Why McCollum over Bongo? I am just wondering.

Why McCollum over Bongo? I am just wondering.

I'm not seeing anyone else. There are usually a couple draft and trades though, which could screw us over. For instance the Lakers might offer their pick this year and in 2015 to the team right above us so they can snatch Burke and groom him under Nash. That would be painful.
I went with McCollum because we needed 3pt shooting from our PG if we're going to have the "Dump the ball to Kanter/Favors Offense".
If Orlando picks Noel or McLemore or Shabazz instead of Smart, and Smart drops to the #7-#9 spot, I wonder if KOC will package our picks to get him.
He's big, strong, a fighter & a leader. Perfectly fits the bill as a Jazz type PG.

Jazz need to decide if they need a scoring point guard or a distributor. Burke (scorer) or MCW (distributor), Wolters (scorer), McCollum (scorer) or Bongo (distributor as well as scorer).

I think he would, KOC went to the OKST vs Kansas St. game a few weeks ago.
I think Burke & Wolters can do both pretty well?
He likes to watch a guy play at least once before picking him. But it doesn't mean he'll move up to get him though.

True, the ideal player in this draft for the Jazz is Smart. Burke might be there at #14 and if he is not the Jazz have to decide if Wolters is worth a pick in the late-teens to early-twenties. Bongo and McCollum are also choices for the GSW if the Jazz couldn't get Burke or MCW with their own pick.

Well, obviously I am not saying just because he watched him live means he will trade up for him. KOC is doing some extra scouting by watching prospects in the top-5 range just in case they fall or a oppurtunity to move up presents itself.
If it's: Burke + GRIII VS Smart, I'd take Burke + GRIII.

Where the CLUCK is Burke!?!?!!
Cluck, man.
I give this 9.0 Clucks out of 10
this was of the assumption Burke, smart and McW are gone.

I would take Smart actually.
It's the 4.3 assist to 3.3 TO that scares me. He's not a natural PG. Also he's only shooting 29% from college 3's... screams Tyreke to me (his shot never came right I don't think).

I am not sold on smart. Burke is my first pg pick in this draft.

besides if we wanted a tyreke type pg we could just sign him this offseason.

Tyreke is a good comparison for him, but Smart is more of a point guard. Anyway I think the Jazz could get a solid wing or big man with their lottery pick and get Wolters or Bongo with the GSW pick if it is in the early-20's.
Also Smart scores a lot of his points posting up smaller PGs in college, question whether he can do that in the NBA with bigger PGs and better help defense.

Wolters with the GSW pick.
