Hey PKM - how well regarded is this Jay Fernandez guy from Pro Hoops?

Strangely enough he's working out 3 of my most favorite players in this draft: MCW, McCollum and Reggie Bullock.

I know Jay personally. I appreciate his ability to dissect a player's strengths and weaknesses .. as well as his projecting their ability to improve upon their weaknesses. I wouldn't call him the best or anything, but definitely someone I listen to and respect.

So when he said MCW's shot isn't broken and it's just a matter of getting up reps - you believe he's telling the truth?

Could be media-speak. He depends on agents lining up their players for him to workout and train with/evaluate.......

I trust his mind .. I trust NO ONE's mouth when speaking to/through the media.. no one.

All of this talk on Larkin's vertical needs to stop. He did not show that vertical during games, and since he's terrible at finishing, it's an irrelevant skill other than showing that he's explosive, which we already knew from his sprint times.

Larkin does not see the floor well. Watch the tape. Coming off of the PnR, he missed open corner shooters and the roll guy countless times. He's a starter on a bad team, who would be more suited to be an energy guy off the bench. You don't draft that kind of player at #14 or #21.

Hantlers FTW.

ok today I feel the jazz need to trade up into the top 10. get Burke, McCollum or McW. with out giving up Hayward, favors, kanter or our pick in 2014. I am ok using burks.

I can understand the sentiment, but I'm just not convinced this draft - at where the Jazz COULD move up to - offers anyone who will be better than Burks. Alec can be a legitimate 6th man, if not a starter. Stay at #14 and I think we can get the same type of player. Jazz have 3 solid starters in place in Kanter, Favors and Hayward. This draft is not going to bring a 4th, but the 2014 draft just might. I think the Jazz need to add multiple picks by doing deadline deals, such as taking on contracts. And one of those might include Burks as compensation. I'd hold on to him until then. The only trade I'd go for is moving up a few spots by combining the #14 and #21 - if the Jazz really like a player who has dropped.

tl/dr

... having said that I think Burks has a great potential to be the 6th man for us. If you look around the league for a legit 6th man, they all have taken some time to develop. Crawford. Ginobili. JR Smith. etc, etc. You have to be patient.

Burks made great strides last year handling the ball and 3pt shooting also came along nicely. Grass is always greener, but I do think Burks has that fearless, attacking qualities that a 6th man need.

This. This. THIS.

He has an insane vertical leap? Oh, okay. So show me how he uses it on the court.
