2011 draft.....

[BENTLEY]

yeah, I was becoming interested in Vesely until I looked a little closer. He's cocky, I'll give ya that - but I've soured on him.

Until I hear something more concrete about his knees I'm still riding the Kanter train. Jazz will need top 3 to maybe get Barnes. I'm actually not sure who I like better for the Jazz between Kanter and Barnes.

Irving
Barnes
DWill2
Brandon Knight

Gotta pray the Jazz can land one of these guys with their first pick.

Also, Jonas Valanciunas looks like a far better prospect than either of the other Euros projected to go in the lottery. Great hands, great size, HUGE upside (which is what sets him apart from Kanter, who looks like a finished product).

I'll have to revisit Jonas. I know DX rates him the second best prospect in the draft. His length should make him a defensive force, but his skinny frame has me spooked. At least Kanter is thick and has an offensive game. But I guess I better give Jonas a second look, or 5th rather.

Unfortunately, Jonas apparently does have a pretty big buyout. Vesely is apparently determined to come over. He plays for one of the lower budget teams in Europe.

The same highlights everyone has watched. Dude has a solid base, great upper body strength, and nice touch on his J and around the basket. He should be a good rebounder as soon as he hits the NBA. Whether he can defend at the next level is another question, but he doesn't look like a completely useless player.


Vesely, on the other hand, can run and jump...and...well...

He doesn't have the strength to guard the 4 or the quickness to guard the 3.

Garbage.

I've seen the highlights and find them totally unimpressive. Like you said, he seems a finished product, and against far inferior talent in some euro white stiffs, he seems to really have to exert himself to grab the boards. What's going to happen when he faces worldy athletes in the NBA? In some respects, he does remind me of Love, like you said. But the collegiate Love. And one difference, in my opinion, is that Love can actually jump a little. More importantly, he came from NBA genes, knew how hard he had to work to become somebody in this league and did that in spades. He worked his *** off to lose weight and lower his body fat. He worked on his shooting big time. And so on. And dude still sucks on d. I see Kanter being a poor man's Love at best. And with the #6 pick, there's no way i can live with that. With the #12 pick, sure. But to get a guy who has no upside and appears to have no starter potential (in my opinion) is a complete waste of a pick. These are just my own thoughts based on his highlights of course.

Nolan Smith > Brandon Knight.....I'm just not a big fan of Knight to be honest, I think he'll be average, but nothing special. I wouldn't spend a lottery pick on him.

Oh geez. I LOVE Nolan Smith but he's a steady leader with solid skills, nothing more. He's not worth a lottery pick.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keith Van Horn????????????????????????????????????????????

Seriously????

Keith couldn't even hold Jimmer's jock.

Little Brother is so jealous it's hilarious! First they flood BYU game threads. Then they declare that Jimmer will be a bust (but of course, Alex Smith still has a future lol). Now they claim that KVH was better than Jimmer?

My hell....

First things first: your posts are degenerating lately, you are becoming a stereotype of yourself. Calm the **** down. I'm sorry the jazz are losing lately, and that you never get laid. We're all sorry.

Second: I really don't understand the hole "little brother" thing. I grew up in Utah, was raised a Ute fan, but had never heard the this particular phrase until it came up on this site. Care to explain? It doesn't have any historical accuracy that I can think of.

Third: there is, in fact, a strong argument that can be made that Keith Van Horn had a better college career than Jimmer. And, as far as "hold the jock" is concerned, I'm pretty sure that Jimmer hasn't played a single pro game yet, so shut the **** up.

Next will you guys be claiming that UFOs landed in Rice-Eccles today proclaiming that they were really behind the 08 recession and that the whole fate of NCAA Football rests on the shoulders of the Utes?

I don't know what's more entertaining.... Watching March Madness? Or watching Ute fans find ways to bash Jimmer? LOL hilarious hilarious hilarious. Not even Jimmy Fallon could out write some of you!

This just sums up your pathetic ***, doesn't it? Your fury is juvenile.

Dude got his *** NAOS-ed.

A stereotype of yourself? Do you mean parody?

When we're talking about the basketball at the professional level, then Walker > Jimmer. I won't debate this with you because God knows it to be true.
