Jazz planning huge surprise with Vesely #3 and sleeper PG #12

[NCJazz]

I haven't homered on this board, though many would disagree, I have only shared direct insight on UK players (because it's relevant in this draft).
Having said that, are there those that TRULY believe we'd pick Jan with our 3rd pick?

Certainly a possibility. We have gone to Belgrade to see him. We are now going to NJ to see him. Now granted i think this could also show us that there is a real possibility that we might move down a few spots.

I watched 3:15 of this video and all I know is that Reggie can dunk... Does he only pass when he cannot dunk the ball?

Here he tells a 6'10" 263 lbs. teammate to stand straight up between him and the basket. He then jumps clean over his 6'10" teammate and dunks. Amazing.

Very Derrick Rose/Dwyane Wade-ish. Will be the steal of the draft.

There's an even better secret in this video (and it's not hiring officials who will majorly pimp our players - though that would be good too). Check it out. They turned half of the court into ice. Our guys show up wearing skates. Theirs don't. Voila. We win by a landslide every night. Draft Christy Yamaguchi!

Why, you ask?

Well, there won't be a frontcourt prospect as good as 6'11" Jan Vesely available at #12. The Jazz have to grab Vesely at #3 if they want to draft a decent frontcourt player.

The question is, will there be a great PG prospect available at #12?

The answer is yes!

Word is the Jazz have just discovered an absolute gem of a PG prospect at #12. Not Jimmer. Not Knight. Not Walker.

A player who could end up better than all three.

This super talented PG prospect stands 6'3"/6'4", weighs 208 lbs, has elite physical athleticism, 40" vertical leap, and a stunning 7'0" wingspan. Plus, basketball skills that are reminiscent of Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose.

His name is Reggie Jackson of Boston College. Remember the name. Did not participate in the Chicago pre-draft camp due to a minor injury, but this guy is the REAL DEAL at the PG position.

Averaged 18.2 pts. 4.3 rebs. 4.5 asts. 1.1 stls. 50.3% fg. 79.6% ft. 42% 3-point fg. as a Junior this past season at Boston College.

Lots of similarity between this guy and Derrick Rose/Dwyane Wade in college.

I like Reggie Jackson but have the Jazz even worked him out?

Did you miss the part about Vesely not being able to hold onto the ball. He has terrible hands.

This draft cannot happen soon enough. Thankfully. We then have a lockout to wade through after that. Good times.

Yep, after this we can immediately start debating 2012.

Will you leave the board if we don't draft Kanter?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Really curious.

Time will tell. But While PKM is a homer, he admits that and there are far worse (have your pick of any of the Jimmerites).

 

[Dr. Jones]

Really curious.

I've been here long before any talk of UK players, live in UTAH (most of the year), but I have a challenge for you.

Go to my forum posts and find ONE single post that even so much as say we should draft Kanter (I may predict it, but I have not pitched it). Find one singlepost where I use any hyperbole that is even 10% as strong as the average post on this board.

I shared info, I dare say MOST appreciated that info. Since then, I've remained largely silent on any Kanter talk ... but rather general Jazz/draft talk. My posts support that. The fact that you love to stalk me, doesn't make me a homer, it simply shows your schtik. If you are one that DID NOT appreciate the inside look into Kanter, fine, but your material is well beyond stale.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Oh .. and no, I won't leave if Kanter isn't selected, douche.

My vote is that you stay and Dwill_ZitasourousRex goes (though I'll miss his sexy avatar).
