Brandon Knight had the best workout with the Jazz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If KOC ultimately goes with Knight I will give him the benefit of the doubt. However, the Jazz better feel real comfortable with Favors or Jefferson at center for a long time because there won't be another chance to draft a big again in the near future. Next years draft is good but all SFs and a few finesse PFs.

Either Biyombo or Donatas will be available at 12 most likely.

So you have nothing to back it up

No not really - but there's a reason why Dirk was picked 9th in that draft.

You look at the players' fundamentals and estimate whether they translate to the next level.

And Yes - you take a chance, and it is risky, but that's what you do.

Most mock drafts have Kanter going 6 to Washington. I highly doubt the Jazz draft Kanter unless they are looking to deal him right away. Just my thoughts.

Not to mention Okur is in a contract year and is probably going to work his *** off to get in shape and contribute to the team. What does Kanter add to this team that we don't already have in one of our players?

Worst of all if Millsap can't play the 3 effectively, then we are stuck in a situation where we can't even play Kanter any minutes.

Sorry - Most mock draft have Kanter going at 4.

I knew it. Hottnickk went for the bold typing.

I'd give you some lollies & a gold star if I had some, but unfortunately I ran out.....

I'll take rep.

Not right now obviously.. but fundamentally:

1. 3pt shot? Yes
2. Dribble & drive game? Yes
3. Inside game? Yes
4. Free throw shooting? Yes
5. 7 Footer? Near enough
6. Toughness? Yes
7. Clutchness? May be (it only took Dirk 13 years)

Against who - U18 competition in Europe?

Please no pg at 3. Either Dwill2.0 or Kanter.

Dirk was drafted because he was a lights-out shooter who could also put the ball on the floor. Kanter's more of a post player who can hit the outside shot. Major difference.

FWIW, I agree that comparing Kanter to Dirk is simply a bad comparison. Kanter will be a real bruiser vs. being a finesse player. He can shoot really well .. but understands it makes the TEAM better for him to be near the rim grabbing every rebound and backing his guy down for a 2 footer or dunk.

This.

Wish all you want but knight will be a jazz man.

Is it just me or did KOC just say more about knight in that article then he has ever said about any prospect before maybe even combined. Hummmmm what does it mean? Smokescreen ....... Fire ....... Oh this is tearing me apart. I love this time of year.

That's where I'd bet as well.

Apologies for the laziness, but what article?

Grrr.

I will be disappointed, initially, if we take Brandon #3 .. but we will NOT look back and think we made a bad choice, imo. Knight will get it done, for sure.
