Following potential 2013 draftees

[Hantlers]

Allen Crabbe seems like an interesting guy to look at, a deadeye shooter something which the Jazz could use. One question, how would you all feel about drafting Shane Larkin at #14?

Larkin at #14 would be an absolutely terrible pick.

These are the other players that the Jazz are mentioned in their comments:

14. Shabazz Muhammad UCLA, Fr. 6-6, 222 lbs. SF.
17.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 38 3PT%
Muhammad did not have a bad combine, as some have suggested. He showed up and competed, which is something very few of the other top prospects bothered to do. His jump shot wasn't falling, and teams were mixed on his interviews. Part of the issue is just finding the right team. The Pistons are a good fit, and the same is true for the Wolves and Mavs. I doubt he'd slide past the Jazz at 14.

23. Allen Crabbe Cal, Jr. 6-6, 197 lbs. SG.
18.7 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.6 APG
Crabbe's terrific shooting at the combine, along with good measurements and above-average athletic testing put him in a competitive position to move up draft boards. With several teams, including the Thunder, Jazz and Bucks, looking for shooters, he could slide up into the teens.

25. Gorgui Dieng Louisville, Jr. 6-11, 230. C.
9.8 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 2.5 BPG
An ankle injury kept Dieng out of the draft combine. His stock has been cooling of late as the excitement from Louisville's NCAA title wears off and teams begin to wonder whether Dieng can contribute enough on the offensive end to justify a high selection. There's expected to be a serious run on bigs in the teens, with a number of teams -- including the Thunder, Mavs, Jazz, Celtics, Hawks and Bulls -- looking for centers.

If nobody is willing to give them much in a trade for the pick (worst darft evar alll guys are sucks!) why wouldnt it be possible they just stash a guy in Europe? Accomplishes the same thing salary cap wise.

Since when was clearing yourself of ~$11 in obligated salaries the same as clearing yourself of ~$1.5 million?

In case it required any clarification, there's been rumor that the Mavericks would essentially sell the pick for cap space (likely by dumping Marion to a team under the cap [which might have to take place after June 30th?]).

These are the other players that the Jazz are mentioned in their comments:

Hey did you hear who was working out at the Jazz's favorite P3 training facility in Santa Barbara the last three weeks.....

Here's a hint: He's a scoring wing and Ty Corbin told him the Jazz were looking for a scoring wing.

FYI- Nate Robinson 6.2 apg /2.5 topg per 36

Larkin 4.6 apg /2.3 topg per 36

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/shane-larkin-1.html


They are very similar players.

nate robinson turns 29 tomorrow...

nate took 14 or more FGA's in 10games as a senior, Larkin 6, but his come more in the flow of an offense. Nate Robinson takes terrible, heat check shots. and therefore in my eyes has more bust potential than Larkin... Nate turns 29 tomorrow and had a salary of $1,146,337 last season, hes also been on 5 teams, and will get lowballed for his services this summer due to his character concerns/age/size

i think if we take larkin at 21, his career is much better, and he earns much more $$$

im not saying hes Ty Lawson, but i prefer that comparison over Nate

Not at #14 but I would probably be ok with him at #21.

Never in the history of forevers. Have I ever wanted an NBA season to end so badly. This waiting game is frustrating. I don't care about the playoffs anymore. Give the Heat the title already and lets get this draft and new season started!!!

Fixed, and I agree.

It doesn't matter who you draft. The Jazz will never win a title, because the fans don't support their own team, and they don't support changes in the league that would give them a chance. You people should be rooting for Indiana. They are trailblazing a path , a blueprint, for change, for success for teams like the Jazz, and you aren't supporting them either.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

I hope the spurs win. However, not so sure in todays David Stern NBA.

The Spurs are from Texas, they've already got a bunch of titles, and they've got Duncun, a clear #1 draft pick some teams might have tanked for.
The Jazz are not the Spurs, but the Jazz could be the Pacers.
All the Pacers key players were drafted 10 or later.
