Following potential 2015 draftees

Porzingis dropped to #6 on the latest DX's mock?


That's VERY interesting.

If Orlando has been bluffing about taking Porz this whole time, that's hilarious. I can see the Knicks taking Mario though, Or Manny, Porz is in play too. I think those are the 3 Phil's whittled it down to.
 
Since the Jazz's supposed main priority is a stretch 4, I'm all on the Kaminsky bandwagon. I honestly think that our roster is pretty set; just let it grow together. Unfortunately, I have a business conference which starts at 5:30 and won't get back until about midway through the draft. Thank you, DVR.

Kaminsky's really a stretch 5... unless he can move those feet and guard quicker 4's in today's NBA.
 
The Jazz do like Myles Turner, and have fewer questions about him than nearly any other prospect, due to his tie with ASM Sports, and the fact they've interviewed him three times now: once at the Combine, once at the ASM Sports Vegas workout, and once when he came to Utah for a workout. The worry with Turner is whether or not his upside is as high as some said it was coming out of high school, along with some positional worries about where he fits in today's NBA.

what do yas make of this? Turner's 19, 9'4" reach, shoots it well. I don't recall something like that being written about many (successful?) 1-and-done lottery players.

I do recall people saying he had the most upside of anyone in the entire class tho.
 
Sucks what happened to Looney, The first time I saw him play I thought "he looks like a lottery pick" and now its off the table. I hope he doesn't get Perry Jones'ed tonight.
 
Let the Woj bombs begin. I guess Jeremy Lamb wasn't traded from OKC.

@WojYahooNBA 29m29 minutes ago
Memphis has agreed to trade Luke Ridnour to Charlotte for Matt Barnes, league sources tell Yahoo.
 
@ESPNSteinLine
To that end also hearing that the Rockets are likely to try to trade Terrence Jones as part of today's draft proceedings

Yeah, indeed. NBA doctors think his hip injury is a lot more serious than it seems. 6 months recovery if injury is worked on. For that reason, it will make him slide I think. But who knows.. someone might still gamble on him in the mid-teens.
 
Who are your guesses to have potentially biggest slides tonight?

WCS
Looney
Booker
Lyles
Oubre
??


I doubt Johnson could fall past 10.

Oubre's and Willie's fall seem imminent. I dont see how Kelly could drop past 20.

If WCS is damaged goods, IDK where he could go or how to really to decipher it. I'll say now looking back, it seems like some of the praise he's received around the league late in this process could've been veiled well-wishes, like they know he's got medical issues and are either trying to bluff other teams into taking him or doing him a solid PR job for when he falls.
 
With the 12th pick in the NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz select - Jong-Hyun Lee from Korea University. The Phoenix Suns are now on the clock

There continue to be rumblings about how the Jazz want to — and can — re-acquire Paul Millsap and might trade Derrick Favors, per my source.

Boooooo
 
It is Christmas morning...

The Jazz are looking to trade Trey Burke and would likely include him in a draft day deal, according to a source.
