What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Hypothetical situation:

The Jazz sign only scrubs in the offseason, the C4 develop like crazy next year, but our record sucks and we get the 3rd pick in the draft.

Wiggins goes #1, Randle #2. Who would you want the Jazz to take at this point?

btw, this is basically everyones dream for next year right?

Go with the Core 4 and if we suck, we suck.

Will never happen, unfortunately.

Btw, at this point it obviously seems like a Jabari Parker vs Andrew Harrison debate. I'd have such a hard time choosing, if I had to.
 
For what it's worth (and to help put things in perspective), here are some general comparisons on the top guys that I've read:

Andrew Wiggins - Michael Jordan
Julius Randle - Chris Webber
Jabari Parker - Paul Pierce
Andrew Harrison - Jason Kidd/Deron Williams
Aaron Gordon - Blake Griffin

God, I want a pick in this draft so bad. You pair one of those guys with our core and HOLY ****. We wouldn't be able to keep all of them long term, but man....

Those are good comps too, imo.

Also, I have said it before about this draft.. I think it could well go down as #1 in history. Will be fun watching these guys in college next year .. and then how good they'll be 5 years from now in the NBA.

How's the draft after those guys? In case we're drafting 30th next year.

The more I think of this, the more I'm liking my chance of us "tanking it" with the young guys next year.

Lindsey is just the kind of young, creative and innovative guy who would push for this move with KOC.

I'd say we draft Burke this year and focus on Jabari next year. I think that's a realistic outcome.

This would be too amazing. But if we're going to be in range of Jabari, why not just hope for Wiggins? Just sayin'.
 
Randle's heavy body combined with his perimeter skills reminds me a bit of Barkley now that I think about it.
