2011 Draft - Who don't you want?

Given the players that have been projected at or around 3 over the last 2 months, who would you kill KOC for taking there? Who at 12?

For me (AT 3), I want no part of:

  • Vesely (looks very awkward on his drives, poor FT shooter)
  • Leonard (a few days ago I thought he was 6th-pick-worthy, now I don't think he is top 10 material, not buying his "elite" athleticism and ability to be a lockdown defender, esp. now given combine athletic tests, think Singleton outdoes him in most aspects)
  • Valanciunas (just overall not impressed, puts up good stats, but eyeball test doesn't pass for me)

Meaning I'm ecstatic-to-ok with Irving, Williams, Kanter, Knight, Walker, heck, I can even understand a BIG reach for Biyombo.

At 12, KOC better stay away from:

  • Marcus (and esp. Markieff) Morris (small PF's, bad length)
  • Faried (another Millsap when we are already jammed at the position)
  • Any of the other SF's if Singleton is still on the board
 
#3 Just say no list
Leonard, no vertical. Unproven shooter.
Knight, SG in PG body.
Walker, tiny, no 3 point shot.
Vesely, athlete with no bankable skills to actually play SF. 21 years old
Biyombo, no offense takes him out of the equation at #3

12 Just say no list
Clay Thompson, just get selfish Mo Almond vibes from him so like Hayward at SG
Markhief Morris, finesse PF have no need for him
 
Right before the Jazz pick was announced last year, I said, "As long as they don't pick Gordon Hayward, it won't be an awful pick." In that light, as long as they don't pick,

Williams
Kantor
Knight
Irving

It won't be an awful pick. Here is to hoping.
 
At #3 I say no to anyone who ISN'T Irving, Williams, Kanter, Knight and maybe Walker. That doesn't mean I love them all, but they are the only players who should be in the discussion at #3 (which is to say they should be in the discussion from #5 to #8 in any other draft). I might eventually say no to some of them as well.

Honestly I'm not sure yet about #12 so I will abstain for the time being.
 
@3 - No to Knight, Walker and anyone not Irving, Williams, or Kanter.
@12 - No to Morris's, and anyone not Singleton, Biyombo, Knight, Jimmer, or Brooks
