That wasn't my opinion.. that was who the jazz will select from.

So you think the Jazz's reported interest in Looney is a smokescreen....?
Sort of, yes.
Has there been reports of that?
Problem I have with Looney is I don't see a lot of fire or #hunger in him.
This is good news for us if this is gonna be our final year of 'tanking' and shooting for the playoffs next year....
Yeah, I would say this trade opens up the whole "bpa" thing more. I still don't like WCS because I think his skill-set is redudant to what we have and I doubt he is the BPA, in my eyes, where we pick.

I would concur with this. I think where the jazz will be drafting the wings seems to be BPA. (alot could change)
okafor - would be a nice 3rd big in our rotation but I am not sold maybe because of the Jefferson comparisons. not a lot of scenarios where I see the jazz drafting him.
russell - looks special. I would love to have him. with exum showing good defensive instincts he and Russell would make an amazing back court duo of the future. he is my number one
mudiay - for some reason I am just not sold on him. I watch video and more videos trying to change my opinion but if he is BPA so be it. he is completely different then exum and they could play together.
porzingis - I have been hot and cold with him all year. I am very cold right now but I think his defense is better then okafors but that is not saying much. I think porzingis spends to much time out side but he could be a nice 3rd big.
Johnson - I have liked him all year. he is a winner and loves to compete. he fills a lot of the holes on the jazz and makes them a better defensive team instantly. I have been waiting for his shooting to come back to earth but hasn't that is a testament to his work ethic.
towns - I like him the most out off all the bigs in this draft. his ability to stretch the floor and play solid defense is unique. I see a lot of Sam Perkins in him.
hezonja - is one of the most prolific scorers in this draft next to Russell. I think he fits this team the best. he is an alpha scorer and has deep range on his shot. he has the ability to play defense when he wants.
to be continued ...
This is turning out to be a pretty solid draft with the top #7 picks that you've mentioned. (solid top 8 if you add WCS).
I feel like any of those guys could turn out to be an All Star one day (with WCS potential DPOY).
Huh? As long as Lindsay keeps whiffing on these picks, we'll be perfectly set up for the top of the draft the next season. Awesome how that works, eh?
The bad news is, the quality of every draft looks better the closer it gets (and as the hype machine gets fully revved up).

Not sure. I think it would be a stretch.
If we were at 5 instead of 7, then I think it would be much more likely.

No chance with Gobert in the league.

And Towns.
Yeah I'm of the opinion that it would be damn hard to trade from 7 up to the top 3. Even from 5 to 3 could be hard. I feel like we saw it last year - a 2/3 slot drop at the top of the NBA draft is damn hard to make up. Seems to get harder every year, too.
It does feel like a top 3 pick in this draft would be a real pivotal moment for the franchise. Granted, if we don't and we suck again next year, there's always 2016. But I'm tired of saying that.
