Following potential 2013 draftees

[Hantlers]

Spurs will have picked him long before the Jazz's 2nd round pick.

I know, but I can dream.

What does he do great? If his shooting is off.. what does he bring the team (and please don't say energy or hustle).

Energy, hustle, athleticism, length, rebounding from the guard position, defense...basically everything but shooting.

in the case of franklin, i like him at 21 and hate em at 14, i have him somewhere in the upper teens, so hes good value for us at 21, in my book.

when im looking at a player outside of the lottery i always ask myself, what would this player need to do to be a surefire lotto pick, with franklin thats obvious, shoot high %'s

to directly answer your question, right away he brings us an able body, whos focused and can be trusted to give 110% effort in whatever task he is assigned.

now he has bust potential or hed be in the lottery but i say his best case is a nice one if the jumpshot improves.

i particularly like this kids awareness/anticipation his shot isnt the prettiest but its a quick release, what makes me want to draft him, and reminds me of Iman Shumpert is his first step, i like this player as a project at 21

Jamaal Franklin once knocked his tooth out on the rim dunking the ball...

I can't help but think that if we don't get CJ we are going to regret not trading up for this guy.

Meh... I'd rather have Bullock. I think he's the best 2-way player in this draft.

I'm amazed you remember that. Basically, I bought into Nedovic strictly because Givony was/is so high on him, his efficiency be damned. I've learned in the meantime that even though Givony is the best draft analyst that I know of, everyone can be wrong and everyone has their pet likes and dislikes. I've cooled quite a bit on him, but wouldn't be upset if the Jazz drafted him. But I am more interested in James Ennis, Erik Murphy, Alex Abrines, maybe even BONGO. I'm sure someone that I like more will slip as well.

Yeah, his production/efficiency has unfortunately not taken much of a step up.

He doesn't pass the eye test for being "quick", "fast", and "nimble" enough to play the PG for me... sorry...

Steph Curry was quick and nimble.

Curious, just as a hypothetical question for everyone: what do you realistically think it would take to move up in this year's draft at each position:

1) Cavs
2) Magic
3) Wizards
4) Charlotte
5) Suns
6) New Orleans
7) Kings
8) Pistons
9) Timberwolves
10) Blazers
11) 76ers
12) Thunder
13) Mavs

I'm curious to see at each spot (or whatever spot you want to speculate on) what you think we could reasonably offer (that they might accept). It will be interesting to see whether this year's draft, despite rumblings about teams willing to trade down, turns out to have as few up/down trades as last year's.

For me he does, yes he's not as fast, but fast enough, as far as being nimble, he's every bit the ball handler Curry is. He doesn't move like Curry, think Deron Williams with McCollums shot. With your eye test CJ looks similar to D-Will dribbling the ball.

1) Cavs (Favors or Kanter)
2) Magic (Favors)
3) Wizards (Favors or Kanter)
4) Charlotte (Favors, Kanter, or Hayward + #14)
5) Suns (Hayward + #14)
6) New Orleans (Burks or Hayward + #14)
7) Kings (who knows?)
8) Pistons (Hayward or Burks)
9) Timberwolves (Burks)
10) Blazers (#14 + #21)
11) 76ers (#14 + #21)
12) Thunder (don't think they'd play ball with us)
13) Mavs (future first or salary dump + 2nd round pick)

CJ is as quick as DWill imo.
