2011 draft.....

And why could only 5 guys do more than 21 minutes?
 
#3 - the Jazz can't lose.

But what with all the wings in the 2012 draft, coupled with the uncertainty of Dwill2's transition to the 3, I think I've got Kanter at the top of my personal draft board.
 
I think the treadmill test is for the player to run on the treadmill keeping their heart rate within a certain range and sustaining it for as long as they can. It's a test of cardiovascular efficiency and endurance.

So how do I declare for the draft? My name would be in the top 5 in at least one categoty.

Hamilton has natural scoring abilities that you can't teach. Shot selection is something that can be improved with experience and maturity. He improved tremendously between his freshman and sophomore years. Makes him VERY intriguing.

Also something interesting, I remember reading in an article about him in ESPN the Mag (I'll try to find a link if possible). It detailed how Rick Barnes polled NBA people on the best offense (they were struggling in their former system) to run and found the Jazz's system was highly respected. So he implemented sets into their offense that are similar to what the Jazz run. So Hamilton has already been exposed to the Jazz's system, to an extent. He can probably come in and contribute more right away than any other player we could get at 12 (and probably even at 3). He's pretty high up on my wish list.

Here's the article I was referring to, but it's an Insider article. The most interesting part:

Barnes scanned his roster and saw a versatile scorer in Hamilton and a pair of eager senior screeners, forward Gary Johnson and guard Dogus Balbay, not to mention two savvy incoming freshmen, forward Tristan Thompson and guard Cory Joseph, and decided it was time to scrap his one-dimensional, pick-and-roll game plan. He polled his NBA contacts about the toughest pro offenses, and when the Jazz emerged as the unanimous response, he flew to Salt Lake. Jazz GM Kevin O'Connor says he saw his team's imprint on the Longhorns as soon as the new season started. Flex cuts, screening the screener and weak-side curls had taken over the Erwin Center floor.

It's definitely something you would think KOC would take into consideration...
 
Chad Ford Mock 3.0

1. Kyrie Irving
2. Derrick Williams
3. Brandon Knight
The Jazz are looking at everything at this point. Trading up, trading down, trading out and then looking at a number of prospects at No. 3. Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, Jan Vesely, Jonas Valanciunas and Enes Kanter are all in the mix here.

But of that group, I think Knight has the edge. The Jazz love big guards, players who can defend multiple positions, guards who can shoot the basketball and high-character players. Knight checks off most of those boxes. The rest of the group all are a bit riskier.

4. Enes Kanter
5. Jan Vesely
6. Kawhi Leonard
7. Kemba Walker
8. Jonas Valanciunas
9. Bismack Biyombo
10. Tristan Thompson
11. Marcus Morris
12. Chris Singleton
With Andrei Kirilenko heading into free agency this summer, the Jazz are set to lose their most versatile defender. Enter Singleton. He's not the most polished offensive player in the world (sound familiar, AK-47 fans?), but his ability to guard multiple positions and his size for his position are intriguing for the Jazz. The question is, with Singleton rising on many draft boards … will he still be here at No. 12? Teams as high as the Raptors at No. 5 are looking at him.

14. Jordan Hamilton
15. Jimmer
