Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
That Euro dude y'all be talking about is having a good game right now.
I think it's pretty telling that coach Self trusts a 17 1/2 year old Ukrainian who just moved this summer and is with a pretty good likelihood still adapting to culture and language besides basketball to play more minutes minutes than two top5 highschool recruits, namely the 19 year old Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre who turns 19 in two weeks.
Not saying they are weak or untalented or anything and I know that disciplinary reasons could be involved in their limited playing time. Just wanted to point out that currently Svi is more established in Kansas rotation.

Only a matter of time until Booker is in the starting lineup in place of those scrub Harrison twins.
Remember when Xthren/Gamer/Whoever he is now said he would give his left nut for Darius Miller?
Darius Miller effing blows.
Tainted goods.
Also remember when PKM said he was the most athletic UK player.

Booker deserves a better team.
Who's available in the 5-9 range that could be a Star ??? I get a feeling we'll finish in that range.
If you take a look at the latest batch of young wing "stars" a lot of them have been late lottery or later drafts picks.
Gordon Hayward (9th)
Klay Thompson (11th)
Jimmy Butler (2nd round)
Paul George (10th)
Chandler Parsons (2nd round)
Demar Derozan (9th)
Kahwi Leonard (15th)
Bradley Beal is the only recent guy to be a top pick who seems destined for All-Star games.

That's true. The 6 - 10 range seems to be a good place to get wings. Teams usually push for bigs and PGs at the top of the draft. Tmac was a #8 pick. Kobe a #13, I think. Rudy Gay was a #8 pick. Steph Curry dropped to #7, though he's a PG now.
If the Jazz are picking in the 7 - 10 range, they should get a good player.
I was totally unimpressed in the first couple of games I've seen from Okafor and Towns this year. Okafor is quite possibly as big of a liability in D as Enes is, but his offense is great and he can actually pass out of the post - something that was supposed to be a weakness(maybe still is and the few games I saw were an anomaly). Towns offense has been lacking, but he flashed some potential in D. I haven't seen Mydiay play professionally.
Right now, at this point with the little information I have, if we got lucky I'd probably try to package that pick and trade it for an all-star type of player. If I had to make the choice, I'd probably choose Towns...

Don't over-think and just pick the guy that has the greatest physical impact on the game. I know little about Mudiay, but unless he's on his own tier as a player, I wouldn't reach for a PG at the top of the draft, especially with Exum already here. There are some really good All Star-caliber players in the second tier--Hezonjia, Winslow, Johnson--if we were trading back for some reason.
