Re: RealGM 2015 Fan Forum Mock Draft - UTA #12
This is really tough, so many guys all in the same group. I'll just stick with my board from a couple weeks ago.
1. Kaminsky
2. Oubre
3. Turner
Those 3 are really close and are pretty much interchangeable.

My mind says Kaminsky here, but I voted with my heart and chose Payne.

Re: RealGM 2015 Fan Forum Mock Draft - UTA #12
Myles Turner! I'm shocked he's still there to be picked! I hope our FO has the choice between the monster physical specimen in that part of the draft - Oubre, Turner, Looney... I would be happy with any of them. Kaminsky and Portis are options as well, but I simply can't pass on Turner's potential. That's my choice.

Done! As we go farther through this mock draft the "ten next best" prospects will probably get harder to quantify.

Re: RealGM 2015 Fan Forum Mock Draft - UTA #12
I voted Kaminsky, though I'm not married to the pick. He reminds me so much of Okur that I can't help but like him.
I wouldn't mind a trade down to take Rondae Hollis-Jefferson or Delon Wright.

I take Frank all day long here. Really though I'll be a little sad if the Jazz actually pick at this spot rather than trade up or out.

Turner if he is there and you can't pass at his defensive potential and his ability to stretch the floor.
Ingles is cooked.

Re: RealGM 2015 Fan Forum Mock Draft - UTA #12
It's too tough to pass up on a 7'0 who can shoot the 3 and be a rim protector, Myles Turner is the way to go

Turner definitely won't be there at 12, but since he is for this draft Turner should be the choice.
Worst case scenario is that you then trade him for lottery level talent.

I really like the idea of Harrell, but I think we could easily trade down to around 15/16 and get him. That wouldn't be a bad result, especially if it came with another pick. At 12, I'm torn between Kaminsky and Turner. Turner obviously has more upside, but I think Kaminsky ends up being the better player on offense.

If it's between those two you might as go with upside/ceiling. But yea I'd be looking to move up or down. But as it stands I am comfortable with Harrell's motor as the first big off the bench.

Oh no! Thank YOU! I'd be happy if we managed to land Turner on actual draft-night.

Is that a sloth in your profile, because Turner looks like he moves like a sloth out there, his lateral movement is slow as hell.

It's because his body shape and movement is so abnormal. Draftexpress wrote a whole article about how they think he could be injury prone due to his weird gait.

Re: RealGM 2015 Fan Forum Mock Draft - UTA #12
Out of the 15 or so prospects that could be picked at 12 the only one who would disappoint me is Devin Booker.
