Kanter would have killed it at UK. Watching the practices and how he had already gelled with Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, etc., and all that outside shooting had the makings of a killer year for him. UK would have won the Championship that year (rather than losing in the Final Four) and the Jazz would have missed out on him.

So really, had both played, Kanter would probably have been the clear #1.
 
if kanter played only one game at Kentucky, he would have been the clear cut number one. Nobody can stop him. He is the only guy with a post game, right now in the nba, only Z-Bo and Al Jefferson plays the post better than him.

I suspect it would have been a nail-biter between Kanter and Irving with Kanter going #1 and Irving #2.

And you'd be 30,073 Jazzfanz posts lighter. ;-)
 
Kanter would have easily been #1.

Easily.

Folks that claim that Favors would have gone before kanter obviously aren't familiar with G tech. Or Favors, for that matter. Favors is still trying to figure out an offensive move.

I agree that Kanter would have been taken over Favors.. but it would have been much closer between he and Irving. I suspect it would have come down to Irving's injury history knocking him to #2 behind Kanter.

I thought we were talking about THIS draft? Isn't that what the title is? Or are we talking about the previous draft had Kanter been allowed to play?
 
Enes Kanter should have gone 2nd to Kyrie. There's nothing close to a Kyrie in this draft. Kanter the clear #1.

I don't know on Favors pre-draft so no opinion. Definitely top 5, and probably top 3 due to size and athleticism given more priority.

That wasn't nice at all.. haha

My JazzFanz run started long before that draft, sir.

Oh, sorry, somehow I had in mind that Kanter's draft was when you started posting. Maybe it was just when you started posting in volume. ;-)

I think Favors would easily go #1. Kanter could too, but if in this scenario he misses the year at Kentucky that could be enough to push him down to 2 or 3, much like his original draft year.

That was my assumption in saying Favors #1 and Kanter #2. Had Kanter played, it could have very well been a toss-up between him and Irving. Guess we're glad he didn't. I wonder if the Jazz would have selected Williams or Valanciunas or gone with Knight.
 
Derrick would go #1.

It would be hard for Kanter to go #1 in any draft, no matter how weak. GM's are going to be hesitant to draft a player with barely any game film who had been out of competitive play for 2 years #1 overall.
