Following potential 2014 draftees

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.

Definitely traditional SF.

he was a PF in college, in the NBA he will need to make his $$$ playing SF but he can probably give you quality minutes at either position based on matchups, a la Thaddeus Young.

That makes me feel better about the hypothetical draft.

I was thinking "why have kanter, favors, vonleh, warren, evans?" Thats alot of power forward type guys.

I think Warren is a Small Forward. Don't think he has the strength to compensate lack of height to attack and guard bigger guys.

OKC has apparently made a promise to Kristaps Porzingis in the first round... Hopefully its at 29 and not 21.. if no fringe lottery players fall, thats who i'd want at 23. (id grade Porzingis as fringe lotto this year, definite lotto pick next year)

at least that means hes going to stay in this draft

Sixers say that Wiggins is their guy and will do ANYTHING to get him.

This likely removes them as a trade partner for the Jazz to move up.

Unless they fail to get Wiggins.

Maybe they're into the great athlete/defense type players (Noel, MCW in theory) and would be open to swap a chance for Parker for a chance for Gordon.

Unlikely … just thinking out loud…

Edit: I see Core4 beat me to the thought

Not necessarily. Cleveland takes Embiid and Milwaukee drafts Wiggins. Sixers are pissed off that their #1 option is off the board, say ^%&$ it, and trade back.

Or sixers are smokescreening. (I doubt it though)

Source says the Jazz saw Vonleh workout already last week in a private workout in New York.

With that thinking, Jazz FO man Walt Perrin is confident that Noah Vonleh can come in and play along side Favors, with no issues. Even if Vonleh isn't a starter, FO thinks he can come in and instantly make the Jazz' regular rotation because of rebounding and defense.

Interesting take away from today's Utah Jazz pre-draft workout: Longterm, the organization sees Derrick Favors as a center, not a PF.

So all those games that Marvin started, Favors WASN'T at the 5?
I don't think it's an interesting take away, at all. Derrick has limited range; he has to play near the rim. Kanter, Vonleh, or whoever else the Jazz have playing with Favors need to have solid outside games.
 
Gobert is our future center so.... Favors will have to play the 4. This is a big reason why I don't really care for another pf.

I hope to god we don't draft Vonleh
 
If Vonleh's that good I'll be really surprised if he's there at 5, to be honest. I'd think ORL would snatch him up.
 
^Just look at who is ahead of him. That's why he can be so good and be picked 5th. If Jordan can slip to third Vonleh can slip to 5th
