But what if that Dinette set is made out of solid gold and you didn't know it? There have been many "experts" that have said that Knight could be the best player to come out of this draft. He is a 19 year old with a great work ethic and high potential to improve. While I agree with the fact that the Jazz should not be looking at him at 3 I do think your undervaluing what he has the potential to become according to multiple draft guys.

The word is that he outplayed Nolan Smith in Indiana's workout. I don't know if that means he actually played some defense or if he was just able to get by Smith and do his stuff. I still think Jimmer could be a passable PG. With the right spacing and sets he could be effective. Jimmer and Hayward on the wings with Kanter and Favors inside would be tough to guard.
The news out of Indiana might get Jimmer a few workouts with mid-late lotto teams. I'd be surprised if he breaks into the top 10 though.
According to Ford, Sacramento could have interest in him if Walker and Knight are gone.

But if the Jazz take Kanter then one of either Knight or Walker will be there for Sacramento because the only team that might take a PG them is Toronto.
1) Cleveland take Irving
2) Minny isn't taking a PG,
3) Jazz take Kanter,
4) Cleveland took Irving with their first pick,
5) Toronto can take either Knight or Walker
6) Wizards aren't taking a PG
7) Sactown get's either Knight or Walker

You seriously do just look at player comparisons on nbadraft.net and make your assumptions dont you? Before you callec him terry and now that they compare him to holiday your on that. Watch a game please.
Holiday is a pretty good comparison for Knight. He is a tall, long guard who struggled some in college. They both tested out as good but not exceptional athletes. They both lacked the get-to-the-rim ability in college of elite guards.
I think Knight's jumper is better than Holiday's ever was in college. Holiday seems like a more instinctive defender. I think Knight has better scoring instincts.
The modern classic, UHF, of course! Love that movie! We take our kids to Spatula City at least a couple of times per month (generic shopping trips).

I love weird al
In my mind #3 is worth more than #4 and #54. There has been a lot of talk on JazzFanz about Cleveland trying to acquire the #8 pick, so they can trade #4 and #8 to Minnesota for #2. I'd like the Jazz to get that same deal instead of Minnesota and give them our #3 for a #4 and #8. They might do it since they get Irving and either Williams or Kanter. We could still get one of the players we want at 4 (Kanter or Knight probably) and have flexibility with the #8 and #12 to either use them this year, trade one away to a bad team for a lottery pick next year, or even combine 8 and 12 to trade up for another quality player maybe in the 6 range or so. Options galore.
