2011 draft.....

If Hamilton can put up numbers like that in the NBA then you obviously pick him at 12. Things I've heard about his head and his D concern me, but I agree he's definitely in play at 12. I would not be upset if the Jazz got him there.

The Jazz definitely need a natural scorer.

What's a natural scorer?

I don't get the difference between a natural scorer and whatever the opposite is (artificial scorer)?

this is a serious post btw.
 
Yeah, Knight and Jones in draft now. No agent but doubt they pull out. Both are definite possibilities. One thing I like about Jones is that he would help our rebounding out a lot. Averaged about 9 boards a game.
 
So much will change from now until draft night, which is exciting. I remember last year some Jazzfanz posters said Favors wouldn't be a good pick because his stats weren't huge/he played for a cruddy college team/he had limited skill-set. Luckily, KOC was sprung for Favors.

So we have two lottery picks from last year's draft and we'll have two lottery picks from this year's draft. That's pretty cool...

I assume someone who can score without help (natural) versus someone who needs to come off screens, curls, or have someone else help him get a shot. Korver vs Carmelo. That would be my guess.

I think the better comparison is Granger vs. AK. Put your hate away for a minute and think about it.
 
In my book a natural scorer is someone who naturally and easily flow through different scoring plays. If the defender is overplaying their jumper they can drive. If the 2nd defender comes they can easily make an adjustment.

Other players just develop a skill- a set jumper, a pull jumper and their basic layup. When the defense forces them into something different they are awkward and unable to adapt.

So I guess it is a statement about coordination, balance, basketball IQ and basketball instincts.

Raja Bell is not a natural scorer. Jimmer Freddette is.
 
So I'm lazy and don't feel like looking it up, but does anybody know when the lottery order is announced? Also when is the draft?
 
I forgot to mention this in my earlier post on Alec Burks, but the player he keeps on reminding me of is Evan Turner. Better scorer, not quite as good of a passer, pretty decent defender/rebounder. Obviously Burks is younger than Turner and performing better at his sophomore year than Turner did, but they just remind me of each other. I also feel that like Turner, Burks will need a year or two to really get used to the NBA....he has a much steeper learning curve than Hayward did, and it took Hayward a solid year.

Turner's much longer if I'm not mistaken, more of a 3, while Burks is a 2.
