2011 draft.....

No. It's just that every pick has a chance to move into the top 3 picks. Pick 6 has a greater percentage chance than pick 12 but they both have a chance. Highly unlikely they both move into the top 3, but it's technically possible.

It would be nice if just one of them did let alone if 2 miraculously did. I want Irving pretty badly.
 
Perry Jones is a SF. Thurl Bailey clone.

He could play alongside PFs Millsap, Favors and Harrington.

Jan Vesely is a SF too.

I think #6 is between Perry Jones, Jan Vesely and Jimmer.

Don't think Harrison Barnes will fall past #3.

I agree. We are going to have to have some luck to be able to draft Barnes, Irving, or even Williams for that matter.

We need to package the two picks [and more if needed (Miles?) to move up to 3 or 4 (or higher of possible) and get Irving, Williams or Barnes.

Exactly. If we are sold on any of the top picks we need to go get them. If KOC believes one of these guys is the real deal he needs
to be aggressive. He did it with Deron, so it's possible. Washington, or Sac will bite...

On the other hand if we ended up with something like Kanter and Walker how could you not be thrilled about that?
 
So I take it they will differentiate the Jazz's lotto balls so in the rare case the 4 or whatever that the Jazz get for the 12th/13th pick get in the top 3 that the Jazz will still have the Nets pick at 7 or 8.

At #6, the candidates are:
Jimmer Fredette 6-2 200 PG

We should probably try to move up, so nobody else gets him first.



Seriously though, it just ain't happening at #6. Good chance at #12, but I think there's a potential for a major meltdown among Jimmer fans, depending on who's left on the board.

Just for kicks, here's a PG ranking from DA. Walker at #2, Jimmer at #5.

If you love BYU this much, then you need to stop pretending to evaluate talent. You've probably lost any respect you might have gained from the people on this board.

Up until the losses at HOU and MEM I had been holding on to all hope that we'd make the playoffs so that we could avoid the ~12th pick in this draft. But, now that missing the playoffs is a near certainty I'm trying to get on the Kemba Walker bandwagon. The scary thing is that I don't have any faith that the FO will pass on Jimmer at that spot -- taking him over Walker.

I'm souring a bit on Kanter since our need for a shooter far surpasses our needs for a Walker-Kanter rookie crop. I'm hoping for a Williams or Barnes + Walker selections right now, but I'm sure that'll change.

Irving would be amazing, but I worry about trading both picks in order to move up to get him. IMO, we need to get the best wing possible.
 
I like the idea of packaging the two lottery picks for a higher pick IF we don't land a top three pick. If somehow lady luck visits the Jazz and we end up with a third, second, or first pick.. keep the picks! I really like Barnes.
