2011 draft.....

With the looming lockout, there's a really good chance many of the top prospects will not enter the 2011 draft. Many of them are a afraid the lockout will be a long one, and hurt their development and potential draft position in 2012.

This pick we got is not looking so hot right now, unless we can package it for something.

This is currently my biggest concern with the package we got for Deron.

But let's pretend that the draft plays out like any other and the Jazz don't make the playoffs. I'd like Jordan Hamilton with the Jazz's pick (assuming he doesn't fly up the draft boards or plummet).

I need to do some more research on Kemba Walker, but obviously there are some question marks there even if he's had some amazing games.
 
Let's not forget that farting the rest of the way through the season improves our own 2nd round pick.

...

We have a 2nd round pick this year, right?
 
Cleveland's #1 guy is Irving too. Let's hope the lotto balls do well by us.

The Cavs also have the Clips 1st rounder. Good for them.

People keep talking about Harrison Barnes as a good pick.
Is this the same Harrison Barnes that shoots 40%, 31% from 3pt range and gets .6 steals and .4 blocks a game? Is this really who we want as a wing player?

I do like Leonard from SDSU, he is a stud. He also doesn't shoot that great, but he is a good defender, and a great rebounder.

I like Derrick Williams a lot. He can rebound, is a good defender, and is shooting 60+% from the field, and almost 63% from 3pt range.

As to SG, the only one I've seen that would be worth a pick is that Brooks kid from Providence. Look him up.

Yah,and Barnes is also only 18 years old. His body is not even full grown yet. The Jazz are young enough now they could take a gamble on this guy rather than drafting a quality "system" guy like Jimmer. You only need a couple system guys and Hayward is enough for me.
 
I just hope somehow the Jazz could land Derrick Williams. He is the complete package. If not him, I'd really hope for Harrison Barnes or Terrance Jones.
 
I watch quite a bit of college basketball, trust me when I say that Hayward is a better 2-guard than Harrison Barnes.

If Irving doesn't come out this year, trade our Net's first for a team that's gonna have a lottery pick next year and take Irving and Austin Rivers (Doc's son). That would be one hell of a backcourt for the future.

Really depends on how many of the freshman stay in school. If they all declare I dont think it will be to bad.

If there is a lockout then this draft will suck big time. The good college players will stay in school one more year instead of opting for the NBA. So this draft could really suck. With DW going to NJ perhaps they improve enough to keep the Jazz from getting a higher pick. I am not so worried about that because their division is pretty tough especially now that NY has Melo and Billups. Maybe DW gets his wrist hurt and the Nets beat out Washington for worse record.

I was wondering the same thing. Trouble is, there probably wouldn't be any decision about a lock-out before the draft. So there will be lots of uncertainty. And according to this article, serious negotiating probably wouldn't begin until Nov. 15, when the players are set to receive their first paychecks.

I wonder if the uncertainty will cause some of the marginal players to sign overseas deal right away.

I don't know you but Jesus you just got me very excited.
 
I saw Terence Jones today. Guy is an athlete and tough but he plays more like a PF than a SF. His shot mechanics need a lot of work. He is a 66% FT shooter.

Harrison Barnes - didn't live up to all the hype. Few do but recently ha has been playing great. His percentages are probably done due to his slow start. I will keep my eye on him to see if he continues to develop. I think his transition to the NBA will be smoother than Jones because Jones is more of an inside player (at least the time I saw him).

Derrick Williams - He would be my pick except I am concerned that his true position is more PF than SF. He can shoot the lights out from anywhere. This is important because from what I've read he wasn't a great outside shooter when he was a Freshman.

Jimmer - I think he can play in the NBA. I think he would be a really good spark plug off the bench and the Jazz do need some one who can make a jumpshot coming off the bench. If the Jazz have a pick at 14, then I would definitely consider him.

I haven't really seen any of the other players. I would love to get Derrick Williams if he can play SF.

Harris
Hayward
Williams
AJ
Favors

Now that would be a young and talented starting squad.
 
My board right now is,
Derrick Williams (just because we need another "DWill.")
Kyrie Irving (but I hope we don't get him, we need wings more than a PG).
Perry Jones
Terrence Jones
Harrison Barnes
Kawhi Leonard
Jimmer

I put Jimmer in there becuase if we can;t get an impact SF, then we may as well get a replacement for Ronnie P. who can actually shoot. He'd fill the stands. KOC could then use the GS pick to trade for a wing.
