Don't feel like reading this thread at all, but have any big names scheduled workouts with us so far?
Official Player Workouts for the Utah Jazz
- Thread starter Doublea
- Start date
Due to concerns about his back, Embiid drops like Noel did last year. He miraculously is there at 5, do you swing for the fences and take him despite the back concern?
Wiggins
Parker
Exum- he could go forth to Orlando and Smart 3rd.
Smart
Embiid - jazz trade Kanter or Favors to get another top pick to draft either Gordon or Saric. Now that is swinging for the fences.
So if you keep Favors then you draft Saric - will need his shooting. I don't know if he can play the SF so if he can't then you have to take Gordon. I just like Saric a lot.
If you keep Kanter then you draft Gordon. - Kanter will be our stretch four and a low post PF. He plays his true position. Gordon is needed to help with defense but the Jazz need Kanter more because his outside shooting is better than Favors.
Having Favors, Gordon and Embiid would be a terrifying defensive combo but our offense would really struggle unless Gordon and Embiid develop their offensive games. Right now they are raw and it is a concern.
Burke
Hayward
Saric
Favors
Embiid
or
Burke
Hayward
Gordon
Kanter
Embiid
Bench - Burks, Gobert, Neto use the #35 and #23 to move up and grab a shooter or draft the best SF/shooter at #23 and #35 BPA regardless of position. Fill in with FAs. Ok I officially need to get a life.

Draft Insider actually has Embiid dropping to the Celtics at pick 6.
Clearly a Celtics fan writer hoping.

There are no guarantees in this draft, to some degree every player could be a bust.

Isn't every draft like that?

Neither is getting Parker but that doesn't stop people from making threads and discussing the possibilities even though they have no or little chance of happening.
Yea, I think you are misreading my post. I was responding to another poster stating that a specific player can be a bust.

Most drafts yes..... but not every draft.
Lebron was a guaranteed, cant miss player. Zero bust potential
Players like that only come around once every 20 years though

Sir, do you have any sort of connection to the Lattimer massacre?

Cooley played with Houston and Memphis in the summer leagues and had some training camp invites but chose to sign a more lucrative deal with a Turkish team instead.

Same was said about Ralph Sampson and Len Bias (to perhaps a lesser degree than LeBron).
Bad example, he died. We do not know if he would have been amazing or a bust.
