Colton's Mock Draft Compilation, v. 10.0

I think it's funny that all the Kanter haters' first line of defense is that the guy has not played in a meaningful game for a year. This is true. But what gets me is that the overall consensus #1 pick has basically been sitting around for a few months doing absolutely nothing (as evidenced by his 10% body fat) while Kanter has been working his arse off to get into shape and get better. Couple that with the hype that Kanter had coming into UK (some thought he'd be a #1 pick before the season began) and I don't see how anyone can hate the guy. I get it if you'd want Knight over him, but I just don't get the animosity towards him.

Dude, Irving had a toe injury. That kind of prevented him from doing things such as running and working out.
 
What about Dirk, Memo, Yao, Turkulo, and Peja. How many home grown US players have been busts. Here are two PG that in recent memories that were huge busts Dee Brown, and Mateen Cleaves. Both of these players dominated the NCAA and were NBA busts. Remember the NCAA is not the same as it once was. Most all of the really talented players move on when they have a chance. So, quit acting like dominating in college makes you so much better than a Euro. It is a crap shoot either way. But, Kanter is going to be an Allstar and Knight might start for an NBA team someday.
 
Kanter- Knight, Knight-Kanter.

It doesn't really matter. The Jazz will be drafting Jonas Valuncianus, because right next to where KOC writes Michael Jordan on the draft board someone else writes "YOU CAN'T TEACH HEIGHT" the Jazz believe it.

Look at the many jazz draft draft mistakes over the past 25 years, the majority were BIG mistakes.

This is true of almost every team. What is your point? Teams are morely to take a chance on a big guy?
 
Yep, and it more often than not is stupid. Why do we have to do what every team does. I have a bad feeling about this strategy.
