PJ3 @7
Lillard @13
Miller @14
Rivers @16
Sounds about like what most of us have been feeling/saying for the last month or so.
Again, if the Jazz can land two picks (from 10 to 16) my top two choices are Miller followed by Rivers.
I see no way we get a pick past 14 (in the first round, obviously) ... unless we trade down. If we have two picks, I'd say we get #8/9 and #12-14. And, yes, BSFA with the first and BPA with the second.
I thought that GS might get hot and go on a huge winning streak.
Is Beal really a better prospect than Rivers? I haven't seen Beal play very much. DX has Beal at 10 and Rivers at 16.
If Curry can actually stay healthy they should stay out of the bottom 7.
Totally agree. Chances of Curry staying healthy, though?

Me too.Sorry that I am late to this party. This is how I feel about this list:
Possibly....Not to high.....If he falls.....Yes....Kill me now.....Kill me again.....I'm already dead....Yes
That about sums it up for me.
Perry Jones is killing it right now 12 pts 5 boards in the first 10 minutes against k state. I like him a lot, a bit of an underachiever but he has always played with chuckers who have no interest in getting him the ball.
2) Can he really play SF in the NBA? I think no.
Tangent: Perimeter (ball-handling and/or stretch) 4s are better to have than giant 3s. What is a player like PJIII (or AK) supposed to do with that height/length advantage if they don't have a post game and if they can't necessarily beat their guy off the dribble? I'm not saying it's not AN advantage, but comparing that to the advantage of forcing bigs to guard on the perimeter (they usually can't, and that opens up the lane for the rest of the offense)? Give me that guy as a 4, please.
Unfortunately for Jones, that means he'd have to guard other 4s, protect the paint, and rebound. All things that he could, but doesn't, and won't do.

Can PJ3 play sf for the Jazz, or is he strictly a pf?
You are a little late to this party. He would be more of a stretch PF.
