I was watching some highlights and the dude looks like a baller for sure.

From the little I've seen, I like him more than lots of the guys projected to go ahead of him.
 
The board is pretty fluid between Nos. 5 and 12. Johnson could end up just as easily going fifth or sixth as he could 11th. Johnson was replaced by Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in the starting lineup on Sunday against Arizona State. However, by the start of the second half, Johnson was back with the first team. It appears that there have been some concerns about Johnson's defensive effort as well as a tendency for the ball to stop moving when he's on the floor. Those are minor issues overall and everyone expects Johnson to continue to play the alpha-dog role for Arizona. His shooting has been especially impressive this season; he's making 52 percent of his 2-point jumpers and 45 percent from 3. It's his percentage at the rim (just 48 percent) that has raised some eyebrows.
 
I think some of the details that have been mentioned, more recently about Johnson and Winslow, are sort of minutia. Let's put it in the simplest terms. Who just flat out looks like a great all-around Spurs-type basketball player? Length and athleticism are nice but we need a guy who has a handle, can shoot, pass, and play some d.

I think they both fit the criteria you just described, which is why there's a nit picky conversation about who is better.

I know I fit the mold but I don't want to lose any time with the wife and kids. Hopefully the Jazz find someone though.

Given those criteria, I like Hezonja. I think he's more like Manu than Johnson or Winslow.

I also still like Winslow a bit more than Johnson. I think Winslow is slightly quicker and more explosive.
 
Again, I'm biased.

The thing that separates them the most for me, is that I think Winslow operates better in s half court offense than Johnson does. I would be happy with either though.

I am liking hezonja a lot too. although I can see d Russ being a great fit too

Based on where I expect the Jazz to be picking, those are easily my two favorite prospects. I lean a little more towards Hezonja, but I'd love to have either of them. Super Mario is going to be a dynamic scorer and D Russ is more mature than I expected he would be at this point. Basically, I think either guy would be a great fit for the Jazz.
 
I would say Russel's weak side is on defense. I'm also not sure he's going to be strong enough or quick enough to get all the way to the rim in the pros. It looks to me as though he's patterning his game after Steph Curry. He has some of those same strengths and weaknesses.

Wow. I'm blown away.
This is the dude I want. Reminds me alot of deron williams.

What is his height and weight? Where is he being mocked to be drafted? Will the jazz even have a chance at getting him?

Would the jazz even draft him since they just barely drafted exum?
