Following potential 2013 draftees

I've been reading more player profiles and watching more videos on 2013 prospects, and I have to say, I think the lottery could be very full of talent. I thought I'd get this conversation going again by posting my very early mock/big board:

1. Shabazz Muhammad
2. Nerlens Noel
3. Cody Zeller
4. Alex Poythress
5. James McAdoo
6. Isaiah Austin
7. Rudy Gobert
8. Steven Adams
9. Archie Goodwin
10. Anthony Bennett
11. Adonis Thomas
12. Kyle Anderson
13. Myck Kabongo
14. B.J. Young
 
Better sticky this. After watching Kanter & Burks play game one in the summer league I'm pretty sure the Jazz will have atleast one lottery pick in 2013.
 
If we move Millsap, I want poythress. I think he would be a good replacement for him. Someone that I think could be a sleeper is Tony Mitchell. That is based on pure potential. He was playing in a rather weak conference, but his numbers were pretty impressive. Surprisingly had a pretty decent 3pt% this last year. He is athletic and can do alot, has really good size. Andre Robinson is another guy I think would fit well.

I'm not sure how I feel about Ryan Harrow. He has a nice handle, but we run a pretty particular half court set, based off flex cuts, and pick and rolls. I don't think Harrow would do well in that role. Maybe he could have a Louis Williams type game off the bench, but I don't think that would work in our system.

Myck Kabongo already runs the flex in Texas, so I think he would be a better fit than Harrow.
 
I like Poythress, quite a lot. Tony Mitchell .. I think I could have you 2nd guessing yourself in 3 minutes.

Harrow and Kabongo a tossup right now, imo.

Mitchell provides defense and rebounding... Which I know is cliche to say this but, defense wins championships. He is big, already has an NBA body. I think he will surprise you with his skills.
 
Almost shot 2 3's a game and shot 44% from 3. Averaged 3 blocks, 10 Boards. Plus the sky is the limit for him. As it always is with guys that are as athletic as him, and have really complete bodies at a young age.

Bro, you can jump on the TM bandwagon with me...but don't think you're taking the reins. I've got 'em and I'm not letting them go.

He has ELITE athleticism. You can't teach that. Add on top of that an aggressive, defensive-minded mentality, the fact that he can board and the fact that pretty much all of his frosh numbers look very solid and I think he could be a helluva player. I know he's in a ****ty conference but the guy, who was likely the focal point of opposing defenses, still had sick numbers all around. 14.7 points on 56.7%, 73.9%, 43.9%, 10.3 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals...What's not to like? We don't need a 25 point a game guy necessarily. We need stellar defense and a guy who can hit the open 3. We need a nastiness to our team that NO ONE on our current core even remotely brings. And based on what I've read, I see no reason he's not the guy for the job.
 
On the Trey Burke bandwagon. Always have been, and I aint ashamed of it. Hoping the Jazz can somehow snag the dude.
