Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts

Sorry if this has been mentioned but Sundays workouts should be interesting for the Jazz, Singleton, T. Harris, Hamilton, Honeycutt, Marcus Morris, and Paul Carter.
 
Tobias Harris seems like a kind of player the Jazz would fall in love with. Very diverse skill set offensively.
 
I hope they at least bring Brooks in for a workout. He, Singleton, Burks and Hamilton would be a good group to have in at the same time, IMO.
 
Once upon a time, about a week ago TheHoopsreport had Brooks listed as coming in in the 20th, now it just shows Alec Burcs and Kawai Leonard.

Has anyone heard how the Jazz are going to be in SLC doing workouts on Sunday and be in Washington for a workout with Jan Vesey?

Its fathers day and these guys all have families. Sometimes wethink that we could do their job, but this time of year they can keep it.

Hamilton by a mile. I think you have to question what Morris can even do in this league (lack of size or athleticism, also will be without his creepy twin relationship), and I think you have to question what Singleton brings besides playing defense. For his size and athleticism, he's a poor finisher, he shoots 3s rarely and made them at only an okay rate in the NCAA, he's not a great passer, doesn't handle the ball, and his blocks are certain to go down since he'll be primarily a 3 (not a 4 like he was frequently). Maybe he rebounds too. Call me crazy, but I want more from 12 than Corey Brewer (thanks billyshelby).

Conversely, Hamilton might end up being a fairly well-rounded player that will likely be able to score.

This. Hamilton can shoot the ball and has the athleticism for substantial upside. Tighten up his dribble and TEACH him to defend and he can become a very good pro. I think the other two simply have more limited ceilings ... and don't shoot it as well, right now.
 
It might not be a good idea for the Jazz to target a SF at all given next years crop. Harrison Barnes, Michael Gilchrist, Perry Jones, Quincy Miller, and even Terrence Jones blow away anything that will be their at 12 this year. Unless the Jazz make the playoffs, they should be in the drivers seat to draft one of these guys.

we need more than one wing. maybe more than two. disagree? how does this change your opinion? would it be a problem if this year's wing was serviceable and next year's better than him? you are aware that it is rare for any wing to contribute much in his first year, right?

Well I was speaking strictly of the SF's like Singleton, Harris, Hamilton, and maybe Morris. I don't think they will even be as good as an early 30's AK.....ever, so would prefer just to resign him until picking an elite SF in 2012. If you want to include all wings I would not hesitate on Burks at all if he's on the board. He has a good enough handle to even play backup PG. A little iffy on Brooks and Thompson though.

i think you've misjudged Hamilton if you're including him with those other names. BTW, at this stage in their careers, I have very little doubt that he is a better prospect than Burks.
 
I'm with Jazz4ever on this. Don't draft a wing this year. Spend the pick on either Donatas, Biyombo, or Fredette. Or if someone else falls like Valanciunas take him. Take any one of these guys before Singleton. And Marcus Morris is too iffy at the 3.
Hamilton might be worth considering though I guess.
 
I know the mock drafts have Montiejunas projected in the late teens or #20, but I don't see how the Rockets can pass on him if he's there at #14.
 
I like Motiejunas. He seems like he could at least be as good as Bargani, which at 12 is a pretty good pick.
 
I think Montiejunas compares favorably to Greg Monroe, whom everyone agreed was a top 10 pick last year. Monti is taller, he's more mobile, he's an equally good passer, and he has more talent offensively. He's just not as heavy.
