Well, maybe. Is that the best you can get for Millsap? Lopez fills a need and Millsap is undersized in the Jazz PF logjam. But Millsap is really good so I'm still hesitant.
2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date

He looks at least as good as Roddy Beaubois.
As long as he doesn't furk things up...

Back to that Barnes/Jones comparison, IMO Barnes is clearly head-and-shoulders above Jones - because Barnes has obvious potential to be an elite scorer and top-20 player in the NBA. And he seems to have his head screwed on right.
However in this draft, I think the Jazz could to alot worse than Terrance Jones at #6. 6-8, explosive, can handle - basically can do a little bit of everything. Only 19, if he becomes proficient in one or two areas he could be a stud at SF.

I agree. It's between Bimbo and Jones for me at #6. And while I love Bimbo's highlights and apparent standing reach and defensive prowess, I think I may be leaning toward Jones for the reasons you mentioned. Add in the fact that there's a chance that Bimbo could slip to #12 and that puts it over the top for me to take Jones at #6 right now.
While you're right, I see a lot of CJ Miles/bad Lamar Odom potential there. And that's a ****ing headache.

So who would you take?
If the Jazz get the 2nd pick somehow and are practically forced to take Williams, then this isn't bad. The thing I like about Williams the least are the Millsap implications. Can you really afford to have two players so similar and both being tweener-ish? Can you justify anyone else with the 2nd pick? And at the same time, can you afford to get rid of a proven very good player for what might be Evan Turner 2.0?
Roll of the dice.

Definitely agree about the "LA-Clipper Lamar Odom" parallels. The questions about his "motor" definitely scare me - but then again people were questioning Favors' motor coming out of Ga Tech. Jones definitely would have more structure here than Odom did w/LAC (bunch of young guys and Gentry ran a pretty loose ship there). Disagree on the CJ-comparison (CJ was a 2nd-round pick who barely saw PT his first 2 1/2 seasons of his career).
This is such a weak draft there just aren't many "clean prospects" so every guy is going to have some substantial flaws. Again it comes back to the dilemna of taking the guy who probably can be a solid but not great player - or a guy with tons of potential who may fizzle out or who may explode - and in this crapshoot I have no idea what the correct approach should be.
