We go with Derrick Williams obviously. Why would you trade someone who fits our most important need? Kirilenko is a free agent and Miles blows. Hayward looks set at shooting guard so you go with Derrick Williams at 3.

Most people don't think Williams can play the 3 because of defense, I think he can though. They believe he can be a very effective stretch 4 but we have 3 possible PF's in Favors, Al and Milly

We can always trade later on. Most experts have him playing SF both ESPN and NBATV think he would be better suited at the 3. He is a great perimeter shooter too.
Pick Williams and look for ways to pick up a defensive-minded C.
It's not just a defensive issue with Williams playing the 3 spot, imo. His handles are suspect for an NBA sf .. too many turnovers and too few assists (at the college level playing PF to assume his offense will translate well to the SF in the pros. He may be great, in fact, I think he will be, I just think he's a stretch 4 and entirely redundant on this team.
Draft him, this is the dumbest question ever.

Draft him and be happy you got one of the 2 best players in the draft.
As far as making a great trade to a team in love with Williams - don't think that's a likely option because if teams really wanted Williams they'd trade with Minnesota who would be happy to trade this pick - it sounds like Phoenix is the only team with legitmate interest - and they're not offering enough.
I'd be estatic if the Jazz end up with Williams, but 36 hrs before the draft I'm not putting too much stock into this report - remember last year when it came out a few days before the draft that the Nets were looking at Wesley Johnson instead of Favors?
While I agree with your concerns, especially on defense. His handle doesn't bother me at all. How much do the Jazz ask their SF to really handle the ball? As long as he can hit the 3, post up smaller players, can finish around the basket, and drive to the rim he can play the 3 in the Jazz system.

**** head, the Wolves have been offered Bynum,Nash,Gortat,Pau and others. The Jazz would be crazy to not listen to offers
Actually I would take the Phx deal Gortat and the 13th pick for D.Will2 Then draft Jimmer and Singleton.
Harris, Jimmer
Hayward, Bell
Miles, Singleton
Favors, Millsa
Jefferson, Gortat
Wow, I now really hope that Dwill falls to Utah at 3!! Thats a contending team!!!
