Chad Ford on Utah Jazz picks and Jimmer

LOL funny that this article starts off saying the Jazz really love the PG's and you guys interpret that as Kanter is the shoe in. OMG! LOL

Jonas - OK if he's a shot blocking, rebounding, dunking Tyson Chandler type Center. But do you see that in him? If he can be that, then definitely take him there to pair up with Favors.

What do you see in him just out of curiosity?

How can someone want Jonas or Biyombo but not want Kanter because he's unproven? Can't make this stuff.

Uhhh, Jonas lead the EURO league in rebounds per minute THIS YEAR. I'll admit I don't know much about Bismack, but I like his defensive minded aggressiveness.

I don't interpret it as Kanter is the shoe in. I wish I could. I fear Knight.

I think the article is drivel. I believe Kanter is the "shoe in" because KOC knows that he only has 1 shot to get this right. Once Utah moved up in the lottery, this #3 pick was destined to be remembered as the center piece of the D-Will trade (even more so than Favors IMO). I have no doubt KOC really likes Knight and Kemba. Probably because he has more film to watch on them and Kanter is still somewhat of an unknown.

With that being said, Kanter has more NBA upside than the other 2. KOC can't ignore that and isn't going to be the guy who traded away D-Will and then passed on a potential franchise Center to boot. I think the only way Utah doesn't land Kanter is if Minnesota falls in love with him and picks him @ 2. However, if Kanter is on the board and KOC passes on him, I would be astonished.
 
Here's an honest question: If everyone hates this draft so much and KOC is honestly enamored with Knight/Kemba why can't he trade up from 12 to grab Enes and Knight/Kemba? The asking price for those picks should be lower than average given the general perception of this draft's weakness right?

You mean two guys that have played actual basketball in the last year? I haven't the foggiest.

I've thought the EXACT same thing. Couldn't Utah take Kanter @ 3, then package the #12 and Sap (or other pieces) to get back to 5 or 6? I don't see why not.
 
Teams dont like trading away their lottery picks because there is still a CHANCE they can get a good player.

This idea has been mentioned from people before but Millsap and the #12 is way too much for Knight or Kemba.
