What would you do if Jazz draft Kon Knoepple at #5?

[nateboz]

He does everything. He's a good shooter and super smart. He's like a baby Jingles mixed with Chris Mullen. He'd be the Jazzs point forward and be a guy you'd count on to make the right play.
I'd pick a million K nipples over 1 Cody Williams.

I mean, I wouldn't Knuepple if Jazz traded down to 7 or 8, and added more 1st rd pick for this year or the next. It's just #5 seems somewhat high to draft him at.

I'd even do Knuepple at 6 for 5 and 18.

No option for "shrug" and pour myself a bourbon?

I wouldn't pick him over Tre Johnson... but I think he has a very high floor and more upside than most think. He does everything the right way- and has a no-nonsense, gritty quality that reminds me of John Stockton (in terms of demeanor and bb IQ).

fun fact: his offensive rating is 133.7 and defensive rating is 98.8. That is a CRAZY differential between the two... as high as I have seen. So there may be more to him than meets the eye?

Probably not since he played with 2 huge defensive anchors

I compared Kon to a guy from Boise State who will not be drafted. The BSU guy averaged four more points per game, out rebounded him and had a better field goal percentage. I get the BSU guy is older but geeze louise.

Well do you think it would be smart or stupid of them to not swing at one of VJ, Tre or Ace but instead take a bunt with Knipple?

Hit a triple with Knueppel.

You’re lucky it’s a line drive double.. lol..

What, we don't have any obscure Aussies out there that haven't been seen or heard of for over a year but have huge upside?

****ing weird comment mate

 

[Park Bites]

You don't swing you don't hit a home-run...

You can’t single your way to a championship.

I think Kon can be a triple. That might advance other runners. RBIs are valuable.

 

[Park Bites]

Could you imagine doing the trade that was suggested doing 5 for 6 and 18.
Then drafting
Kon
Demin
Raynaud?

People have already typecast the jazz.

happens every year and it has no basis in reality. jazz have drafted 5 players in the 1st round the last two years and all have been black. people are idiots.
