Following 2016 potential draftees

Booker is our only expiring contract out of 14 players next year.

That's 13.

You would assume we are going to draft 1 first rounder, making 14 contracts. You would also assume (though maybe we shouldn't) we would make one free agent signing of some sort of veteran. That would be 15. Not really a lot of room for draft picks on this roster unless we cut Johnson/Withey.

This is the pick. all he's gotta do now is shoot well for teams in workouts.. You can mix&match Hood, Luwawu, Hayward, Burks and even Jingling Joe seamlessly.

Hayward and Luwawu present an interesting(improved) defensive look, especially vs a team trying to play multiple smaller guards..

Rich Mans Thabo Sefolosha, I had this player comp right early on..

I'm still cool with them taking all french players.. Infact sign me up for Luwawu in the 1st and Coordiner, Kaba and Cornelie the 2nd - that'd be highway robbery.

Same team Jokic played for.

Which is why it's ideal to have a bunch of 2nd round picks.. So they can coerce multiple international players to declare and remain in the draft pool, because their positioned to make (and keep) promises. (This includes college players to be stashed overseas, like Olivier Hanlan... sorta)

Nik Slavica in the 2nd round could be an interesting prospect for Utah to stash.. He's quite athletic/twitchy and lifts off the ground quickly. and I'd guess sports a wingspan over 7', wouldn't be surprised if he's still growing either.. born in the summer of '97 would make him one of this drafts youngest. there will be players his age getting drafted for years to come.. He's certainly got plenty of defensive potential..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3PBvUcE1Us Here's the highlights from his outburst the other day. He's kind of rigid in half-court offense, he can get to the rack though and he's clearly an NBA level athlete defensively, which makes him an intriguing prospect at this stage.

I also can't help but think that the Jazz might prioritize a C to stash(Possibly Qi, Jeanne[who's more of a 7'2" PF] or even Zubac in the 1st).. They had Tomic stashed, traded for a stashed Pleiss, so now there's kind of a void. I like the idea of paying for another developmental C project like that, it's $$$ well spent for an NBA team. Kinda hoping that continues - 7'3" Yousoupha Fall!!

Saw Slavica play during the summer and was pretty impressed.

I'm officially on the Ingram > Simmons train. Would you rather have Durant or Griffin? I'd rather have Durant, especially on this team. If I was some teams, I'd probably go with Simmons (like the Wolves), but others I'd go with Ingram (Sixers/Hawks/Lakers).

lmao... Ingram is nothing lie Durant, First off your talking about 3 inch heigh difference.. Ingram doesn't hve great lateral quickness either and I a pretty crappy efender at thi moment. He is a top 5 pick but number 1?? No gm would take him over Simmons. This is comical

Homer alert: I'm hoping Floor-burn-meistro Ron Baker (Wichita State) falls to the Jazz with a later pick.

I watched him in international play this last summer and he showed why he will never pay in nba. Doesn't have the ball handling to run the point and his shot was getting blocked on the regular... Baker is a European payer plain and simple and not a top tier league either.. Baker needs Van Vleet. Notice how when Fred ws out Baker couldn't carr the team or run the team... He is nice college player but he has ZERO chance of plaing in the nba

Ingram measured 6'8 w/o shoes in 2015, before his Freshman year at Duke.

Durant measured 6'9 w/o shoes after his Freshman year at the combine.

Igram has a 7'3 wingspan, Durant has a 7'4.75 wingspan.

Ingram has a 9'1.5 standing reach, Durant has a 9'2 standing reach.

So much different in size, you're right. *sarcasm*

He'll play in the NBA. He might not stick, but he is going to get a shot.
 
Know this kid a 2017 kid but since he a local thought id ask yall. I watch whole gamesand not just highlight tapes but Jalen Moore from USU I have seen 3 games and he has impressed me. Whats some of yall thoughts on him? To me I think he needs to add some weight nd muscles but he controls the bll great for hi size and that 30 foot bounce psss last night against Air Force had me smiling and juping off my chair. Plus love the hair.lol... I know some of yall have seen him more then me so figure id ask.. I also read he was 2nd in long jump in high school finals? So he a decednt athlete from what little I hve seen. Whats the knock on him/ I was hyping up Larry Nance as a junior at Wyomming nd now he doing work for lakers. Moore might be my steal fro the MWC.. Love the Zimmerman kid from UNLV however but as a steal could Moore be a solid player? All 3 games I have seen him play he puts up number across the boards

doubt it... Did you not see him in international play with other nba players last summer? He was getting abused on defense and couldn't produce on offense... If he wss a better ball handler then I could see him getting a shot but he isan underside 2 guard who is less athletic and way less of a shooter then Jimmer nd Jimer Is where now?

Durant is 6foot11 at this moment so your just going assume Ingram isn't done growing?
 
I like our roster other than Pleiss. Ish could be legit next year if we develop and get a solid 1st rounder. Deep actually.
 
I think this guy is worth a look in the 2nd round.... reminds me a bit of Isiah Thomas.


Remember his name: "Malik Newman"


He apparently turned down an offer to go to UK.

We are relieved. Would have missed on Murray otherwise.
