Following potential 2014 draftees

Actually I think the Bobcats would be a great place for McDermott. They could really use a shooter. Their offense isn't that bad, they just don't have any shooters outside of Anthony Tolliver, who they play out of position at backup SF. If Tolliver can be a SF on the Bobcats and they are still a top 10 defensive team, I think they could play McDermott there.

So the question about McDermott is whether he can defend 3s or 4s better? Or should I say where does he hurt you least defensively?

Wherever the worst player is. IF you look at the Bobcats, they have MKG on the team, who can guard 3's or 4's. If McDermott is starting, you just give MKG the harder matchup at either position.

This and there really aren't too many 4s that he won't be able to guard.

David West, Aldridge, Griffin, are some off the top of my head that he has no chance of defending. However, most of the 4s in the game are less power and more finesse. Think about it. It seems like most 4s in the game are either undersized or basically 3s playing the 4.
 
Is Caris Levert a better long term prospect than Stauskas? At about 6'7" with a near 7' wingspan he could be a Jamal Crawford type player. His ball handling skills are pretty good for a 19 year old. His 3PT% has snuck up over 40%, and is a solid free throw shooter at 81%. Perhaps worth taking with our 2nd rounder if he declares.

I think the Jazz try to trade up with their picks. Probably can't do it, but maybe the #8 and #23 (if that's where the picks fall) to get the player at #5 or #6 that they really want. There is zero chance at trading into the top-3 and it likely costs too much to get to #4 or even #5. But you never know.
 
I agree that McDermott goes in the lottery. There's a serious shortage of 3 point shooters in the league(Not guys trying, but guys making them). The prolonged success of guys like Ryan Anderson, Kyle Korver really turns heads around of how to construct a healthy balanced roster. So he'll be in high demand as he can provide so much space for a pick and roll ball handler who's good at finishing.
 
Walter Tavares is probably going to move up to the 1st round hes 7'3, 265lbs with a wingspan of 7'9 only been playing basketball for 4½ years is coordinated and can run. im all for drafting him also an 80% free throw shooter

Gobert with weight? Better put him on the radar.
 
But does he play football?
No idea who this Gottlieb guy is, but here's his quote:

"In terms of reminding me of someone, I think he's closest to Matt Harpring, who averaged a solid 11 points and five boards over 11 NBA seasons. Harpring was tough as heck and contributed to a couple of Jazz teams that made deep playoff runs, but keep in mind that it took a year or two to find his role and adjust to the NBA.

McDermott is close with former Creighton star Kyle Korver, a guy who keeps working and who understands the role acceptance it takes to last for a decade in the NBA and be productive. Korver has been a starter for the past two years on playoff-caliber Atlanta Hawks teams.
