Would you love it or hate it? State your preferences for the draft...

We are 1 week away from the draft and I think it's time for us to state who we will be happy with and who we'd hate to draft. That binary system is not ideal, so here are several more options:

-I'm ecstatic, absolutely love our pick
-Could be better, but I like it
-I don't hate it but... damn... really?
-I kinda do hate it, I hope DL knows what he's doing

The assumption, of course, is that we pick at 12. I think it's fair to assume that the following would be off the board and we'd love if any of them drops to us: KAT, Okafor, Russell, Porzingis, Mudiay, Hezonja, Winslow... if not, just include them in any of the other categories. Here's mine:

I'm ecstatic, absolutely love our pick:
Stanley Johnson
Myles Turner
Kelly Oubre

Could be better, but I like it:
Devin Booker
Frank Kaminsky
Bobby Portis

I don't hate it but... damn... really?
Sam Dekker
R.J. Hunter
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
Willie Cauley Stein
Kevon Looney

I kind of do hate it, I hope DL knows what he's doing
Jerian Grant
Trey Lyles
Cameron Payne
...

Your turn...

Can I buy a vowel?
 
Honestly not estatic about any pick we are looking at, but very happy/optimistic with most any of them.

Only pick I would be upset/not excited for would be Trey Lyles.
 
Thrilled:

Stanley Johnson
Kaminsky
Turner

Very Ok With:

Obure
Booker
WCS
Looney
Portis

Eh (just wouldn't quite understand the pick):

Payne
Grant (really any of the PGs)

Meh:

Lyles
Dekker

I might get as excited as did for Trey Burke if the Jazz somehow land Russel, Herzonja or Porzingas.

But seriously, I clapped, I cried for Trey. I booed and hissed for Hayward and I sai d" WHO!?" for Alec Burks so don't ask me.

Thrilled with Kaminsky, Booker, WCS.

Happy with Turner, Grant

Indifferent about S Johnson, Lyles, Dekker, Portis, Payne, Looney, Hunter, Oubre
 
There's absolutely no reason to be "ecstatic" over a #12 pick, unless you think DL can beat the 3% odds of drafting an all star in this slot.
Our options should be A.) content B. ) meh c. ) fire DL!

Of course, it's all relative to the position we are drafting at.
 
I'd be happy with any of those guys although I think WCS is a bit redundant to Favors and Gobert. His offense is worse than Favors' was as a rookie and he is 3 years older. Kaminsky and Turner bring a different dimension wit their shooting. If Jazz draft WCS, I think it might be to flip him for a young vet and later pick. Maybe deal with celtics?

I'm ecstatic, absolutely love our pick:
...if the Jazz trade up to 4 for Porzingis without giving away Favors somehow
...if the Jazz trade up to 7 or 8 for Hezonja
...if the Jazz trade up to 9 or 10 for Turner
...if Turner falls to 12 and we take him

Could be better, but I like it:
Oubre
Johnson
Booker
Portis
Looney

At 12 I'd absolutely love it if we drafted Towns or Russell. I'd kind of hate it if we drafted Guillermo Hernangomez.
