2011 draft.....

Can someone convince me why Terence Jones is going to be something in the NBA other than guys like Jordan Hill, Mo Evans, Malik Allen, Steven Graham, Brandan Wright, Joey Dorsey? You know, the guys with mediocre to above average athletic ability, below average to mediocre mental makeup to succeed in the NBA, and the shooting touch of a billy goat, and the type of guys that play 32 minutes on a perpetual losing team and 10 spot minutes for a contending team and are completely replaceable.

I question Terrence Jones ability to get around screens on the perimeter. If he can then he is a rare athlete- almost a poor man's Lebron. So I see him as a athletic and face-up 4 instead of a big 3.

So I am still holding out for Biyombo and Leonard. Though I don't hate Mojenutas as much as I used too. The guy has all-star potential.

Biyombo and Leonard. I like both players but they would be awful drafted together. The jazz wouldn't be able to shoot. If you go biyombo at 6 then you have to look at a shooter scorer at 12.

I guess I expect Leonard to improve his jumper in time to acceptable levels as a spot up shooter. We would have to find a very good point to go with that team.

There is a lot of shooters on the FA market. The Jazz need defense more than shooting IMO.

Something to note on Kawhi- He is only 19, he already seems NBA ready but is full of potential. I'm sure he is working hard on his 3 point shot b/c he shoots the mid range well. I like Kawhi a lot for the 12th pick

I like him, but his size questions me.

After the Gordon Hayward pick that at the time thought it was a left field pick, and never saw it coming. I've decided to not complain about who KOC picks. Even if it's Jimmer.

Uhhhhhh....

I guess you forgot KOC drafting Kosta, Mo Almond, Brewer, Kirk Snyder, Borch, Raul Lopez, and Kris Humphries.

KOC drafting in the first round still leaves me incredibly nervous.

But that's okay, we live in a "What have you done for me lately world."

Kosta Koufos was projected to go in the lottery and fell to the Jazz at #23, at the time it was a no brainer pick because Kosta was the BPA. Kris Humphries is averaging a 10 and 10 double-double not to mention a block a game to go with it, so I am not exactly calling that one a bad pick. All the other ones were horrible though, but you have to remember with all the bad picks there are a couple good ones too. Williams, Millsap, and Hayward there might be some others too, just I am not sure if it was in fact KOC who drafted them.

It needs to be noted that Koufas also refused to work out for the Jazz, probably because he wasn't expecting to fall that low. So KOC was going on some blind faith on that pick, and I doubt he makes the same mistake of picking a player he didn't see in workouts. It does pain me to look at that draft board, Serge Ibaka was drafted next, followed by Nic Batum, and then George Hill. ****

Terrence Jones is a more complete and versatile player than the players you mentioned (although I barely know a few of them). T. Jones was projected at the top of the lottery and even in discussion as a potential #1 pick candidate coming into college.

But, he has not really missed in the lottery if we are convinced Hayward is a real deal.
