Jazz discussing #3 for #6, #18

I really want to take Kanter at #3 because I think he could be semi-special/unique. I'm afraid we'll take Knight. .

Agreed. Kanter OR D2will might be special, I dont see that out of Knight at all. PLUS, our biggest need isnt a PG, IMO. It is an actual SG, which we havent had since that one guy. There arent any sure fire 2's in this draft, so you go BPA at 3. Deal from there if needed, but DONT waste #3 on Knight, when you can get him later.

The difference is that the Blazers knew with 100% certainty that they were giving up Deron/Paul. In this situation, drafting Knight is still a very real possibility if we trade down. It's bad strategy to take a guy at 3 who almost certainly would not go 4. If this were the 23rd pick, then yeah, who cares about trading down a few spots for maximum gain, but this is the 3rd pick. We need to milk it for all its worth.

Still a very real possibility is a far cry from sure thing. Unless jazz know 100% certainty the guy they want is still there, then it's a bad move. You don't know that, I don't know that, maybe Jazz brass know that, but there seems to be a whole lot of uncertainty at this point.

As a side note I'm souring on Knight and easing myself on the Kanter bandwagon.

#6 - Bismack Biyombo(if ppl think this is a reach - recently i've heard him mentioned to go to Toronto as high as #5, but most realistic would be Detroit at #8)
#12 - Marshon Brooks(best SG in the draft? i think so)
#18 - Kenneth Faried( a millsap clone, he'd definitely be the best value this late)

I'd like that draft but one thing I noticed. The Jazz usually take guys who work out for them
2010- Hayward,Evans
2009- Suton. Maynor had a workout but canceled cause of injury. Jazz did meet with him the day before the draft and saw him workout in GS
2008- Kosta was supposed to go in lottery so didn't work out
2007- Worked out Almond
 
Jazz are really the only team that would select Knight at 3.

There hasn't even been a rumor of a team wanting to trade up to get him.
 
But past 5 hes gone. After two everyone is drafting on need. Every teams big board has different bpa as well. Cavs would take knight 4 if they did not take irving 1. Perplexing that taking knight 3 is so hard to understand. I think there are alot of broken hearts on this board as the draft creeps closer as i think it is evident Kanter will not be a jazzman.

Probably. I've said I'd like to see them draft Kanter but will be pretty happy with Knight. While he may not be the franchise changer at #3 I think his bust potential is quite low, so that's a positive. Plus it's hard to not like the kid. He's an intelligent hard worker who can shoot.
 
Spurs looking to trade Tony Parker to the Raptors or Kings for their draft picks. If the Spurs pull a trade for the 5th Overall Pick. I think it's safe for the Jazz to trade down with the Wizards and get a future 1st round draft pick. Why? Spurs like George Hill and would not draft Kanter as they are trying to get a big/center to replace Duncan
