Listening to the Locke/Chad Ford podcast. They are saying Jabari is Glenn Robinson.

That's a really lazy comparison on their part. Jabari carries some baby fat but Big Dog was just lazy. Nobody's ever said that about Parker. He'll have to work on his body and his defense but he's a solid, coachable guy who wants to be the best. He'll tap out his potential unlike GR ever did.

Vonleh is a great prospect.. but the Jazz are not in need of any more soft candy-*** pansies.

This.

If we draft Vonleh, I'll eventually talk myself into his upside. But my initial reaction will be that we just drafted someone without fire... at a position we don't need.
 
I've been saying it during this entire pre-draft period, but just more reasons why I wouldn't touch Exum at #5...

A Western Conference scout recalled watching Exum face Schroder, a German point guard who was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks last year.

“Let me tell you, Dennis Schroder kicked the [expletive] out of him in every one-on-one drill,” the scout said. “It was sad, because here was this young, gangly kid, and Schroder was tying him into knots.”

The Western Conference scout called Exum a “very good prospect” but stopped short of saying he was anything more.

“Again, is he not a tremendous prospect? I’m not going to say that,” the scout said. “Is he a potential All-Star? I don’t know. Is he someone who if I was drafting, and I haven’t seen him play other than a one-on-zero workout, would I consider drafting him top five? No [expletive] way.

“I saw him play every conceivable level of basketball. He’s not a point guard. Just because you can dribble in a straight line and dunk doesn’t make you a point guard.”

But it could also be a smokescreen. If this scout has seen him play at every conceivable level of basketball and watched him against Schroeder, I wonder if it's none other than our very own international scout, Rich Sheubrooks, who is charge of assembling the international team for the Nike Hoops Summit. Sheubrooks has been an international scout for some 13 years (Memphis and Charlotte before the Jazz snagged him).

Certainly a possibility.
