Following potential 2014 draftees

Lavine makes sense for a team looking at a multi-year tank or as the 2nd selection for teams with two lotto picks. He's just so raw, he won't be an impact guy next year. I'm not sold on him, I'd be surprised if he goes top 15.

You should be surprised if he gets out of the lottery.
 
I like Micic; last summer i mentioned id take him with the GSW pick. Players have moved ahead of him since then but he seems like a good fit as a backup. Theres an injury history thats probably minor, but worth mentioning.

Hes probably the best passer in the draft, he proved to be streaky 3pt shooter and his athleticism is meh, but in the 2nd round hes a pretty good gamble.

Thanks for the insight. All I know about him is from draft profiles which mentioned his elite passing, but concerns over speed and shooting. He's 1 year removed from an ACL which I suspect is one reason he could improve his quickness. 2nd round if he's still available. One of the mocks has SA taking him at 30. Sounds reasonable given their love of foreign PG's.
 
Just read an article that says the Celtics have zeroed in on A. Gordon. Which, of course, means they're hoping Utah will take him so they can draft Vonleh.
 
I somehow envisioned today looking at the draft slots that Sacramento might make some weird move like drafting Zach LaVine simply because they can. And then the next scary thing is that this little kid could use his 1% chance to become great next to Boogie and Rudy Gay.

I don't think Lavine is a better prospect than McLemore, whom they picked at #5 last year. I'm not seeing Lavine go to Sacto, but who knows?
 
Vonleh has the potential to be one of the best 2-3 guys in this draft, IMO. So, I'd be happy with the first part.
 
Bleacher's latest mock have the Jazz:

$5 Vonleh
#23 - TJ Warren

How would people feel about that draft?

If the Jazz take a forward at 5, I hope they get Jordan Clarkson at 23. Has some size for a PG. Can get to the hoop, has some range, plays D, and has a good work ethic. Had a rough 2nd of the season but I think his dad had some severe health problems. With that said... I like TJ Warren too.
 
I posted a recent CBS draft mock in the "will Jabari fall to 5th?" thread btw. Check it out bishes.
 
What position does tj warren play? (I thought he was a power forward)

In all the mocks I've seen him listed at SF. He has an old school game. Not a great 3pt shooter but he cuts and slashes and has pull up jumpers. I see him as a Great fit with the Jazz. I like Jordan Clarkson too. Again I just hope the Jazz front office doesn't just give away these two picks but actually looks at the talent before they decide to use them in a trade or give them away.
