2011 draft.....

I'd be okay with the Jazz drafting Jimmer with their 2nd pick. I think he's smart enough to be a surprisingly good player in the league. A guy who can put the ball on the floor and score on a dime from anywhere, as well as make great passes, is definitely a great asset to have. That's one thing the Jazz lack.

I'm hoping the Jazz can get a real impact player with the first pick though.

I would be very happy with Jimmer as our 2nd pick. I'd like to use him like the Mavs use Jason Terry. Play him 20-30 minutes and just let him worry about scoring, we could really use his offensive boost off the bench. With the 1st pick I'd obviously be happy with Irving, but that's a pipedream. I'd be happy with Barnes and Kanter though. Wish this draft was just a bit stronger this year since we're gonna have 2 lottery picks.

I thought of this comparison, a smooth 6'8" forward, but I think Barnes is more of a face-up shooter, like Rashard Lewis or Steve Smith.

Barnes physically resembles Cheaney more than their games. Barnes as a 19 year old plays a lot like a 7 year pro version of Rashard Lewis. Barnes has three moves that I have seen consistently- spot up and shoot, one dribble left and shoot or drive all the way to the hoop.

Barnes sounds a lot like Hayward doesn't he?
Would Jazz want another Hayward type player?
Good or bad idea?

Despite being a similar height they don't play at all alike to me. When Barnes has the ball he is looking to score. Hayward is considering his jumper or he is looking to create.

I just don't see Barnes leading an NBA team to glory, but he could be a decent 2nd or 3rd option.

Is there any player in this draft that can lead his team to NBA glory? King James couldn't do it by himself either. Jazz need a lot of help so getting very good players with potential to be stars is what you hope for. I am find with Harrison Barnes being a 2nd or 3rd option since right now our second option is Harris and our third is either CJ or AK. The Jazz need a lot of help. The thing I like about Barnes the most is he is not afraid to take the important shot. Unless the Jazz somehow get a top 3 or 4 pick I doubt he will even be there.
 
Jazz need to get Barnes. Whether it means trading their picks or a player. He's going to be a good player, and he seems he can make a shot. With Favors being 20, Hayward being 21 and Barnes being a rookie, I think the Jazz could trade some of their picks, and still have plenty of youth for the future.
 
I'm pretty sure the Jazz will have the opportunity to draft Barnes, even if I'm not sure that they should (volume scorer that gets most of his looks in isos, aka is a chucker).
 
You obviously didn't watch his game today. He got a lot of his 3's off of screens and got some baskets off O boards as well and other set plays.

I would love to get Barnes and Kanter. More than giving up a pick to move up to get Irving. Give me a good PG, but not a max money one. Max money PGs don't win championships.
But getting both Barnes and Kanter seems too good to be true. Might get one of them with the Jersey pick. And Jimmer with the second pick would be nice consolation prize. Things looks good. The Jazz are doing their part. Now if only Jersey would go back to losing games.
 
You're right, I didn't see the game. I didn't know he had a good one until in caught up on this thread. Obviously this will raise his stock.
 
I noticed Barnes sneaking in and stealing rebounds away from guys. It was some nice hustle play. He's better than CJ.
