Following potential 2012 draftees

I really don't think the current players really care that much about the age requirement. I think if the owners proposed it, and everything else was agreed upon, they would just say F it we don't care.

Or maybe since they've caved a little on everything else, maybe they'll want SOMETHING to go their way, so they'll push for the age requirement to stay the same? Come on, it wouldn't hurt to be a little optimistic now and again.

UNC's first game;

Harrison Barnes - 2 of 8 from the field (9 of 10 FT's) for 13pts, 4rbs, 1ast

... safe to assume we needn't follow Henson or Zeller as they're obvious PF's.

Actually zeller is a center and I am hoping that he falls to us with our second round pick. I think he would make a great 3rd center on our roster.

Maybe barnes will suck again to start the year and drop to use.

Good thread PKM. I think the Jazz have assets to get virtually anyone in this draft, so your thread is very relevant. We know KOC goes aggressively after someone he likes, and he has a lot of ammunition. Especially if he cashes in on that GS pick this year.

Absolutely. There are very, very good chances of picking up any one, or two, of the following;

Harrison Barnes
Brad Beal
Austin Rivers
Terrence Jones
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Marquis Teague
Myck Kabongo
.. and many others

Not only is this draft littered with studs, but they it is so at desired positions. We could see two lottery picks where the BPA also happens to fill a specific need.

I'm not crazy about Zeller as a center in the NBA. He has a nice hook shot, I just don't see him as anything but spot minutes, imo. I also don't think he drops past about pick 20'ish.

I think there's a reasonable chance Barnes drops to 4 - 6. He should go 3, but it's a long season ahead.

I'm hearing (outside of media tweets) the age req't will not change and both sides know it.
 
Keep up the great conversations PKM! I love the draft.

Is it wrong of me to hope the Jazz are terrible this season (hopefully a shorter, less painful season)? I'll definitely root for Golden State to be fairly bad, but not too bad. Drafting MKG or Barnes would be a nice get, and then snagging a PG with upside would round out the young Jazz very nicely. Now watch the Jazz end up with Drummond and Sullinger.

During a regular season, I would never root for a high draft pick over winning games. However, since the nimrods in the NBA are ruining the season anyway, added to the fact that Utah will probably be mediocre at best, and I'm only a few weeks from going into full out tank mode. Yep, if they don't pull their heads out in a hurry, and get the season started by Dec. 1, I say it's time to start the tank movement.
 
The lockout is probably going to make Utah an ever crappier team. We basically have a new coach, 2 new rotation players, and a really young team. The lockout will probably hit us the hardest of any other team besides the Timberwolves.

Thanks, glad others like the conversation. I would certainly be happy, very happy, with Sullinger and Drummond .. needs or not. (Though I do think Sullinger is a bit overrated as to how he will translate to the NBA.)

I just want a killer-good team in the next couple years. If that means another bad year, wtf cares?

Totally agree.
