There are a bunch of 2011 NBA draft websites, I thought it would be nice to create a thread with some links to informative draft sites. Toss us a link if you have one. Came across this interesting site today, it gives profiles of some of the European bigs that are pretty detailed, but who...

Williams/Knight is the best realistic combo they can get, in my opinion.

Not always true. Kevin Durant, D-Wade, Kobe, etc... all turned franchises around. You don't have to start with a PG and center.

Cleveland needs everything. And they are not set at the SF/PF, as you can see from their depth chart below. PG is not their only need. Here is their Depth Chart, according to ESPN: PG:Ramon Sessions Baron Davis SG:Anthony Parker Daniel Gibson Manny Harris SF: Alonzo Gee, Christian...

So, just to double check, you think there is a 0% chance that Cleveland takes Derrick Williams? I don't buy it.

It is entirely possible Kyrie Irving is our choice as well, as many have stated. It is not too hard to see how that happens. It happens if: 1. Cleveland takes Derrick Williams as #1 2. Kahn decides he doesn't need another PG, as Rubio is the future for them there. At least that is what he...

That would be great, unless Cleveland takes Williams with the 1st, which is what they should do.

Maynor will never be a franchise PG. He will never be a top 15 PG. Something I think Knight can become. That being said, I thought Maynor was a great backup.

It is very possible the Kyrie Irving and Brandon Knight fall to #3. Who would we rather have? Have we seen enough of Irving to be confident he's the better selection?

Not many wings in this draft, obviously. I never said there were. I was simply stating that taking Kanter doesn't fill our need. That said, I would take him 3. I'm just having a hard time taking somebody at 3 when we have holes in other places, even though I'm convinced it's the right move...

Great problem, but taking Kanter (who I like) does nothing to help with the obvious need we have at SG/SF.

I heard someone mention this elsewhere, but if we take Kanter, what would people think of a straight up trade of Big Al Jefferson for Iguodala? I'm not a big fan of Iguodala's, but he would fill a hole at SF. I don't know if Philly would bite on that one, though. The money is about the same...

What's our rotation like if we take Kanter? Seems like we would have to trade/get rid of somebody to make room for the minutes he'll need.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/706487-nba-draft-2011-five-wisest-ways-for-the-utah-jazz-to-use-their-draft-picks I actually thought this was a great article about top 5 ways the Jazz should use their picks. Although I would swap #2 and #4.

I think we have a shot at Derrick Williams or Kyrie Irving. I think Minnesota won't take Williams, due to already having that position filled. I think Kanter will shock some people in workouts and Minny will take him at #2, unless they trade their pick. If Irving goes to Cleveland, Williams...

They interviewed Kanter today and asked where he wants to go. He said Washington, Cleveland, or Minnesota. Thanks for leaving Utah out you d-bag.

Chad Ford just tweeted this Just got word Enes Kanter will be doing drills at combine tomorrow. He should be the main attraction. It will be nice to see how he does tomorrow!

I just threw up in my mouth. *shudder*

Anybody heard of Marshon Brooks? Chad Ford talked about him today, and Bleacher Report wrote this article about him. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/702931-nba-draft-2011-watch-marshon-brooks-workout-with-tim-grover Here is what Chad Ford said, quoted from Bleacher Report: Within...

Interesting stuff on Kanter and Singelton on Hoopshype today. https://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm While I initially believed that Kanter's year off would hurt his draft stock, I'm no longer concerned after talking with a number of NBA execs. Virtually every team I spoke with has him as a...
