Enough of this speculation!

I haven't watched enough games to decide who is the best pick at five, but I found this video of Smart -vs- Wiggins pretty interesting.

Do you remember when Hayward had a good defensive game against Kobe? ONe game doesn't make a player great. One of the things that bugs me about Smart is he flops, last thing I want to hear is other fans complaining about his flopping. :D

Smart is a very good player and I would be more incline to take him if the Jazz hadn't used two first to move up and get Trey, jazz fanz seem to have already given up on this kid who had a decent rookie year (all rookie team). IF the Jazz feel he is the best player at 5 then I will be fine with it. However, all these players that are in the Jazz range have flaws and it is anyone's guess which is the best player for this team. It would be nice to have a coach so we know what style of player the team is going to have moving forward.

Drafting Smart makes me throw up in my mouth. He is the next Quinn Buckner. He has a broken jump shot and I don't think he will ever shoot above 40%. Smart could bully guards in college, not so much in the pros. I know the Jazz are far from having a complete team, but I just can't see them throwing Trey to the side and draft a potential starter. I'm willing to bet we drop down in the draft and get someone like Nik Stauskas or McDermott.

Yeah, he's the strongest PG in the history of the combine. Definitely won't be bullying anyone in the NBA.

He compared Smart to Quinn Buckner. Unless he says he made a mistake and maybe meant somebody else, he has no credibility at least as it pertains to Smart.

slow? unlike u, it seems he can defend multiply positions with his really good lateral quickness. He's gonna break the screens while defending PnR and let us score lots of fast break points opposite of Corbin's team.
 
Marcus Smart is a head case and I want no part of a top 5 pick being a head case, smells like DeMarcus Cousins a little and a little Ron Artest. When Dennis Lindsey and Walt Perrin talk about franchise type players, Marcus Smart, doesn't come to mind, and that's who they want to draft, a franchise type player, my bet is one of those teams at 2 or 3 will want to shed a bad contract, fleece the Jazz for all their good draft picks, and I imagine a youngster or two from this roster, but it's the price they're willing to pay because they want a franchise type player like a Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker. It's the reason we have been in assets accumulation mode since the moment we did not re-sign Millsap or Big Al, for this very moment, and it will pay off, we moved up 3 spots in the very deep DWill draft and we will do it again with a lot more assets.

smart ain't PG for us. he will play 2, will be our joe dumars

it's not like trey hogs the ball anyway. he will be just fine as playing 2. my beef is that we would have the smallest backcourt which concerns me. smart is wide as hell and built like pitbull, so he will be fine, but as a unit, you still want some length and height on your backcourt.

i think you don't have quite the grasp of the English language that is necessary to effectively communicate your view.

You're comparing me, a fan, who sits at a desk all day, to a college basketball star, and using the difference in our abilities to guard a pick and roll as evidence of a players "speed".
I had a legitimate question, of which I didn't know the answer.
It may be the language barrier, but you just come off as a douche trying to make a point with no merit.
