Following potential 2013 draftees

Just saw one mock draft that has Utah taking Michael Carter-Williams at #14 and stashing Dario Saric from Croatia at #21 (both McCollum and Karasev were off the board before the Jazz' first pick).
Thoughts?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. At least to the MCW thing.
 
nbadraft.net's comments on our prospects

Sergey Karasev (6-7, Russia, 1993)

Easily the most consistent long distance shooter during the practices, Karasev is a smooth lefty combo wing with NBA aspirations. He is a decent athlete, though when guarded by Wiggins or Livio Jean-Charles he has been bothered by their length/athleticism. As far as skill level is concerned, his is quite high and he seems to have numerous ways to score and needs very little room to get his shot off. He has definitely impressed in this setting and he more than likely will keep his name in the draft as his feedback is sure to be positive. He plays like a seasoned pro and will be the main guy the USA will not want to leave open on Saturday.

Dennis Schroeder (6-2, Germany, 1993)

Sometimes the speed of Team USA at the PG spot can cause major match-up issues for the World Team in the Hoop Summit. With Schroeder running the point, that will probably not be a huge issue. He is very quick, can penetrate, and his length and speed makes him a really pesky on the ball defender. He has not shot the ball exceptionally well, and driving seems to be more his style. He will definitely need to gain more weight down the line, though his experience is apparent and he has been the best leader at the PG position in these early practices.
 
I know it's early, but this draft seems to have players all over the place. In past drafts there has been more consensus on the lottery picks or top-10.
 
Schroeder looks interesting, but I don't think he's a factor in the lottery. I don't think he's worth reaching for.

If McCollum's there are #14, you take him. If not, you look at Isaiah Austin and Giannis Adetokunbo for upside, with an eye also on Olynyk and any other player that might have slipped in the lottery.

Then at #21 go with a short list that includes Adetokunbo, Karasev, Saric, Schroeder, Goodwin, Withey, Dieng and Caldwell-Pope.

There's enough parity in this draft that making a trade to move up doesn't make much sense.

Edit: I haven't watched Nike Hoop Summit yet. It just would surprise me if Schroeder comes out of nowhere.
 
1) Burke
2) Herrn Gerhard Schröder
3) Catch and Jack McCollum


KOL, dont eff this up. One of three. Please. I'm gonna cry when Burke goes to another team, but my tears will be quelled if we can land this Deutsche Kartoffel.
 
I'm pretty sold on McCollum. I'll have to catch Schroeder's highlights after this game.

I think Burks will probably come off the bench. So McCollum and Hayward backed by Burks is a decent guard rotation.

How does Karasev look? His stroke is a lot like Kukoc.
