I don't see him inm the mix at #3, but if a deal came up and the Jazz moved down...perhaps. Or maybe if the buyout situation is not resolved, he ends up sliding.
Kanter played with JV like a toy when he played against him 2 yrs ago

I disagree. In 2 years Jefferson and Millsap's contracts are up and by then there will be a much more clear picture of whose team this is between them, Favors and Val. JV and Favors could very easily end up the starting front line and if they both live up to their potential this would be a dominant inside defensive duo. In the meantime Jefferson and Millsap are both very good players just coming into their prime. After the end of next season and going into 2012 a decision will have to be made but whoever isn't kept will still be a valuable commodity. Who knows, maybe there is room for everybody if Sap can play the 3.
You don't draft players based on what the team will look like their rookie year.
im not arguing the front court rotatioon but i believe kanter is a much better fit to favors than valanciunas

BN- Maybe, but JV and Favors are definitely better fits for Jefferson. My main problem with Kanter is that he is redundant with Al, I don't see that with JV/Favors.

If most scouts loved him over Kanter, he'd be projected higher than Kanter in the majority of mocks. Get a ****ing clue hack. Hyperbole's this month's go-to move.

That he's rated almost as high, even with the buy-out concern signals that he is close. If he could come over this season he might be rated equal or even ahead. Most teams are not going to stash a Euro for a few years. I know, it happened with Rubio. But few GM's have enough job security to tell their owners and fans...we're going to be just as bad next season because I'm selecting a player we won't even see for two more years. Do that and you'll soon be the ex-GM of the team.
"Informal GM poll: Who's the best int'l player in the draft? Vesley 5 votes; Kanter 4 votes; Valanciunas 3 votes. All said it's very close" - Chad Ford
They are all pretty close in terms of how teams feel about them. There is no unanimous "best player" like many of the Kanter (homers) supporters think.

The only reason he's projected lower is due to the buyout situation. He is ahead of Kanter on the most respected mock and has been for the entire year, and every scout Locke interviewed liked him better as well. Basically anyone who has actually seen him play in real life.....which isn't you.
