Following potential 2014 draftees

Lebron airballed a free-throw? Was his shoulder dislocated or something? The only guys I ever saw airball a FT were Ben Wallace and Chris Dudley.

If you're talking about LeBron, I think LeBron brings more to the table that will allow you to overlook that.

What does Gordon do, that you think will allow him to come in and dominate one aspect of the game year one? Year three? Year five?

I don't see one trait that says, he dominate this: _______ in five years.

Embiid has defense.
Wiggins has defense.
Parker will score 25.
Smart will score 20 and has defense.

Those are the only for sure things in this draft. Everyone else has big time bust material. They might have high ceilings, but they also have loooooooow floors.

I respect this post, but I think both Exum and Vonleh have high floors, like Shaun Livingston and Rashard Lewis, worst case.
 
I think the Jazz can build a team around versatile inside-outside bigs with Kanter, Favors, Vonleh and Gobert. That's where we're going to get our mismatches.

The Burk Bros. will also score from different places out on the floor, and Hayward will go back to spotting up and facilitating.

I'd love to get James Young in this draft to complement it all though.
 
I really want the jazz to move up to grab either stauskas or McDermott. I wonder if burks would be enough?

* move up not draft at 5.
 
If Jazz stay at #5 I would lean toward Vonleh.
Not what Jazz really need but seems like best fit.
Jazz need a SF who nobody can leave open.
A SF who is a great shooter.
First available one is McDermott at maybe #8.
Should Jazz trade down with the #5 or trade up with the #23?
How do Jazz get one of the good shooters that will go between #5 and #23?
 
People concerned about Vonleh's motor, his stats and his disposition to dominate should keep in mind that he was playing out of position all year. He's not a center. He's a face-up player like Lamar Odom. He grew up playing SF in high school.

There are several shooters that will go in the teens----McDermott, Harris, Stauskas, Young, and Saric. I think they're all gone by 18 though.

Wtf?
Burks > stauskas and mcdermott
 
Well, here's Aaron Gordon working out. You see a sequence where he hits 2 long jumpers in a row, without editing.
