BTW, if he falls past the Kings, we have to do everything we can go grab him guys. He's good value at that spot. He provides leadership. He's a solid 3pt shooter. He's a fighter and a warrior.

Remember, a star PG doesn't win Chips. We only need a solid floor general setting up other guys and hitting those 3's.

No thanks.

Still would rather have CJ.
 
Isaiah Thomas won chips
Chauncey Billups won chips
Tony Parker won chips
Magic Johnson won chips
Jason Kidd eventually won a chip
Rajon Rondo won a chip
Sam Cassel won a chip.

John Stockton, Gary Payton, Kevin Johnson and Allen Iverson almost won a chip.

All Star PGs do win chips, but they play on teams with elite bigs and wings too.

I have a feeling you like Fish & Chips.

Am I right?
 
Giannis' team really sucks btw. They're playing him at PF and having him bring the ball up and run plays to set up slow-a** players.
 
Locke repeated something profound today. An NBA scout told him to stop looking for a starter in this draft. Look for a rotation guy and then you can evaluate this draft crop better. Locke also shared an original thought that most draft mistakes are made from 6-15 by teams looking for a potential star rather than a rotation player.

Which got me to thinking: If the Jazz are going to go young and run out a bunch of young players in hopes of adding by trades or FA next summer....well, why not draft three guys that can play right away and then the Jazz have a tradeable piece if they need it. Jazz have always seemed to try for the guy with a higher ceiling who may not be ready. This year, in this draft, with the new CBA changing the NBA landscape why not get Olynyk, Larkin, Plumlee and Jackson or the likes....a little older perhaps, a lower ceiling perhaps, clear deficiencies--yes. But guys that can play with the Core 4+3 next year.

Solid points. I still just like the concept of taking whomever you think is the best player. I don't like it slanted toward game-ready because we're not contenders anyway.
And though I do like the sound of what Locke said, he didn't really say anything.

Locke is stupid.


There is always a really good player or two after 14. I did that study already and made a thread about it. So I have no problem with swinging for the fences. Someone who will be really good will be available at 14.
 
I look for NBA athletes, well suited to an NBA position, with raw talent, a bit of polish and the desire to get better. When a kid is 19 or 20, he's far from being developed as a player. Most guys take until they're 23 or 24 to show who they really are.

There are a bunch of starting caliber players in this draft though.

Not saying you're wrong, but curious which you think those are?
