With his big hands and wing span, Vonleh is perfect for the PF position. Of course, I doubt he can play SF so we probably don't want him.

Check Exum's wingspan, but otherwise, the measurements are virtually the same as Michael Jordan.....just for reference.
I think he can play *some* SF like Lamar Odom, but it's probably not ideal for extended minutes or certain matchups.

Why would Randle fall? People were questioning if he was 6'9" - he is; they were saying he had a 6'11" wingspan - he's at 7'. If anything he looks better than he did before.

I agree. Randle is big enough to play PF where he can be an offensive mismatch. His stock should go up a little.
With Dimwiddle, Smart and Exum we have a bunch of really big PG prospects.

Dude, really? Randle is 250 and AG is 220.
For those mentioning Randle as SF, how many SFs are 250? LeBron? Randle basically has the exact body as Karl Malone - probably the most pototypical PF there has been, yet folks are saying Randle is undersized.

Michael Jordan measured 6'6" and 195 lbs. coming out of UNC. Obviously more explosive than Exum, but size/length is not an issue for Exum at SG.
Kobe Bryant was also 6'6" and under 200 lbs.

Randle's size is fine at the PF. His standing reach is 1/2" more than Blake Griffin. Doesn't have them hops though.

Smart at 6'3" with a 6'9"+ wingspan is impressive. The 227 isn't surprising - he's a monster, but he carries it well.
Also Kyle Anderson at close to 6'9" with the ability to play some point is solid.

Agree. The measurements are in Randle's favor. The "flavor of the month" in NBA circles seems to be the "stretch-4" model. That's the only reason why Randle might slip into the 7-10 range.
Fixed that for you. Don't take it seriously.

Is he the only one? Geez, I need to pay closer attention.

Summary?
They asked DL what Jazz are looking for/what needs to be filled. He said shooting and something else I don't remember, and a statement about basically everything, but that they have a lot of chips and may fill the needs by the draft or a veteran by trading (mainly refering to the two later picks). He feels that even if they slip a little in lottery, Jazz can get what they need as far as athletisim and talent. He also mentioned that Jazz tradition is that rookies have to wait their turn (mentioning Stockton, Hayward, Alec Burks). He then reiterated that they could go for a vet.
Lastly, they asked if John Stockton was being considered for head coach - DL shut them down pretty quick and said "No comment on the coaching search."
