This Valanciunas character might not be so bad. Pretty athletic move here...

Euros
I don't remember a draft with this many Euros slated to be drafted as high as they're projected. Is this a testament to a "weak draft" or is it that they're deserving of a high pick? If it's the latter, why do many think they're going to be busts?
For example: I don't hear Kawhi Leonard is going to be a bust while most of what I hear is Jan Vesely is. I saw highlights of Vesely and he looks like AK mixed with Dirk.
You take Bargnani and Gallinari and didn't they turn in to what was expected? They're pretty good players...

I don't think he goes #1 but very likely at #2. I do expect the Cavs to draft Derrick Williams #1 though so it is likely for us to pick between Irving and Knight.
The Cavs will take Irving #1. It's already set in stone. Don't kid yourselves.
Kanter could go #2, but it's not likely.
We all know how the script will play out 1, 2, and 3 if you are being honest.
Kanter is a Jazzman.

Kanter is a Jazzman.
Some stuff from Tribjazz:
Kanter set to work out for Jazz Friday morning in Chicago. Expected to focus on offense — pick-and-roll, pick-and-pop. Likely work w/ guard.
Kanter not expected to focus on defense during workout. ... Chance that he could have another workout in Salt Lake City if all goes well.
Kanter is definitely open to the idea of playing for Jazz. Believes team would be a good fit for his skills.
This keeps coming up with Jazz's No. 3, 12 picks: Utah can find another PG or SG at 12 if Jazz pass on Walker, Knight. But there's not another Kanter on the board, in terms of his size, shooting skill, youth and potential.
O'Connor is big on length, size and interior depth. Easier to get a SG via trade/signing than drafting a "special" young center at No. 3.

Wow that article calls him the Turkish Dwight Howard and says he rebounds like Dennis Rodman.
Maybe, but it's interesting that Kemba Walker is going to work out for Cleveland.

If that's true why is he slatted to go with the third pick? Is it because no one has seen him play in a while?
He plays nothing like Dwight Howard (from what I've seen/read) it just a friend of his agent hyping him up.

They are doing their homework nothing more nothing less. They will probably bring in Knight at some point as well. It would be wise to compare Irving to the other top pg's. That will help them decide on taking Irving first or go bif with Kanter or williams then take who they like between Knight and Walker at the 4th pick.

I think Europeans associate any large-body guy that makes his living around the basket with Howard. I've heard people compare both Kanter and Valanciunas to Howard. Neither of who's game even remotely resembles Howard's.
