Official Thread: 2016 Draft JazzFanz Homer List

In some small ball line-up / match-up / situation, possibly, ... but not full time, no.
But OL thinks everyone can play sf.
Clearly you went to the school of terrible nicknames and had Professor One Love.
Surely he was teachers pet:)

Any how. I want to give it a try. Thon Maker heart breaker. Put it down OL!!!
I have another nickname for Korkmaz - Darth Vader:

Now I want both Thon and Korkmaz. Lol
 
Comparisons are a joke as it relates to any type of projection at the next level. The number of small scoring guards that would have compared with Curry coming out of Davidson, or Curry to them is staggering. Many of them out of the league after just a few years and Curry two time MVP.
Ya for me there is a difference between a comparison and a projection.
I think that if player A has many similarities to player B then they are comparable in how they play, their size, their age, their skills, hell even their skin color etc.

That does not mean that player A will be as good as player B. No one know how good a player will be. Many sure things and #1 picks have busted and many overlooked guys have become all stars.
 
Alright guys, *** BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND *** it's time to make this official list of who we love in the 2016 NBA Draft.

So how does this work?


- You pick who you "Love" as a player, irregardless of position and where they're projected to be picked.

- It's basically the guy you're proud to be a "homer" of and you think he/she will outperform his/her draft position.

- If your guy is picked really high in the draft, but crapped out, ala "Anthony Bennett" (No. 1 pick), "Derrick Williams" (No. 2 pick), then you would be "Shamed" forever and ever more.

- If your guy performed more or less at the same level as where he is picked, then it's "Meh".

- However, if your guy is picked low, like say Klay Thompson (No. 11) or Paul George (No. 10), but outperformed that particular pick, then you are "Glorified" forever and ever more here on JazzFanz and become a part of JazzFanz's prestigious folklore. (Honz is obviously in this category re Hayward)


====================================================================


So just indicate in the comment below what your pick is (1 player per poster only please) and I will update the following list. Doesn't matter if your player is taken, I'll group you guys together, no problem whatsoevaaaa.

NOTE:

- Also because the draft is coming up, you are allowed to change your pick immediately after the draft if you think your player will likely be adversely affected by the team that's drafted him... but the change must be made before the start of the first 2016 NBA Summer League game.

- If you would like me to change the 'nickname' of your player, please also let me know and I'll update it.

- If you want me to add a player not already listed below, also please let me know.


Let's Go!!!

Want to see OL set nicknames for posters. Lol
 
If Jakob falls to 12 than he's my guy, so I guess put my down for him and I'll let you know after the draft if he's taken earlier
 
Would just like to point out how bad the mods are that they dont sticky the Jazzfanz Mock Draft, but this gets stickied. For shame.
