i don't really see the Magic passing on Exum either, there's maybe a 2% chance Milwaukee could take him or trade down to 3 or 4 and grab him.
the only player i see with a chance of unseating Exum @4 is Vonleh, i guess they would take Ennis at 12 too, its not likely though, all of the mock drafts pretty much agree its Dante, and their asssistant GM was apparently 'one of the few' high level NBA execs watching Exum last year in Prague

Hear Phil Johnson on 1280 today? Seemed to be implying that a factor in choosing Hayward over Paul George was that George hadn't really led his team to anything.
It's not that bad a sample size in my opinion. Of course, it doesn't guarantee that he's going to be a great shooter by any means beyond the arc, but it's definitely a very good sign.
Didnt he also imply indiana would have taken Hayward if they had choice on draft day?

Lindsay said on 700 that he has been told that Indy was planning on taking Hayward if he dropped to them.

Shooting draft: Vonleh, Rodney Hood, PJ Hairston
in this scenario id hope the Jazz buy a late 2nd rounder for Jokic or Moussa Diagne to stash.
Burke/ Livingston/ Garrett
Burks/ Meeks/ Hairston
Hayward/Hood/ Honeycutt
Favors/ Vonleh/ Evans/
Kanter / Gobert/ (Jokic/Diagne)
without Jokic/Diagne they are sitting at 14... the average age of 23.5 doesn't make me think this is all too realistic though
Yes, but should we trust what Larry Bird said in private after the draft to a competitor? Maybe, maybe not.

You didn't answer the question. Would you have drafted Damian Lillard?

Also there were a couple high school tapes a couple pages back then where you can see more ballhandling. I like how low his dribble is, how tight to his body(Gordon really dribbles it away from the body -> easy to swipe)
You can also see how he is under control on these moves. His versatility that he can finish with either hand around the basket even lowers the requirement of ballhandling to be efficient as defenders have a harder time gambling and have to listen to the big where to funnel him. And even then with his monster wingspan I have a hard time that Center not named DeAndre Jordan can swat his hooks.

I look at more than sample size. And his release is consistent and mechanically sound. He releases it quicker than Bosh who has absolutely no problem shooting 3s. Wrote a couple pages ago:
If he completely stops dipping it low and starts the motion with the ball in front of his chest in a direct release he'll be very very smooth.
He has great hands. With Favors and Vonleh I'd want a lightning quick point guard from somewhere and run run run!
That's why I think they're not that into Marcus Smart.
What I like about Vonleh's shooting is the confidence with which he shoots. He doesn't hesitate, and he'll his dribble to set up a jumper. He's also comfortable taking a step back and shooting. All this says that he's confident, that he believes in his shot, and he shoots from distance opportunistically rather than only shoot when he's open. Then his percentages speak for themselves.

vonleh/McDermott in June. that is what I am hoping for right now.
make a serious offer to ariza
make a min offer to Jimmer
get Hayward for 10 to 11 per
Burke, Garrett, Jimmer
Hayward, burks
ariza, McDermott
kanter, vonleh, Evans
favors, Gobert
that is a team I could watch.
if vonleh matures quickly you look at shipping out one of the bigs

Draft is 5 deep guys, not 4. And we're sitting at #5 thanks to the coin flip. So Jazz DID get lucky!

McDermott will go 9-12. There's no way Jazz can get back into the lottery just by trading #23 and #35.

DL has traded every pick he has had for the Jazz, so we don't know what he has up his sleeve. But, if we stand pat at 5, I am all in for Vonleh.
I saw him play at least a half-dozen times on ESPN and I was not impressed because his game didn't seemed developed. However, the guy has great measureables, huge hands, has a handle, and a three-point shot.
I would take him any day over Smart, Randal, or Gordon. He is going to take some patience to develop, and I don't expect a ton from him next year. He could be huge a few years from now.

From a draft blogger who has changed his mind about Aaron Gordon:

I never said what they would trade. they could give up one of the picks in 2017 or even next years pick.
