2011 draft.....

[Thee Jazz Fan]

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.

BYU fans are the worst, and the biggest homers I've ever seen!

I'd rather have Kemba, Knight or Irving than Devin, so if Devin can be moved for a decent wing player, and one of those guys is available (and the BPA), you gotta pull the trigger.

It looks like Barnes is projected to go #4 at this point. Think we could package #6/#12 to move up and get him? We need a wing desperately, and other than Barnes we're looking at Vesely or Burks.

Magic Johnson, Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose all say Jimmer is the real deal and have high praise for him. In fact, Durant and Rose both played against Jimmer last summer, so I think they know what they're talking about.

In addition to them, David West was interviewed by Jim Rome today, and he said Jimmer would be able to take his game to the NBA and would do well. Anybody that can shoot, and score like that has a place there. (paraphrase)
It seems the players think there is a spot for him

True. Michael Jordan's proven to be such a great assessor of talent.

These professional, or former professional basketball players are all filler. Of course we all realize you, as an anonymous forum poster will always have the most insight and knowledge of what it takes to make it in the NBA. I just forgot to mention it in my earlier post. I apologize for my omission of this detail.

Been on the Irving bandwagon for over a year. Having said that I would be really stoked if the Jazz got Knight from Kentucky. Kid was a two-time National Gatorade player of the year. Only two other people have done that. Lebron, and another guy that's played in about 82 games over 4 years and is apparently well endowed. Depending on where we end up in the draft, if we stay at 12 with our pick, and Irving is off the board with the NJ pick, I would take BPA (Barnes, Williams, Kanter??) with the NJ pick and then do what I could to take Knight with our pick.

With regards to The Jimmer. I'm as big a fan as any of the kid. Perhaps the greatest Utah collegiate basketball player ever. However, let's be honest, the kid's career will be a back-up point guard in the league. If the Jazz draft him, it will only be so they can sub him in at the end of every quarter when there's 35 seconds, as he is the perfect player to run our "2 for 1" offense where we jack up an ill-advised 3 from 27 ft. If the Jazz do take him (please let it be with our pick), I would have hopes for the next Jason Terry.

Now you're calling BYU fans phat?
I don't think there is a single college that doesn't have a fair number of "Large" fans.
You should get out a little bit more, visit some other colleges.

On a side note I have noticed that BYU does have quite a few of the "biggest haters" I've ever seen!
I'm talking "break a bridge" big.... and that's just their ego.
They are so full of hate they can't see a good thing because it has to do with the school they hate so much.

Just wondering how many people said the same about John Stockton? Jimmer already shows flashes of being a good passes and paired with better players I think he will be a very solid distributor.

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?

Then trade Millsap for a wing by the trade deadline if Kanter appears to be the real deal.

I agree, bpa with nj pick, then night with ours. My opinion is open to change depending on more research ie, this weekend. I am firmly in the camp that d harris isn't the future for the team. He looks for his own too much.

Believe he has another 3 years on his contract though. But if we do draft the PG of the future his contract isnt to horrible so hopefully we can trade him.

Huge difference between a freak accident with a knee cap and an ACL.

The long history of stiff bigmen with bad wheels is almost unbearable. Pass on tissues I mean euros I mean Kanter.

Americans win championships. Euros win competitions that don't matter. The most ring rich euro couldn't even get out of the first round with Kobe bailing his *** out. And even then, Gasol is their 4th most important player. Kobe, Bynum, Odom, and Gasol. Without Bynum, an American, the Lakers would struggle to even get out of the 2nd round.

Wow. Calling you a trolling xenophobe would be letting you off the hook.

P.S. Bynum didn't play in the 08 playoffs where the Lakers went to the finals playing an oversized PF at C that they integrated mid-season. Bynum was also practically useless in the 09 playoffs because he didn't have toughness or strength under duress like you claim is only a trait of an American.

Manu Ginobili is waving with his rings and gold medal.

Hakeem Olajuwan - who did more with less than anyone I can think of in NBA history - was really American, though. So American, in fact, that I believe he was born in Kansastucky.

Have fun at Stadium of Fire.

2 years.
