.

I gotta say, I much prefer Boris Dallo (94'), the first 11 seconds of this video show why, hes 6'4 and quick, Dallo gets to the basket effortlessly.

I think we see Dallo in the draft this year too.

Thx man, and I agree, I think Dragan Bender has world beater potential tbh, He throws outlet passes like Kevin Love, that is not normal!!

DX has him way underrated at #13. I believe that Bender is a much better prospect than Egemen Guven, Georgios Pappagiannis, or Henry Ellenson.

in 29mpg in this U18 tourney his stats were 14.4ppg, 10.4 rpg, 4.9ast, 2.2 blocks, 1.1 steals. (meaning he almost led this tournament in Rebounding, blocks, and assists...)

I just want Sipahi to be good cuz there has yet to be an Albanian player in the NBA, and both of my parents were born in Kosovo (same as Kenan). Bums me out that the rest of the Former Yugoslavian republics are bringing forth blue-chip talents while the nation of my ancestry lags behind.

yup, Ive been watching him too and he just played his best game ever on the 29th.

23 mins, 18 points, 7/12 fg's (3/4 from 3) 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks.

Heres his plays from the game (makes and misses);

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC_vc7uLVpM

It would be much easier to watch the defense, ANY combination of Favors, Booker, Porzingis and Rudy will at the very least be solid.

Bender has the highest upside I've seen for a long time. He has many extra talents. The only worry I have about him that he might be an early bloomer. Maybe that's why people not that hyped much yet. I'm expecting one more tournament from him like the last one he had, to be convinced about his game character and work ethic.

But I'm not low on Güven either. He's the safest bet to me amongst the young Euro C/PF prospects. He hasn't the same extreme upside as Bender's but he is a very very sound player fundamentally. Already has a very impressive post game and he's one of the smartest players from his generation. He possesses very high basketball IQ, high offensive awareness and a long body. Many comparisons say he plays very similar to Pau Gasol and I mostly agree. He led the Turkish U18 NT to the championship on a very stacked roster.

And you are absolutely right about Pappagiannis though, I am not impressed by his play at all in any of the tournaments. I believe he's more of a stiff with a huge body than being a good NBA potential.
