I'd be ok with that draft, though depending on who was there other than Thompson (like I'd rather see the Jazz get Biyombo if he was still on the board).
2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date

That's not a good draft in my opinion.
1. Knight over Kanter is not taking the BPA.
2. We already have a starting PG for two more years. While Harris isn't perfect, he fills the PG fine for now, resign Earl, and we are fine for now.
3. You really want another weak 2/3 who doesn't defend, isn't athlectic, isn't strong, and loves his own shot? I don't
There will be plently of big men available at both slots. We have a chance to get bigger, more defensive, tougher, and we go with these two softies?
I really like knight, but not over Kanter, and not at all with Klay.
This would be an epic fail in my eyes.

A-frickin-men. Show me the video clips of Kantor playing. NOBODY (unless KOC posts on this board) knows if Kanter is any good. NOBODY on this board has seen the kid play. Just because Kanter is bigger doesn't mean he is better.
Edit: That doesn't mean I am anti-Kanter. I just don't know. I think Knight is safer, but I haven't seen Kanter play (which is probably why I think Knight is safer).
In KOC I trust.

So I guess we can cross Marcus Morris off the Jazz's draft board. He ripped Singleton to shreds to reporters after the workout and then told reporters he was the most complete player in the draft. Walt Perrin's response, "He opinion doesn't matter on draft day." Ha. Well, that clears things up a little.
Dude, does a lot of talking. Not exactly the type of player the Jazz like. On K. Thompson, i worry too that he will turn out to be a Mo Almond. Sounds like he should be better, but Knight and Thompson would not exactly excite me.

If you're going to make a mistake, make it a big one.
Thanks youngblood.
I agree with this. In terms of prospects, a decent sized PG with developing PG skills, and average athleticism comes every draft. A 6'11" 260 lbs big man with skills is not nearly as common.
I think the Jazz will go with Knight.
But the superior prospect IMO, is Kanter.

He is not an average ******* athlete. How dumb can you be? The guy ran one of the fastest sprints and has a 37 max vertical.
Well, put in context Perrin's remark isn't that bad. He basically said (I'm paraphrasing from memory), "That might be true right now, but we have to consider where a player will be a year or two from now. And Marcus almost certainly will NOT be the most complete player in this draft, then. So [said with a smile] fortunately his opinion doesn't matter on draft day."
