If you know we don't like bleacher reports then why post it they are garbage.

Oh brother. Sorry to use up valuable board space. It won't happen again.

Chris Singleton offense > Kawhi Leonard's offense. And I wont even get started on defense.

Leonard if he really will turn out to be a Gerald Wallace-like stud.

he is black, stands 6'7", and has cornrows. check, check, and mate.

I'd be fine with Leonard at 6. He would bring some much needed athleticism and intensity. I don't see him scoring a ton in the NBA. Maybe 15 ppg at his peak. He doesn't remind me of Marion or Wallace at all. For some reason I picture him being close to a Ron Artest. He has that same awkward athleticism that artest does. Plus the huge hands.

Wow this draft is going to be so different from last year. I could tell you the top 8 guys in pretty much the order they would go. Now a guy that we have been talking about "maybe" taking at 12 is being talked about at #6. I just hope the Jazz end up with 2 guys that help and can be contributers on this team in the next couple of years.

Don't look now, but Kawhi Leonard has moved up to #5 on ESPN's Draft Big Board...

the other mocks won't be far behind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within groups of people. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative ideas or viewpoints. Antecedent factors such as group cohesiveness, structural faults, and situational context play into the likelihood of whether or not groupthink will impact the decision-making process.

I have a prediction.

The Jazz will draft one of the Morris twins ahead of Leonard. They're fundamental players that can be counted on to run the system. ala Jarron Collins.

Gerald Wallace or Leonard are just too hopper for this franchise to handle.

Chad Ford on Kawhi Leonard in Las Vegas:

We've moved him up to No. 5 on our Big Board after seeing what he brings to the table.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior#Herd_behavior_in_animals

A group of animals fleeing a predator shows the nature of herd behavior. In 1971, in the oft cited article "Geometry For The Selfish Herd," evolutionary biologist W. D. Hamilton asserted that each individual group member reduces the danger to itself by moving as close as possible to the center of the fleeing group.

the center of the group appears to be shifting. the other mocks will move with it.

I don't like him better than Leonard but do think Singleton is our likely pick at 12. According to Colton's latest mock compilation it would basically be between Singleton, Fredette, or a Morris twin as BPA at 12.

Jarron Collins was drafted in the second round.

I sure hope not. One of the biggest reasons I wasn't too sad to see Jerry go, was the chance to actually get some athleticism on this team. Let's keep the Humphries over the sucky Cougar's. Let's draft a Leonard or Knight, over a sucky Cougar.
