2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date
That is unless the Pacers somehow pick right before us. Then they well take Jimmer just to get back at us for taking there home town guy in Hayward.
I like Jimmer and that would be an interesting pick but it also makes me worry a little bit that with our 12th pick all we can get is a future undersized 2 guard who comes off the bench... (with Hayward now a lock at 2 and Jimmer definitely not a starting 1)

If Jimmer's available, the Jazz have to take him. The NBA is a business and Jimmer is probably worth a couple thousand season tickets (either new or in terms of retaining some that may otherwise not renew).
If Jimmer is gone, then I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jazz trade the rights to whoever they've drafted in a package for a veteran wing. Of course, that can't happen until after a new CBA is reached.

Would Memphis give us Mayo for the 12th pick so we don't have to be forced to pick the Jimmer
Good players for the #12 pick (if available): Vesely, Montiejunas (sp?), Leonard, Mirotic, Biyombo, Jimmer
If Terrence Jones were there that would be a coup, but I'm sure he'll be gone. I'd take T. Jones at 6 if Williams, Irving, Barnes, Kanter and Knight are gone.

Highlights of him below.
What position is he? He appears to be a PF to me, and about 6'8". But damn, he plays big. He looks like he has great hands and can palm the ball easily and thus go up, his arm extended very high, sort of like Duncan or Gasol, as he dunks.

There is no reason to be worried about that Bismarck kid's height. He's not just an elite athlete, he's rare. Just looking at the video, he would have wrecked college basketball. I'd be happy to teach him basketball for two years and draft him 6.
I guess the thing is that really, height hardly matters. It's the wingspan that creates the plays, except for vision. He definitely looks like a defensive contributor immediately and I think Ibaka is probably a decent comparison. Not a guy you'd mind having, especially at 12.
