With Exum back healthy and hungry,the jazz will probably be the top NBA defensive team next year,does that register at all.What the Jazz need is more scoring and ball handling.Their getting close to competing deep in the playoffs in my mind if they stay healthy.

I can be sold on most Jazz moves but I'd be sooooo pissed with drafting Ullis at 12

Is he in the conversation? I haven't heard anything.... I think he slides on draft night. He's just so small. Wouldn't be upset if we got him in the second round.
 
I wonder if the Jazz will be able to get Furkhan in for a workout, the BSL season is ridiculously long and runs well into June.
 
What about Sabonis? He's an offensively gifted big, which would be a great complement to Favors and Gobert, who struggle offensively. And he plays really hard and physical, which is something we severely lack (Booker had to get guys excited).
 
Any chance we can get Thon Maker with #12? Thon is definitely who the Jazz need to pick. I was right last year and called it. Going for two years in a row, but also wouldn't mind Furkan Korkmaz.
 
For Revolution & NC Jazz (sorry if I got the names wrong) and anyone else who follows Euro-ball:

Any thoughts on Paul Zipser as a possible second-rounder? Seems to have poor-man's Harrison Barnes-type skills/potential, but I would have expected somewhat higher production at his age.

Efes looks like they are heading to the finals in the Turkish League so it would definitely be pretty close to draft time before we could get him in. Fener vs Efes should be a fun Turkish finals. He is playing a few minutes a game now, but not really enough for him to get into the flow of the game.

Yeah, just not sure of him as a NBA player. Right he is not like Furkan's age so he probably should be playing more. End of second round I would not mind though as long as we take Rade Zagorac before him though.

Looks like someone has already promised him. Before 12 though? That would seem a little high. For people who really watched him down the stretch he really started to show some pretty good shooting ability. Very good FT shooter so I think he could definitely be a guy who can step out and hit shots.
 
I think the Jazz are hoping to draft Skal Labissiere. Just a hunch. The guy's tools, polish and potential are legit. He didn't live up to expectations, but you can't realistically expect a skinny freshman to come in and dominate the SEC right away. He got it going a bit towards the end of the season. He's quicker, has better touch and has more sophisticated moves than Maker. He's probably a better help defender as well. I don't really think he'll fall to 12, but I think the Jazz would be all over him if he did.

Let me ask you a question and I honestly mean this. Are we trying to acquire the biggest collection of ******* (think bitches) the league has ever seen?
 
I just don't trust Skal's mental fortitude. He has the potential to be the best big in the draft, but I don't like his chances of ever reaching that potential. Some have compared him to Perry Jones III in this regard, but PJ3 was a god compared to Skal in college.
 
Guys, Cal got Cousins (a head case in the NBA) to keep his act together in college as a 18 or 19 year old or however old he is. He couldn't get Skal to compete. I mean, I've been harsh on Cal, but he's always been able to get his guys to compete. So when a guy doesn't compete for him, it's a pretty huge warning sign. Forget the freaking potential, look at how he plays! Watch the damn tape, not just the highlights.

I'll say it a little more plainly. Kinkkk may have a bigger set of balls than Skai. Scary, I know.

I'd be interested to see what his workout schedule is and if he's doing group workouts. He averaged 1.6 bpg in 15 minutes of game time (which is 4.3 per 40). He might've been chicken ****, but he wasn't as passive as PJ3.

He averaged 3 RPG. If that's not passive, I don't know what is.
