Here's an interesting question - would you trade #12 for 2017 Hornets unprotected pick? I think I would.

Yes.

They have Batum and Lee as FA's. Anyone else? Plus the Bulls, Wiz and Bucks could pass them this year. I see that as a top 18 pick.

No. Nicolas Batum, Courtney Lee, Jeremy Lin, Marvin Williams and Al Jefferson are all free agents, I think they'll manage to keep some of them. Plus, they still have Kemba Walker and (if he can get healthy) MKG, Frank Kaminsky, Cody Zellar and a decent coach. I think they're still an ascending team that will make the playoffs.

If the Jazz wanted a great pick in 2017, they should have traded with the Kings like the Sixers did (and then flipped Stauskus before everybody realized he sucks.)

I'd rather keep 12 than gamble that a team like the Hornets takes a big step back.

I need to wait until the last second this time. In 2014 I picked Payton when he was mocked at 30 and he ended up going 9th and made me look worse lol. This is a really hard year to pick a prospect I really like though... I'll say Luwawu for now since he's been my guy for a while, but I've cooled off on him a bit.

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!!!

I'm changing again from Korkmaz to Beasley.
 
Alright guys - now that the top #30 is done, anyone wanted to change their picks?


I'm seriously considering changing mine to Dejounte Murray after the Spurs picked him at #29.

I was not a big Dejounte fan before the draft, but you couldn't have picked a better landing spot for a guy who had his type of struggles in college.

They are going to force him to learn how to play defense and shoot. It will take some time but the Spurs can afford that luxury.

Since Jakob didn't fall as much as expected I'm changing my pick to Dejounte

Yup good move... done.
 
Since Skal was given the kiss of death by being selected by the worst franchise in NBA history, I have to choose somebody else and this somebody else will be Jaylen Brown.

Ok, a brave pick, I like it. Plus he'll be coached by Brad Stevens which is even better.
