Your missing my point Williams isn't a wing therefor he won't start. Williams is another backup on this team.
2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date

I certainly don't disagree, but who is a sure-fire starter that we could draft?
Lol @ people saying we should pass on Dwill3 if he drops.
A week ago people are praying he falls to us, and now some of you are saying "meh I'll pass".

There are fantastic SF's in next years draft. Barnes, Miller, Thomas, Gilchrist .. just to name a few.
Right?!?! I'd like to shake your hand, sir!

This is what alot of Jazz fans are missing when they compare Millsap and Williams. Derrick Williams is not this undersized PF who mirrors everything Millsap does. Not only is he younger, more explosive and a better finisher around the rim, but he has a bigger wingspan and standing reach than Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Tyler Hansbrough, Al Horford, Udonis Haslem, Drew Gooden, Troy Murphy David Lee, and Josh Smith.
So let's say his transition to SF takes longer than expected or he just doesn't make it as an NBA-SF - fine, he still has the potential to be an above-average NBA PF and that makes him a pretty safe pick IMO.
Some new game footage of Enes Kanter is circulating from his prep school days. I'm watching one game now. It's fairly underwhelming stuff.
I don't know if he's just tired here or what but he looks really lethargic playing vs very weak competition. Getting destroyed on defense.

I don't think he can play 3, at least not full time. People keep comparing him to Pierce, but Pierce has a calm/cool handle. Like he is always in control. Williams looks kind of spastic when he dribbles.

I love how Locke got everyone to sour on Williams - just because he loves to think outside the box and show that he has some depth to his analysis besides all his elaborate spreadsheets. If Kanter is taken 2nd by the Wolves, then Stern should return to the pulpit in no less than 12 seconds to announce that the Jazz have drafted Derrick Williams from the University of Arizona. I think he would kill it at the 4, and still be great at the 3. We could use him however Ty sees fit to create mismatches. If all else fails, I can guarantee you we could get a decent haul for the guy.
