Following 2016 potential draftees

He's intriguing.

I feel like there are a lot of sleepers in this draft. I'd be calling Boston to inquire about and trading #12 for #17 and #23.

Def. And then trading 17 and our two 2nds to maybe move up to 15 or 16 if we need to to snag Luwawu or Korky.
 
Misko Raznatovic: All our draft candidates – Furkan Korkmaz, Ante Zizic, Paul Zipser, Emircan Kosut, Kenan Sipahi, as well as Mega players (Ognjen Jaramaz, Alpha Kaba, Timothe Luwawu, Rade Zagorac, Ivica Zubac), reached an agreement of NBA buy outs!

Treviso Eurocamp starts June 10th. It will be interesting to see how many of the Euro prospects show up there.
 
I think I'm leaning toward Korky. Three-point shooting trumps everything else in this damn league it seems. Dubs were best in the league and had the best record. Spurs had the second best % and had the second best record...so damn important nowadays.

Here's the flipside to that coin though. How many teams win it all without a great wing defender. Lebron is one. Kawhi. When the Mavs won, they had a few really good guys they threw at Lebron including Deshawn. The Pistons had Prince. The Celts had Posey and Pierce. Do we have anyone that could be very, very, very good like this defensively? I don't have faith that Hayward will be or can be. So maybe this is more important and we draft Luwawu who could always become a solid shooter too. Heck, Hood and Lyles could become elite shooters...

Yep, Luwawu it is.

Of course Givony has us taking the 1 player I would be the least excited about.

*I actually I would be least excited about Deyonta Davis, but Jackson is a close 2nd*
Insider info: Utah has plenty of young talent, but could look to add depth at point guard, where they started Raul Neto and Shelvin Mack this season. Jackson has NBA-caliber athleticism, but is also a good enough shooter to play off the ball as well, which is handy with 6-foot-5 Dante Exum returning from injury.

Yes, because depth is the thing that we miss at the PG. Exum, Neto, Burke, Mack, Jackson... give us more PGs... especially small ones to be our 3d PG... those are the ones we need the most.

No, defensive players who can shoot and playmake trump everything. "Korky" seems to lack the defensive part.

Just cuz you have a lot of PG's doesnt mean you have good depth. We have 1 potential player and 3 third string PG's.
 
His game should be a lot better in the NBA. He is small, but he is ultra athletic. He is more ERic Bledsoe than Trey Burke.
 
IDK about that. He has potential. He could be a really good backup for a good starter.

I'm not sold on him. Like... AT ALL!!

Honestly, I'd rather wait for next year to get a PG. There are about 5 PGs that will likely be better than any of this year's PGs.
