One Possible Draftee Likely Done

[Archie Moses]

I never thought the Jazz would draft him, but looks like he's gonna pull out. I don't see this shaking things up for the Jazz, but I know there were some that wanted to draft him, and others that dreaded that he was even there.

Lithuanian forward Donatas Motiejunas will likely pull his name from the draft before the June 15 deadline for international players under 22 to withdraw.

Motiejunas was looking to get a guarantee from a top-12 team, but hasn't received one.

A source close to the forward put the chances of his withdrawal at "90-10."

His stock was falling heavily, down to the mid to late teens, so it's not really something that really affects the Jazz.

Always smart to play it safe and pull out.

Good one.

He won't do any better next year. Teams are done gambling for the next Dirk.

He is going to be a much better NBA player than anybody the Jazz are going to draft this year; @ 9, I would give him the promise he wants.

he is white.

Motiejunas makes Okur look like Bill Russell. Just what Utah doesn't need - another 7'0" standing behind the 3-pt arc on offense and bailinbg out on the defensive end.

Still, though, I was hoping a team like GS might step in and darft him, which would push another big down the board.

Is that he "Oh face"?
