Isn't there a clear difference between Dennis Lindsey and Kevin O'Connor ?

What? He averages 12/8 on 50% shooting. He is young and hasn't even touched his potential. You are going to give up on a young big man that will average 20/10 for Nik Friggin Stauskus?

Kanter is not going to average 20/10. His defensive limitations won't allow him to stay on the floor enough to do that. And since when 7.5 is 8?
 
So for fun I was trying to guess the Jazz picks if KOC was in charge, vs who they will pick with DOL in charge. Trouble is I still don't know enough about DOL to guess what he will do.

My biggest question for the draft and the offseason is how does DOL value the KOC players Burks and Kanter.

Nope you are too smart for me. A person who would trade a young skilled 6'11 big man that was 3rd pick in the draft for Nik Stauskas and a late 1st round pick is clearly a genius.

You aren't looking at the big picture. You have to be able to look down the road and see how these contracts could play out. If you don't then that's how you lose assets for nothing.

Lol are you messing with me? Nik Stauksas sucks at defense and is slow as mud. You really want him guarding starting 2 guards in this league?

I would trade young skilled 7 footer nr 2 pick for Stauskas in a second given a chance ( if you know which 2d draft pick I am talking).
How high player was selected has nothing to do with his value. Do you think Kanter would go as high now after we had seen him for 3 years in NBA? T.Thompson, D.Williams, Kanter, Vesely, Byombo - all this guys would not go where they went. They were all overvalued prior to the draft. While Valanciunas, Klay Thompson, Walker, Leonard, Vucevic, Parsons would certainly be selected higher.

I read an interesting bit from Toronto, who said they had Leonard #2 on their draft board behind Valanciunas (I'm guessing of players still available) but they may not have taken Leonard if Valanciunas was gone because it would have been a tough sell to the fans.

I wonder how much the perceived fan opinion plays into the decision making of some teams.

Kanter has his limitations. He still has yet to prove he should have went 3rd overall. I'd take Kay Thompson over him in a heartbeat now.

Kanter has some promise too, but his lack of athleticism and his bone head plays worry me.
