Milos is also a party animal. Maybe the kid needs to grow up. They'll need to do their homework. Is he a kid growing up or is there a screw loose?

What do you guys think about trading Lyles for a pick in the teens this year? The Jazz could get another 21 year-old PF at 24 or 30 and pick up an extra player like Jeanne, Kennard, Kurucs, Justin Jackson, etc. in the teens.

Imagine if the Jazz came out of the draft with Kurucs/Kennard, Bam and Wilson in the first round. The cupboard would be stocked with young talent.

You've evaluated Kurucs and Kulboka, and you would take Kurucs?

I don't know Kulboka, but I like Kurucs. I like him more than Justin Jackson anyway.

What does Kurucs do exceeding well? Because Kulboka is 6'10 with 7 foot wingspan and shoots the hell out of the ball. Seems like too many people just cozy up to draft express on the internationals.

vs france

Up with the big club

Goes off

Does anyone know the deadline for international players to withdraw from the draft?

Kuruc does a bit of everything as a 6'8" or 6'9" wing at 19 years old. He can handle, pass, finish above the rim, shoot comfortably from range. I think he'll be like a more athletic wing version of Saric. I think he's underrated right now.

You get my point though I assume. You've watched the Latvian but not the Lithuanian.

True.

I've been wondering this myself. Only thing I found was on wikipedia and it says "about 10 days before the draft" is the last time they can withdraw.... :-?

Not a fan of Kennard at all. He's a horrible defensive liability. I wouldn't take him until the second round.

His measurements suck, I like D Mitchell, he's got Hill measurements, probably why the Jazz like him.

Trey Lyles probably wouldn't get the Jazz up high enough to draft Mitchell. Maybe a deal where the Jazz trade Lyles, Diaw and 24 for 12 + Player gets the Jazz to 12, but Detroit's motivation would partly be to move some salary.

Why the Jazz take Tyler Lydon: Lydon fits into more of a half court system and the Jazz have a balanced team and can afford to go with a player they see as their best fit. If the team moves Gordon Hayward as it is rumored many teams are after him, they could be looking for more offensive firepower from the bench.

WTF did I just read?

Sounds about right. NBA mock draft writer doesn't know **** about the Jazz. Did you expect something different?

He looks great in highlights. Jeremy Evans was also the leading shooting percentage guy in college basketball, right? Is he more Marion or more Evans?
