I think some teams put more priority on need, not the Jazz. KOC has clearly stated this every interview and don't think they are factoring it in.

Of course he says that, but just because he drafted Hayward as his BPA last year doesn't change his history of drafting for need

I prefer barefoot measurements, but ok he is 6'3". Still smaller than we expected and probably not big enough to spend any time at SG. That was one of the reasons I liked him before, and let me justify his trigger happiness. I can't do that anymore.

what in the world????? Because nba players run around barefoot??? At6'3" he can play both positions. And that is the size he was always said to be. Dont run around making **** up to push your kanter agenda.

Does 6'1 Brandon Knight project to be a superstar over some of these bigs? Didn't think so.

I'm not saying it won't happen, but there isn't anyone in this draft projected to be a superstar -even Dwill2 and Irving are projected as marginal superstar talent.

I find it funny how everyone has complained about Al's size at the 5 all year, yet they want to jump on Kanter's wagon. I don't get it...
 
Has anyone seen Aldridge's mock draft at NBA.com??

He has the Jazz taking Jonas Valanciunas at the 3 and Thompson at 12. The Jimmer falls all the way to 30.

Knight and Kanter are both risky picks, but if your going the "risky route", you should probably go big. Kanter could be Kwame Brown or Knight could be Dee Brown.

Kanter has more heart, hustle and toughness than Kwame Brown. Even if he's a big, 6'11" energy player, even if all he does is rebound, he's still an ideal player to play inside and let Derrick Favors roam around and do his thing. I think you have to look at Kanter as a sure thing as a rebounder and see rebounding as the #1 value he brings to a team. On top of that, I think Kanter will be a double-digit scorer and adequate defender. Think of Kanter as a decent complement to Derrick Favors, especially if Kanter can shoot and pass from the high post.

Beyond this, I need to see some evidence why Kemba Walker and Brandon Knight are significantly better prospects than Josh Selby. They're better prospects, but by how much I'm not sure. Selby can match their athleticism and has a quicker first step with the ball. He didn't get to dominate the ball at Kansas the way Knight did at Kentucky and Walker did at UConn. I can see Josh Selby as a Jason Terry type.
 
I'm in agreement on Selby. I don't think he's much behind any other PG in the draft either.

To ^^^ who are you referring to that 'only' rebounds?
