Sounds like we have some really good looking stars coming up in the future.
Following potential 2012 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
If any thing though his motor and work ethic are his best attribute. He did openly complain about his team not trying hard enough during their 5 game skid, but that was 100% called for.
He did have a couple of really strange games though, which I blame on his teammates mostly.
Like the Alabama game where he played 40 minutes, but only took 3 shots.
He shoots 55% from the field, 45% from deep, and 78% from the line. All while averaging 11 rebounds per game.

Getting MUCH better, but is still not making me feel he'll ever be an elite pg in the NBA .. just a hunch, though.

The question at this point should be if the Jazz need an elite PG for the future. I would like to see one on the Jazz, but I have a feeling that withe the passing ability form Burks and Hayward that it is more important to have someone that can hit the open shot or get some easy baskets in transition.
Thoughts?
Just another opinion on Moultrie .. I wanted him at UK when he was transferring. I think he got poorly coached is a big issue. I'd take him high teens in a very strong draft. He's got enough skills, size, and athleticism .. I think he needs a good big man coach and he can be a very solid NBA player.
It cracks me up when players are 21 years old and people talk like they can't improve. Remember in the good old days most guys were 21 years old coming out of college. If the kid is 6'11" has a motor and work ethic along with great athleticism then sign me up. How is his BB IQ and his personality? Any red flags off the court?
I am not against taking another big man with our pick (if we keep it), that would allow the Jazz to trade AJ (heard he wants to get back to Boston per Tommy H.) to sure up another position like SF or PG. I don't know if I could handle the CT homerism but if he is going to be a beast then I am on board. Only kidding CT.

I don't know .. I like that situation better than having a below-average guy handling the ball every possession. Ideally, I would like an elite PG, obviously .. but if we can't get one, we need perimeter shooting and wings that can handle the ball.

Thanks for sharing. I know you've said a lot about D.Miller, but it's hard to go back and find things in this sprawling thread... so, can you project what kind of NBA player he is going to be? What about his defense? I think the draft express writeups on this kid are pretty poor.
thanks, as always.
His BB IQ is solid, and his personality and demeanor are very Millsap. Quiet, lead by example kind of guy. No off the court red flags.
What do you guys think of Tyshawn Taylor of Kansas as a 2nd-round pick?
Meh. He's a pg/chucker and has been suspended for off-court stuff each of his college years. Pass.
He is a SF. 6'7/6'8 235lbs.
50% 3pt shooter (after his first two weeks this season) ... excellent shooter/scorer.
Fantastic teammate/intangibles.
Excellent handles, good vision. (plays all 5 positions for UK)
Downside is he's too unselfish which adds an element of passive to his game. He's got a GREAT motor, but yields to his teammates too much.
Averaging 13pts per game in the NCAA tourney as the 6th man, behind MKG.
Sorry .. he is definitely a good defender. He can defend (at the college level) all 5 positions. He defends pg's and C's depending on matchups. He's the best athlete on the team and is hard-nosed .. the only reason he's not lottery is the desire to be THE man. He loves and embraces the glue-guy role. NO matter what anyone says to the contrary .. this is correct. I know the difference between what I 'know I know' and what I 'think I know.'
