Following potential 2015 draftees

I like Exum better than pretty much anyone in this draft, but I'm a homer and I really like Exum. Work ethic is nearly always the most important tool for anyone regardless of the profession. I think Exum will prove to have a superior work ethic.
 
In regard to the Russell/Curry comparison, somebody mentioned Curry is a once in a decade shooter. It's true and a very good point. Russell isn't the shooter Curry is and may never be. However, Russell might be a once in a decade passer and he's bigger than Curry. He has Jason Kidd-like feel for the game and passing ability. Add to that he is a very good shooter, and just as important, with his quick lefty release, can get his shot just about whenever he wants. He may also have a little James Harden in him in terms of his ability to get to the basket and both finish and draw fouls. Such a sexy prospect.

Once in a decade passer?! I'm sorry, but I just can't agree with that. I mean, Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, I mean even Kendal Marshall would be better passers. Russell is a flashy passer, and he has good vision, but I don't think he's a generational talent when it comes to passing. He's still a very good player though! I think a weaker Harden would be his ceiling, and that would be an awesome player to have!
 
Exum is already locking down guys like Tony Parker and Mike Conley! He had a few plays on Conley that were absolutely incredible, that maybe 1 or 2 other guys in the league could do. He's an exceptional defender. He's going to be a top 5 PG in 3 years IMO!
 
So Chad Ford apparently thinks Malik Pope is a potential late-lottery pick. I know nothing about him. He's a 6'10" long, rail-thin leaper who can apparently shoot a bit.

Anyone heard of him?

Chad'a reaching. UK recruited Malik a little bit a couple years ago, so yeah, I followed him a bit.
I don't see first round much less lottery.

Dude is a bean pole.
 
I'm not optimistic about the Brooklyn Nets getting above us in the standings. We need Boston to play well in order for us to end up 10th.
 
Who was it that suggested trading Exum to move up? Was it Fish? I need to try and keep my nut-punching list up to date, just in case Jason decides to start having Jazzfanz night out again.
 
Those guys aren't really comparable players IMO. And it's still too early to tell on Stauskas, sucks he plays for such a crappy team.

I'm not saying they are, I'm just interested to know what Booker's like defensively. I don't want a shooter who can't defend is all I'm saying.

If you ever have a question like, "Who is on the list of stupid people that suggested __________?" Well, then, Hack is on that list. FYI
