Following potential 2014 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

NAOS' gut has spoken.

One of my favorite players:

At this point I'd say Calderon with better D and less shooting.

So how do we feel about this line up?

Burke - Exum - Hayward - Kanter - Favors

Good enough starting 5 to win it all?

I like having three elite ball handlers and playmakers. It would probably depend on Exum's ability to hit the NBA three.

Chances we have another lottery pick in 2015? I'd say pretty high...

Also a big fan of Johnson. He has been a lean to AZ for a couple months now.. I do think he was a near lock to UK about 4 or 5 months ago.
This recruiting class has been the weirdest I've ever seen. More pkg deals, decommits, recommits, kids picking up one hat (as a joke) just to set it down and pick up another... I've not enjoyed this particular recruiting class.

I am shocked SHOCKED if Okafor has longer arms than Davis... that said, Duke is gonna be tough as **** with Jones and OKafor.

That gives him great defensive potential. Only player I've ever seen with longer arms would be Rudy Gobert.

Drummmond's wingspan is also 7'6.

I'll obviously trust the empirical data but it doesn't pass the look test. I guess Davis' far superior athleticism make him seem longer.

How about this guy's wingspan

Not sure about that. Assuming we have to pay Gordon about 12 million a year, the Jazz are going to have to add around 15-16 million in payroll to just meet the minimum. That's enough to get 2 really good bench players well above Marvin Williams and Richard Jefferson's level.

I guess it's maybe because he's more wiry. Narrow shoulders say he's got great arm length. But then his standing reach is 3 inches smaller than Okafor's. So maybe Okafor's shoulder are a little higher or his head smaller - as you wanna look at it

 

[Dr. Jones]

MIller's will be afraid of a two year tank.. we'll be good next year. Not because of the Miller's desire to win, but the strategy of Lindsey to be good quickly following a tank year.

Davis is not narrow shouldered at all... wide in fact.

I've said this before, but Jahlil Okafor's game is similar to Tim Duncan's game.

If that's the case the Jazz should tank again next year.

 

[Jazz4ever]

PKM where do you rate Okafor among Wiggins, Parker, and Randle as overall potential?

He already had 9 blocks the other night. Man I'd like to see that guy standing next to Yao

 

[Dr. Jones]

I disagree. He's more bruiser than Duncan. I see why you're saying what you're saying... and I do get it.

Not overly athletic, fantastic post moves, great bbIQ...

nevermind, I'm seeing it more than I was a few seconds ago.. lol

 

[Hantlers]

I'm not PKM, but this is how I would put it.

Wiggins
Okafor
Parker
Randle

But they're all very close.

4th. Calipari has raved about Okafor and has said he thinks he could be a transcendental PF/C talent... but I haven't seen it yet.

If he were in this draft class I'd put him around #5.

Haha, like I said...it's similar, but not exactly the same.
