Following potential 2015 draftees

Love all the Hezonja love, really think he should be our target in this draft. Would obviously prefer Russell (especially because he can play both guard positions & Burks appears to be in our long-term plans), but Hezonja could end up being just as good offensively & projects as the better defender due to his size, length, & athleticism. Also think his attitude is something that would greatly benefit this team & fit perfectly with Gobert's swagger & Hayward's/Favors' lead by example style of leadership. Demeanor is one of the few questions I have about Exum, & feel Hezonja could help compensate for that (so long as it is something that can be controlled- which I don't foresee being a problem due to his apparent desire to win, especially under the watch of QS & tutelage of GH, DF, & RG).

His skill-set/mindset is something that this team is lacking, I just hope the FO decides to be proactive in acquiring him rather than hoping he slips to wherever we end up drafting (which is always possible, but not something that we should count on). Because he should test & interview well at the combine, I would be surprised if he dropped past #10 & could even see him going as high as #5 (although that is likely his best case scenario). I would definitely trade an asset or 2 along with our pick for him.

would you trade burke and swap picks with sactown and maybe take Thompson off their hands or give them a future pick?

sactown would get Burke and a lot off cap space this summer in addition just moving back a few spot.

jazz would almost get their pick of hezonja, Winslow or Johnson.

Of course, but Sacramento wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't mind packaging #12, 2017 first-rounder from OKC, and Burke to move up to potentially get the guy we want.

I didnt realize he was that type of shooter to be compared Klay Thompson. Is he really that wet from deep? You hear a lot of things leading up to draft time (dante will score at will, wiggins has no killer instinct) that turn out not to be true. I remember hezonja being compared to ginobili not too long ago. Is he dead eye? If so, im on board and believe hes a future all star.

See the vid. A streak-shooter can rattle off 3, 4 or maybe 5 makes in a row, imo. I don't think you can go 8/8 without being a real shooter.

Players in the NBA who can shoot 8/8 in a single game are like Hornacek, Glen Rice, Ray Allen, Curry, Klay, Korver or maybe Robert Horry on his absolute best day. These are real shooters. Maybe Hezonja won't shoot like those guys, but I think he's clearly the best shooter of the wing prospects this year.

He looks really good. Like the athleticism and the shooting. I think hell be a good player but who were they playing to be up 69 to 19? lol. How high will he go and how much will we have to give up to get him?
 
Having Exum, Mario, and Hayward would be super uber dope. Gonna have to get lucky or trade up doe.
 
Great all round dude. Here's him posing with some random fans & making their day.

We need at least one more wing. We only have three that are not a liability in one way or another. I would also love a big point forward like diaw or a versatile pf like draymond (hayes).
