I agree. If the NJ pick comes in around 7-8, I think a decent SF will be available, but I think either the later lottery pick or the GS pick is traded for a SG. I don't see anyone of note in the draft at SG. In fact, this draft may be like last season, where you have a top-3 (last year was 5) and then not much after that. Might be impossible to even trade the #6 and #14 to move into the top-3.
Midway thru the 4th quarter, the jazz ran out this line-up: Harris, Miles, AK, Favors, and Big Al. On paper, I'd have never thought I'd say this - but that line-up looked strong! They put the clamps on defensively! Went on something like a 14-4 run leading to a Pacers timeout!
Add to that a re-energized Millsap. I love the potential of this new Jazz team!

The Jazz's only real position of need now is at shooting guard.
dont we have C.J?

Add Tomic in a year or two, lose Memo/Bell/Miles, draft well, and add a SG = good days ahead.

shooting guard. not bricking guard.
exactly. miles has the tools to be a good player, but he doesn't have the brains or heart. if he would slash more he'd take a huge step up just from that. he'll just continue to settle for quick jumpers, and some nights hit them other nights he'll be a joke. sadly we see a lot more of the poor nights...
miles made me a believer a few times this year, but im not falling for it again.
im so over cj.

I really hope the Jazz get a "Big Man" coach to help Favors. He has tremendous timing and what impressed me the most about his opening dunk is how he collected himself before going up. I was also happy that Big Al said he would be glad to work with Favors. It is going to be fun to watch Favors progression.

PK had a thought that Favors, had he stayed in school, would be the #1 pick this year. We got the #1 pick!

Much easier to find a few wings than bigs.
We can find another Wes Matthews.
While no one can find another Al Jefferson or Derrick Favors outside of the lottery.
Yeah, and he is really playing like a #1 pick isn't he? What's is average so far, 6 pts and 3 rb? He is a project and we will not know for awhile what he is gonna be. Could be another #1 flop.
I am puzzled by what has people so excited right now about him. Could he be good? yeah. Is he now? No, right now he looks like an average backup NBA big.

Hey zman you're harshin' our buzz.
I think it's ok for the fans to be excited about the change. We need to look at the bright side of things and I think that a #1 for #3 swap is a semi-valid way to look at it. Maybe Favors would be further along if he had the PT, I don't know. Also, just like was said about CJ (and largely still is) he is young, 2 years younger than Deron when he came into the league, not far off what CJ was when CJ was drafted. I for one am excited about the new team, even if it is just to watch the young guys play. I liked that the team last night was having fun. They haven't had fun in a long time. I would much rather watch a few young guys play and have fun than a bunch of vets play and look like they are getting a root canal at the same time.
