Don't screw this up...

[Deleted member 365]

Has been said by KOC. I wonder if we do indeed draft Knight and Singleton if this is the main theme. Although there might be sexier and riskier picks at #3 and #12, the Jazz might be thinking a little more conservatively.

Especially after being burned by Duron.

I wonder if the Jazz are focusing even moreso now, on guys that will work hard, not rock the boat, and will fit in.

Boozer, struggled to fit in with his character and work ethic issues.
Duron struggled to mesh with his narcissistic personality and mood swings.

Knight, unlike Kanter, seems mature and better prepared to led. Unlike Kanter, played last year and showed great improvement throughout the season. Perhaps the Jazz are banking on his continued improvement and if he can raise the play of our entire team.

Singleton, unlike Morris, seems like a quieter guy that will bring his hard hat to the job. Singleton, unlike someone like Donta, doesn't have issues with his intensity or work ethic.

So I'm just wondering, if the draft pans out with Knight and Singleton being our selections, what was the general theme?

Did we go with the BPA?
Or did we try and get good talent but nothing too risky that would "screw things up?"

Repped!!

I think that Utah picking Knight/Singleton our safe picks but I do think they both have some serious upside and I would be an extremely happy Jazz Fanz if this is how the draft turns out.

The DWill pick looked good at the time.

The DWill pick looked good at the time.

The Dwill pick was great then and great now. We traded DWill the 3rd pick for 2 3rd picks (favors and this years) plus Harris (5th pick) and another 1st round pick. One of the best drafts for the Jazz was picking Dwill any way you look at it.

@12 Utah will go Singleton, Montiejunas, or Fredette. Don't be shocked if Utah takes Knight and Fredette, signs Earl Watson and figures out how to trade Devin Harris. Maybe Devin Harris to Charlotte for Diop and #9.

This.

DWill still is the best pick we've made in the past decade. If I could have the pick back, I wouldn't.

Hell, we have Favors, Harris and the #3 pick this year because of him. I don't care if he didn't give cues if he wanted to stay or not......he was a human asset that has given us equal value. I actually think our future is brighter with him gone.

I say, thank you DWill. Favors future > Current DWill

Rumors aplenty but NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING.

I love the Jazz Front office.

Knight @ #3 and Singleton @ #12 are definitely not BPA.

They're both reaching at least 2-3 spots.
