Following potential 2015 draftees

[orangello]

I see potential in him, but there is a long, tough road in between him realizing that potential right now.

Didn't people say the same thing about Rudy...........?

 

[orangello]

<---- not worried about Exum

The voice of reason.................. scary.

 

[orangello]

Gun to your head... Gobert or Russell?

Stifle.

 

[orangello]

I think russell will be Steph curry.

I would do whatever it takes to get him

And what if he doesn't turn into Curry?

 

[orangello]

Not totally against drafting him, but we did just draft Hood for such purposes. I think with our Booker being a free agent after next season a good shooting big man should be highly considered. There may very well be one available when we draft and it should be said he is a very good inside player as well.

I'd take Booker over Hood.


Unpopular, I know.

 

[orangello]

After tonight's win + Hood's progression off the bench + Burks coming back next year, I'm squarely on the camp of drafting WCS as our 3rd/4th big.


We need a quality defensive big on a cheap contract if we're gonna contend, and WCS has that potential.

Off one game. Good to know.

PKM, er Dr. Jones, what do you think of Alec Peters out of Valpo? NBA stretch PF material?

I haven't watched him.

 

[orangello]

I'm fine with this BUT only as plan B. We should go after Tomic hardcore. Pretty much its now or never attitude. Sell him on being apart of a Big 3 rotation with us,
and while not starting playing a big role. Why do I want Tomic so much? He's a vet, will up our talent level, is a team player, and is a GREAT insurance policy if Gobert or Favors have an injury.

If Tomic passes Im fine with taking a hard look at the FAs available and in the draft. The Tomic option makes us a serious player next year to actually win some playoff games imo.
So we have to shoot for the stars.

I heard somewhere that Quin loves him.

Philly has plenty of bigs. Let's trade and pick up Towns.
The end.

We give philly Hood and our pick plus a billion dollars cash.

Is shutting down the opponent's PG important to winning? If so then Exum is your guy. We saw how he shut down Tony Parker and Mike Conley, and really messed with their offense. Add Gobert's rim protection and you've got x2 of your most important defensive positions in basketball covered. That lethal combination of speed, quickness and length is hard to beat.


.... and he's still only 19.

I believe that the great Calipari once employed a strategy of shutting/slowing down the opposing PG. It seemed to work well. I believe they won a NC.

Am I misremembering PKM, I mean Dr Jones?

I think you are joking but in case you are not - Hinkie shook down Orlando to move from 12 to 10 and took extra first rounder and a second rounder. Why do you think he'd let us have a top3 pick for Hood and pick No. ~10?

 

[fishonjazz]

And what if he doesn't turn into Curry?

What if he does?

I don't think Greg has pkm money

 

[orangello]

Hard to believe this thread is already going on two years old.

Tyus Jones is an interesting name.

Destiny. Don't **** with it.

Great college player, but not sure he's a great pro prospect.

 

[orangello]

Im beginning to think we trade the pick. Just listened to Bolerjack say we might be big players in grabbing a vet to speed up the process. Historically it seems like the play by play guys get pretty good access to the front office so i wouldnt doubt thats what we do.

Like who?

Also, BJ can't even tell the difference between a midrange shot and a 3pt shot. You really think Jazz management will give him important information about their future?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Towns, as a freshman, is both defending the ball screen and protecting the rim,at an elite level.
Using both hands to finish in the post, hitting his FT's, and baselines... Will quickly add a 3 shot when he has opportunity to shoot more.

 

[orangello]

What if he does?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first....................answer that is.
