2011 draft.....

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, Mo Almond, and Lopez were later picks, which we know can be a crapshoot Brewer wasn't a bad pick, and Humphries was a beast on the boards and good player this year. Every gm has a Borch or a Mo or Snyder on their resume's. I no some don't feel this way but I feel lucky to have KOC as gm of the Jazz, and feel he is one of the best. For all I know I won't like who he drafts, but we have to realize is he has put in thousands of ours in knowing and studying the different prospects.

I think O'Conner takes a lot of unnecessary flack, but not a lot of GMs have the distinguishment of drafting both a player that hadn't done anything of note until he poked a famous hottie (somehow) and a violent psychopath DIRECTLY above two borderline all-stars IN THE SAME DRAFT. Whether you liked the picks at the time or not, you can not spin that as anything but a catastrophic blooper.
 
I was just scanning the nbadraft.net forum and someone actually suggested that the Jazz trade Favors for the 10th pick in this years draft and a couple second rounders.

I would seriously burn my fan card if KOC did something that moronic.

Yeah, that was bad, but IMO that's just the nature of the draft. Sometimes it goes catastrophic, especially when you're picking in the middle. FWIW, I remember not being thrilled by Humphries but thought Snyder was a great pick. Shows what I know.
 
I really hope the Jazz draft The Jimmer @ 12.... or better yet, @ 6.
Not so much because it will make the team better, but I want to see the implosions and explosions.
Anyone have an over/under on the number of infractions or bans here if this were to take place?

That's kind of sexy, if you think about it.

It's already been added to the rotation I'm sure.

Also earlier somebody said the Brewer pick was a bust but I would beg to differ, he may not be on the Jazz but he was not a bust and I would even listen to arguments for Stevenson not being a bust as well. You can be upset that KOC traded them but that does not equal draft bust.
