2011 draft.....

On the downside, Biyombo is a very poor passer. He registered an assist on just 4% of his possessions, ranking him amongst the worst in this category in the ACB.

His desire to make his presence felt, while an admirable trait, tends to work against him in this regard, especially when looking at his turnover rate, which is fairly high relative to his usage.

This is where his lack of experience shows the most. It's not rare to see him barrel into opponents, get called for traveling violations or have the ball stripped due to his somewhat weak hands. Additionally, he doesn't show anything resembling a jump shot at the moment and converts just 53% of his free throw attempts. While his touch is not bad, his shooting mechanics are a bit rigid, something he'll need to work on to become at least a capable threat from the mid-range area.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm No - I don't think I want him at 6, maybe at 12.

Everyone outside of Irving has some major flaws. These are valid points, but they don't knock him out of the 6th slot in this weak draft.
If you look at the entire picture he is still a valid choice at #6.

I really like Leonard.... Gerald Wallace anyone?

Relentless competitor. Will play sick and injured. Something we haven't had @ SF for a really long time. It would be so refreshing to see a Utah Jazz SF play with some intensity, strength, and toughness after watching so many years of the complete opposite.

Can jump out the gym, run like a deer, lock people down defensively, and can finish at the rim as well as anyone in college. I'd love this draft if we ended up with some size (Biyombo or someone big) and Leonard.

We'd still really lack a good outside shooter. But I'm not really sure there are many of those in this draft... At least this year we hopefully can address size, interior defense, and speed on the perimeter.

Leonard isn't a freakish leaper like Gerald Wallace. I see him as more of a slightly quicker, much less crazy Ron Artest.

What position would he play in the NBA? As a 4 he is undersized. As a wing he is not that great of a shooter.
 
Also, if we dont go PG at 6. We should look at either drafting, or trading down to draft Reggie Jackson from Boston College. 6'3 PG, 7-0 wingspan good assist #'s and great FG and 3PT %, really athletic. Next Westbrook?
 
In all the years I have followed basketball and the draft, this is the biggest gap between the top of the board and the rest. The worst pick in this draft is going to be #3, and I expect the Jazz to get it.

Feel the same way. 2 studs and a lot of what ifs.
