2011 draft.....

Singleton is Corey Brewer. You can't take a guy with no offensive ability at 12 no matter how good a defender he is.

Yeah, i am a FSU alum and I think we can probably do better even in a weak draft. He was a nonfactor for FSU in the tournament, but to be fair he had just come back from an injury.

That is my worse fear. Singleton does appear to have more of a spot up game than Brewer does though. He appears to have the talent and skills, but does he have the "it" factor to produce consistently.

The guy can't score. Plain and simple. He's not going to translate to the pros. His ceiling is way too low to spend the 12th pick on.

Assuming Minne takes Williams...

Kanter wants to play for Washington apparently by watching the tweets.

Trade the 3rd pick for the 6th and the 18th?

I think you still could get knight at 6, draft singleton or a foreign at 12 and appease the Jimmer fans by taking him at 18 (a more realistic spot for him).

Unless he vehemently stated that he did not want to play in Utah, then I would have no reservations taking him at 3. The only reason he has to be thinking those places is that he sees immediate playing time there. I mean who would honestly want to live in Minnesota or Cleveland?
 
I'll be honest I don't much about singleton, I just threw his name out there for conversation. If not him, we take BPA at 12, whoever that is. I like Kanter a lot, but I think a combo of Knight + Jimmer(or whoever else at 18th) > Kanter.

Knight + Jimmer = no sense, Kanter + Jimmer = sense
 
I've just watched the combine. It would be very difficult to pass Kanter if he is still available at #3. Kid has the talent. I really liked the power dunks that shook the basket.

I also am a sucker for a basket shaking dunk. Sometimes I would lower the basket in my driveway to the 8' mark and bust out my parents Hi8 camcorder and do my own version of "boooom-shacka-lacka".....very similar to what you saw today. I also have a bit of a sweet tooth.........
 
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.

Kanter would see limited minutes until he either earns more minutes or someone is moved. I think this is why Kanter didn't mention Utah as one of his preferred teams because immediate minutes will be difficult to come by.
