2011 draft.....

I mentioned him a couple times for the 12th pick. He would be a steal at 12, but I doubt he lasts that long. Some draft's have had him anywhere from 4-11
 
We want him in the draft even if we cant get him. If he is there, that means someone else is dropping another spot to us.
 
Colorado's Alec Burks -- whom one assistant general manager thinks could also play some point guard in the NBA -- has a mid-range game that is a rarity among guards these days.

"What he'll have to work on is to be a threat at the 3-point line so the rest of his game will be just as effective," a Southeast Division personnel man said. "He's good at the one-two [dribble] and pull up, and he's good at the rim. He scores with trickery and not with the bounce. He doesn't have that last dribble like Jason Richardson, where he just takes a step and he's going to dunk on anybody. (But) when the shot clock is going down and all the coaches are yelling 'red!,' you can get the ball to Alec Burks, and he's going to manuever and get a shot. And that's highly valued in the NBA."

Scouts are less than impressed with Burks’ defense.

"He has no interest," the first Northwest scout said of Burks. "He won't go under, through, or behind (screens). He's got some issues. But we draft on talent, and he's very talented. He'll have the ball and he'll break you down. In space, he's (tough) ... great upside if he's willing to work. Something tells me (the work ethic) is not off the charts because he hasn't worked on his body at all. But the holes in his game are fixable."

Fix his holes and he is a possibility at pick 12.
 
Kemba Walker is doing his best CJ Miles impression. In fact Walker is looking more and more like a volume scorer. In other words do we need a less talented Allen Iverson?

No, but hopefully some other GM becomes enamored of him and drafts him in the top 5, sliding someone else down to the Jazz.
 
If Jeremy Lamb declares for the draft, I would love to see the Jazz take him at #12. He is a great shooting guard with great length and took over the second half for UConn. Would be a perfect fit at shooting guard for the Jazz, anybody agree with me?
 
I think the Jazz should guarantee Lamb a 12 pick to entice him enter. He is not an exceptionally athletic SG, but long as hell and a great shooter.
