Following potential 2015 draftees

I really hope we trade out, one way or another. None of the guys are that exciting to me. I'd love a vet via trade or trading down/out to pick up an extra future 1st. I'm not convinced anyone at #12 makes us markedly better the next year or two (except maybe Kaminsky) and I'm ready to win now.

He moves with more fluidity. Portis is awkward.

Portis is one of the better transition runners as far as big men go in the draft.

Lyles just has a good IQ and is a good passer, which makes sense why we like him.

Andy Larsen said on twitter he doesn't think Jazz FO is that concerned about defensive issues because we have drafted Exum and Hood as the last two picks, both of whom were thought to be bad defenders. That comment kind of makes a case that we might draft Lyles.

What vet though?

Swap that #34 for an unprotected 2017 first rounder, then give the Lakers 1 hour to make a deal. In the overall scheme of things, Randle and Clarkson aren't stellar assets. You can get solid, non-draft assets for Boogie, probably better than that Lakers offer. Think about what you could pry out of Orlando, Milwaukee, or Washington.

Except that they already traded their 2016 pick and 2018 is called for as well, so they can't offer a 1st rounder until 2020. They have the best blue chip asset... #2 pick and if I am trading DMC I am not getting the potpurri of draft assets... I'm getting at least one blue chip asset.

If Orlando or Washington offered up Oladipo or Beal you could argue that might be better than #2, but I 'd rather have the #2 pick this year.
 
If we like Portis, Lyles, and Kaminsky I hope we find a good trade back scenario. We can get one of those guys later.

Plenty of guys in this draft are exciting to me: Hezonja, Johnson, Kaminsky, Porz, Turner, Looney, Portis, --- even Booker, Oubre, AND EVEN LYLES. Granted, I'm not super excited about Lyles, mind you, but he is pretty tall for someone so fluid. And he can pass. And he can hit a jumpshot. Lotta good players at 12. (notice how I didn't even mention the guys at the top of the draft - and still there are plenty to get excited about)


Get geeked, kids!! NBA Draft is better than Christmas!
 
I'm not super high on Lyles.. But most are selling him short.

All most here have seen of his actual play is nothing. Don't lie.
He played limited minutes and almost exclusively at SF. He would have thrived, much better, at PF.
His skillset at his age and at 6'10 is impressive.

Just giving the counter, in the event you hear his name called.

I don't think he sucks or anything, just don't see anything to get excited about.
