How interesting is this: Locke's thought from NY

It's gamesmanship time. Gotta get it out there that he's focused on Kanter. Blood in the water to juice deals if you ask me.
 
It would figure that once I'm leaning Knight more than I ever have that the Jazz would grab Kanter.

I won't be upset with either. Just make the most of the pick.
 
Oh boy... just when I thought I've made peace with Jazz picking Knight..

- Roller-coaster continues. Here we go again!!!
 
Smoke Screen??? Holy Cow! I was starting to be set on knight but this changes things! Jimmer at 12 now becomes more of a reality!! ... For better or for worse- You decide!
 
Tend to agree with NUMBERICA, weak draft does it matter, Knight or Kanter. Both seem that they play and add to the Jazz.

I do think you cannot have enough bigs and Kanter can play the 5. Finaly, a reason to get rid of FEZ!! Locke did mention that you play Harris and Knight, starter/sub respectively, for a year. Then trade Harris in the final year of his contract (2012-2013) and turn the reins over to Knight. Maybe get another good draft pick for Harris.

If you consider using two lottery picks to get unathletic players not interested in playing defense better, then this is the best-case scenario.
 
I'm not sure we can count out Kanter on the defensive end quite yet. I saw Jimmer on ESPN's PPI 2 days ago and he seemed really sincere that he wants to prove to people he can play defense in the NBA. I really do think 3 years down the road jimmer is going to be a solid pro point gaurd! Also, i think Jimmer is much more athletic than people give him credit for. It's neat that he finished 3rd in the agility testing, which was ahead of Brandon Knight and Walker. Not sure about how athletic Kanter is, but he does seem more so than boozer, and he is taller and hopefully not so set on personal pretense! ha.
 
I really like the idea of drafting Kanter and hoping that Jimmer is avble at 12 (if so) then move the 12th pick and Millsap for Granger and the 15.

Dude, what do you expect him to say? Are we all just suppose to believe Jimmer put 0 effort into defense his last year in college? The guy just flat out sucks at defense. He will improve, but he will always be a liability on defense. PG is by far the hardest position to guard in the NBA. PG's who are considered good college defenders come into the NBA and struggle to stay in front of their man.
