I hated Young when he was being mocked lottery (Cy was pimping) but I LOVE him in the 40s.

interesting... i really liked him during the college season, i like a few 2nd round guys i woudlent say i love him, but he reminds me of a 2nd rounder that didnt get drafted that i loved... Patrick Beverly

can i ask where u think Archie has fallen to? gotta say to me thats the saddest story leading up to this draft, i hope someone takes him in the 1st.. im not sure he fits the jazz better than Young though... Archie needs space and time to do his thing... Young is kind of the opposite, in my eyes, very straightfoward triple threat/fastbreak player

I'd rather be seen as that than someone who says "call me crazy for being less than thrilled that the Jazz might draft what would be arguably the smallest player in the NBA with their first pick" and everyone thinks I just said "LARKIN TOTALLY SUCKS AND WILL TOTALLY BUST. I KNOW THIS. WRITE IT IN STONE. ALSO, SIZE IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, DRAFT SARIC.".

I think Archie has slid into the early 2nd.

Yeah, I loved Beverly..
 
I wouldn't want Larkin at 14 but would be ok with him at 21 even though I think that is high. I would be ok with Glenn Rice Jr. at 21 too. Again this draft is going to be interesting simply because there isn't much difference between the players. This is a draft that I would like a lower first or early second. I would also consider Reggie Bullock at 21.

Excellent post.
 
best case scenario on larkin is a smaller Tinsley with elite athleticism, and more consistent 3point and midrange game. he is not an isaiah thomas meglomaniac, team first player. i like larkins chances wherever he lands, one of the best spots for him obviously is the jazz.
 
if you observe the whole body of Larkins work, he clearly plays UP to the competition, i bet hes working out like a maniac right now if his vertical is 44"

and hes a winner, no fear, plus he is not a look at me guy, his SG Durand Scott was the conferences leading scorer and took tons of ****s, larkin was efficent in the system so theres risk, but he really worked well with Kenny Kadji, i think the jazzhave him on the radar at 14, with good reason

how do you guys compare Larkin to the 2 PGs Lindsey was a part of drafting for the spurs

Patty Mills + Corey Joseph

i like joseph better but thats size+youth over polish, to me Larkin is clearly better than Mills, who i like

Pierre Jackson is the shortest player in this draft, Larkin is basically the same size as Ty Lawson, and I love how Lawson plays. The only thing I don't like about Lawson's size is he gets banged up a lot going against bigger guards.

Nate Robinson and Pierre Jackson are 5'9" or shorter.

Int'l players is not my thing.. but I've heard very little positive about either .. other than Giannis' potential. Based on very little.. I'd puy Giannie mid 20's and Saric early 2nd.

Bullock might be preferable. It's the whole "potential" thing with Giannis that has me still considering him. @21, of course.
 
also dont forget that larkin can stop on a dime and explode up for really quick floaters...

hes got that element of kemba in his game, but Larkin cannot get all the way to the rack like kemba

ill take Giannis over Bullock @21, whos to say how that kid plays out, he will fit in with our athletes here, and hopefully fall in line..

i do not think Reggie Bullock is the 2nd coming of Danny Green.

danny green is a boss, Bullock is a roleplayer

i just dont know why the jazz take a 6'5" SF on a 4 year contract, when Burks needs to find minutes, and plays SF better than SG. i like Burks as a latrell spreewell type of undersized 3 rather than some dynamo do it all 2(nervous midrange game)

i prefer we gamble on Mam Jaiteh, or Lucas Noguiera.

but im really almsot 100% sure my preferred pick at 21 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZBZwR6oREA DX has him at 25, in todays update

REMINDS ME OF J CROSSOVER

Wasn't suggesting the Jazz take him at 21.. was just saying I like him.
 
Bullock is 6'7" in shoes, can hit the 3, and play defense. Not a superstar to take over games but a smart role player. @21 that's pretty great. It's just a matter of deciding between vanilla ice cream (which is alright) and the mystery flavor (it's greek to me).
