2011 draft.....

Catchall said:
1) Millsap is not taller than Derrick Williams, regardless of what his current measurements say.

2) Millsap is not the explosive offensive talent that Williams is.

3) If Derrick Williams is available at #3, the Jazz should draft him. There is not a better wing player in this draft.

Have a nice day.

Never said Millsap was taller... I think I stated that Williams was more athletic, but regardless they play the same position and are similar in that they can both shoot and play the same position, undersized pf's that play the perimeter. Williams is as much a wing as Millsap is.

We have Millsap! At one time I was high on him, when that wore off I realized he is Millsap all over mabey a little more athletic and a little taller he's a pf we have plenty of thoughs. He's not a sure thing. There aren't any of thoughs this year.

We don't need two Millsaps.

Even though I am also not very high on Williams, you're forgetting a very important draft rule. Never draft based off need in the lottery, draft the best player available. Period.

I don't think he is saying don't draft him because we have Millsap. He is saying Millsap is a bench player and Dwill is Millsap. You don't draft a bench player with the third pick.
 
Just because Millsap and Derrick Williams are about the same height - it doesn't mean they're the same player. I could give you 3 paragraphs on the differences between the two, but in short - if the Jazz end up in a position to draft Williams, it should be a no-brainer.
 
Greg Miller on ABC 4

Mr. Miller was on with Wes Ruff last night. I didn't see the entire interview, but here it is.

Speaking about the draft Mr. Miller said that they Jazz Management would sit down next week to review the findings of O'Connor & company and then making thier draft decisions. Interesting they get together with the Millers so early, even before the workouts are completed.

Yes I'm sure they have different games I don't believe for a second that Williams can on the wing full time effectively.

What I mean by when I said "drafting Williams is like drafting another Millsap" they are both undersized pf's that play on the perimeter. I don't think Williams would start over Favors or Al. Millsap has one of the best contracts in the NBA.
 
Paul Millsap - 2006 6' 6.25" 6' 7.25" 8' 9.5"

Williams is 6'9" in shoes and has a 9' standing reach. As much as I love Sap, he is always shorter than any starting PF in the league.
