2011 draft.....

my enes kanter scouting report:

+ (strength):
soft hands
incredible offensive player... does it all at does it well... great inside-outside game
solid body frame
incredible rebounder
post-moves... patience
shooting... almost mechanic from midrange... has solid range and can hit the three constantly
size... posseses brute strength
passing... reads double teams well
footwork is fantastic, very light on his feet
agil and runs the court well for a player his size
basketball iq... nice fundamentals
plays above his age... incredibly skilled and polished... quite nba-ready... could imediately have an impact
dominated every competition he played against... high motor and great character guy
has added so much to his game and will only become better with time and his work-ethic

- (weakness):
not the best shot-blocker, but could become an average or slightly below average shot blocker due to his timing rather than his average or slightly above average athleticizm
average defensive player because of lack of elite athleticizm and lateral mobility, will have problems guarding perimeter oriented and too athletic and strong big men
knees
hasn't constantly played for a while now which could have hurt his game

Ratings:

Athleticizm, Quickness: 7
Size: 9
Strength: 9

Shooting: 10
Post Skills: 10
Passing, IQ, Fundamentals: 10

Rebounding: 10
Defense: 6

NBA-Ready: 9
Potential: 10

OVERALL: 90
(all-star-caliber, 90 out of 100)

what can you expect?

kanter should become an all-star caliber player, even if he won't make it annualy. a 20-10 player for the future, at worst a 16 - 8 player. will take him 2-3 years to become an elite center, but he is more of a power forward on offense but more like a center on defense. plays similiar to al horford, or a bit like a bigger zach randolph but with some more energy on the defensive end. if he played in college this year, he would be the obvious first pick in this draft. was a 6-11 and 261 pounds manchild with a 7-1 wingspan quite a while ago, but is still 18. expect him to grow a little bit and become a 6-11 or 7-0 player in the range of 270 - 275 lbs with a wingspan of 7-2. similar meassurements to cousins, but won't have his 9'5 reach.

The downside is he is 21 so you can't really hope that he suddenly becomes a passing point guard. So do we want a scorer/combo guard at 12?

4.5 APG and 6.0 APG (numbers from the year previous) are not bad numbers for the NCAA. If Jimmer Fredette can use every possession that he's in the game for, average fewer assists, more turnovers, and still be compared to Steve Nash and John Stockton, why can't this guy be considered a passer?
 
Also, if we want to keep talking about Jimmer v Jackson, Jackson shoots a better percentage from 2, 3, and scored more PPS. I understand Jimmer's job was to score 30 per game, but I don't particularly want my PG to try to be the leading scorer on the team.
 
Nets hold NBA Combine Saturday & Sunday. 27 teams are coming..... Don't know if the Jazz are invited.

List of Players expected to attend

Remember players have to declare they intend to return to school to the NCAA by Sunday.
This Combine is mostly 2nd rounders and some late 1st rounders.

The Chicago Combine (May 18-22) is where the top 40 players or so are invited, measured, interviewed, tested etc....

Downside to Jackson is he was a terrible shooter (from deep) the first two years of college. Upside to Jackson is BC played the flex under Skinner which means he'd adapt to our offense very easily (if that's what we're still going to run.) He's a seriously good rebounder and all around playmaker. But definitely more of a combo guard than a true point.

If that happens I hope the Jazz know that they see a lot of "fans" in green seat costumes next year.

I'd rather see Bismack at 6 and Burks at 12.

Not some soft euro that's as thin as a rail at 6 when we could easily resign one (AK) and another decent athlete who refuses to play defense at 12 when we could easily pickup CJ's option.

His shooting last year was not a small sample size. Shooting 42% on 5 3-pointers a game qualifies as dead-eye from that range. Him playing under the flex is a MASSIVE plus too. If he can play off-ball and the Jazz are trying to move toward an emphasis on multiple ballhandlers, then it may be just as well. In terms of body and efficiency, Jackson seems a hell of a lot more legit as a combo than Knight does.

An aside; the idea of trading the 12 down to late firsts/early seconds and then grabbing Jackson and Charles Jenkins interests me. If the team is to pursue the idea of faster, more versatile back-courts instead of throwing all of their eggs in the PG basket like they have in the past, having two efficient, versatile, combo guards willing and capable to make the pass can either turn into an interesting 1/2 rotation, or you are allowed to try both of them out and see who pans out better.

Guys who suddenly become great shooters scare me no matter how big the sample. It's a concern, not a dealbreaker, but you want to try and understand why he had such a sharp spike in his outside shooting ability.

I agree completely that KOC will/should dangle the 12 to move back and/or out of the draft entirely after the 6.
 
Also, I don't think most people view Knight as a combo guard. If they do, he won't go 6. If he goes 6, it's because KOC sees him as a longterm point.
 
If Irving, Williams, Kanter, Knight and Burks are all gone, I would take Terrence Jones or trade down. I really like this kid from BC, Singleton (?) from FSU, Parsons from UF and a couple other guys in the late 1st or early 2nd round.
