Word on the street is that Deron was a Hayward fan when the Jazz talked to Deron about picking him...

where'd you hear this nonsense?

This draft for the Jazz has been comical.

Yeah, I remember about 6 years ago everyone praising the Jazz getting Kirk Snyder, because he finally was the athletic strong dynamic wing the Jazz had been looking for for ages.

That worked out well. Then again, NBA players are made by fan reaction so I'm amazed it didn't turn out better for him.

A: I wasn't one of those fans.
B: Kirk Snyder is the Kobe of the penal system league.
C: Hayward will be a great ball boy.

So whats your point? Should the Jazz never draft an athletic player again? There are more successful athletic players in the NBA than non athletic players. I'll continue to pick the Kirk Snyders while you continue to pick the Luke Waltons.

A) Then you wouldn't have been in the majority and everyone would have mocked you for your lame opinion on a prospect the Jazz so desperately needed.
B) Gee, I wonder why the Jazz don't go for players like him or Stevenson anymore
C) Yeah, he might even actually be great with the ball

What's my point? That I actually like to see the players on the court before I judge what their NBA career is going to be. And both our teams would suck if that were the case, although mine would actually be on the court instead of in jail. Athletic means nothing if there are no brains to back it up with. What sort of career does Steve Francis have now?

More likely he is a talented towel boy.

The street. Duh.

O'Connor said he told Hayward that "Everyone will think you're the greatest thing since canned soup" once he arrives in Utah.

Well, I for one...****ing hate canned soup.

No soup for me!!

 

[mkbelle]

Yeah, but WHICH street? (It does matter, you know... )

A lot of Kirk Snyder's fame came from playing no one in his small college conference then having an outstanding tournament which got the attention of NBA scouts and GMs. Sound familiar? It should. If Hayward's team doesn't go far in the NCAA tournament, I doubt this pick happens. However, beware of falling in love with the tournament hero. Adam Morrison, Luke Jackson, JJ Redick, and Scott Padgett were some real famous ones.
