Following potential 2015 draftees

Kelly Oubre having a really disappointing start to his year. If this keeps up he may stay in College for another year.
 
I just really want Stanley Johnson to be on the Jazz next season. That would make me very happy.

Hopefully, Oubre can get things figured out a little. I'm sure that he will. After my extensive preseason scouting of him (aka a couple of highlight vids), I wasn't as high on him as most people. I think he'll be a hella safe pick doe, just don't see any star potential in him. I think if he had either a bit more athleticism or a bit more BBIQ he could potentially be a star. As he is, I think his ceiling an Arron Afflalo-esque career trajectory, and I think his floor is quite high also.

Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be wrong even though I did hours of scouting on him. I only put these things so that they can be bumped to make me look stupid in the future.

I would like this future

exum, Burke
Hayward, burks
Johnson, hood
favors, booker
Gobert
 
Michael Qualls could be a 3&D player.

Youtube "Mike Qualls Highlights-Thresh Productions" and watch. Extreme above the rim athlete who plays defense (a near 7' wingspan) and has added a reliable 3pt jumper (shooting 47% so far on 4 attempts per game).

PKM knows him well.

Exerpt from Arkansas latest game:

English made 6 of 8 field-goal attempts in the first half and scored 19 points before halftime. Arkansas made a halftime defensive adjustment to put Qualls on the guard and he didn't attempt a field goal for more than 12 minutes to begin the second half.

Guy has lock-down potential defense.

Arkansas plays DUIclones on Thursday, should be a good game.
 
Am I the only one excited about the possibility of an Mudiay & Exum backcourt?????

Just as excited as I would be about having Josh Smith playing Small Forward for my team.

This guy definitely isn't a black hole, look at the video, he has good passing instinct and has been racking up assists in the chinese league.

Oh Josh Smith is a good passer and playmaker on the move for his true position.

Yes, Smith should play in the high post mostly.

Mudiay playing the 1 or 2 doesn't change the fact that he is on the perimeter.

Terrible comparison.

Both players have a horrible shot selection and overestimate their shooting ability.
I don't like these Detroit style spacing catastrophe propositions that are thrown around...

Dude is shooting 49% in a professional league with that horrible shot selection. I can't comment on the talent level of the league, but he is balling. 32% from 3 isn't great, but it's not bad for a guy who isn't considered a shooter. A bit to early in his career to make wild judgements about his shot selection.
 
Becoming increasingly evident that Frank Kaminsky is just too skilled offensively not to be a top-20 pick with the way NBA teams play now.

Any thoughts on Kaminsky? I think he could be a pretty good NBA player, kind of like a less naturally gifted Pau Gasol with more range on his jumper.

I'm sorry but I've got to put my foot down on this, we need athletic players who can defend their position as the bare minimum. Kaminsky doesn't seem to have elite size or overly athletic.
