How is Vesely's defense? I mean, he's long like AK - longer actually - but is he a shot blocker? Is he what we hoped AK would be become but only teased us with? Because I think many people are tired of being teased.

I like to be teased....

Personally, my ideal Jazz draft would be...

#3 Jan Vesely
#12 Marshon Brooks

But, if the Jazz draft Jimmer, I'll understand. Team needs a PG of the future and Jimmer plays a lot like D-Will minus the tattoos.

Two comments from fords chat yesterday. So when will we get over this kanter love fest and realize knight is the pick? Dont be stupid and say fords an idiot, because that would make you neandrathal like in comparison regarding prospects.

Brad (OR)

Can you make the case that Knight could be a better pro than Irving?
Chad Ford**(1:36 PM)

Yes. He's bigger. A better athlete. He progressed a lot during his freshman year. All of the mistakes he makes are fixable. Irving is further along in his development, but Knight has the physical tools to overtake him if it all comes together for him.

Wally (Florida)

Enes Kanter closer to Darko or Bynum?
Chad Ford**(1:31 PM)

Like both of those guys, he's a major gamble. He has the physical tools and the talent. But you're rolling the dice. I will say that I think he might have a better shot than Darko just because he's got a much better attitude and work ethic. But anyone who tells you they know he's going to be a star or a bust is full of it. We just don't have enough game film to know for sure. But the talent is there.

By the way, Knight has lots of intangibles, a great shooting stroke, a TOTAL class kid, very very smart, and I feel he's loooow risk. Having said that, he stagnated our offense last year in the half court. His first-step was slow (he's not slow, he just has to learn to use it) and he overly avoids contact.

He will NOT bust (opinion) and will earn whatever spot he's selected at, but he does have a way to go.

For what it's worth, us Kentucky knuckle-draggers really do think Chad Ford is VERY (no, extremely) limited in his knowledge of specific players. We prefer to look at the local writers for our information on recruits (as a national guy simply can't know them all) and then compare that to what national guys are saying. All in all, the local guys are simply better (unless it's Jazz homerism, jk).

Ford gets many opinions from gms and real scouts. He does not just make **** up. Local guys are usually biased and simply retarded and in kentucky being retarded has crap load of other meanings.

Reading this has me thinking williams secretly hopes he falls to the jazz. I have nt heard him even talk about the third pick as he says he is top two at worst in other interviews. Here he mentions top 3 multiple times. Not that it matters really.

I had to laugh when I read this line:

Williams is athletic, he is nearly 6-9, he has a 7-1 wingspan and, realistically, it’s a lot tougher to find a power forward than a small forward. It’s hard not to look at him and see power forward.

Its harder to find a pf than a sf? For who? Certainly not the Jazz. The jazz have no trouble loading thier roster with 3 or 4 pfs and have been searching for small forwards since Kelly Tripuka.

The last comment on Kanter by Ford about the talent seems to indicate he could be a worthy gamble. Also anybody who claims they absolutely know that Knight will be better than Kanter is full of it. Personally I do read Ford's stuff more than anybody else's draft stuff.
