Do you really think the draft will matter?

Will this draft mean anything for us 5 years from now?

  • YES! This draft will shape the franchise for years to come.

  • NO! This is the weakest draft in years. It doesn't matter who we pick, we won't be any better off.

    Votes: 1 2.0%

  • Yes, but only if we use one or both of the picks to trade for an All-Star.

    Votes: 4 8.2%

  • I don't really care. The season is shot, and it is sunny outside.

    Votes: 2 4.1%

  • I am only excited about this draft because after this season I need some reason to like the Jazz

I voted for the cheese, but I am of the opinion that this draft will most likely be somewhere in the middle of shaping our team, and being a waste.
I think we can get some good pieces for our team, but I don't think they will be All-Stars.
I am hoping for one All-Star with the 5 or 6 pick though.

My real 2 cents with all joking aside.
 
we've spent the majority of our daydreaming on what would happen if the 5-6th pick vaults into the top 3, but I don't think I've heard anybody talk about the various possibilities of taking the 12th pick + player/future pick and moving into the 7-10 range. At the right cost, I think that could be worth the risk; it could net us Knight, for example.

I deny your denial, and ask you if it is possible any of the following 383 types of cheeses could be bad? This is maybe half of the cheese types in the world.

I definitely think the Venezualan Beaver Cheese is a bad type of cheese.

I rest my case...... now will you clarify the question?

By the way, can you shut up that Bouzouki player?

All of those cheeses are wonderful. Beaver cheese is the bees knees. I prefer cheese that smells like feet. I like feet, I do not know why.



Most cheese "types", by the way, are just variations on core cheeses typically differentiated by the type of mammal that produced the raw milk, and the method of production or aging. Like Gouda, Smoked Gouda, Jalapeno Gouda, Fennel Gouda (very good-a bye the way...sorry couldn't resist), etc.

I am still waiting to try opossum cheese. Ooh and imagine gorilla cheese.

Mmmmmm.

I disagree. I think in this draft there is not enough difference between a player taken at 7 vs one taken at say 12 or 13. Just no real game changers there. I would not waste assets on a move like that. Better to use them to find something of value already in the league.
 
No matter how much research you do its always a crap shoot. 90% of the board was willing to give up the farm to trade up and draft Evan Turner or Wesley Johnson, and they are both looking like busts so far.

YES! This draft COULD shape the franchise for years to come. Irving and Williams could shape a franchise, and I really think Kemba, or Knight could turn out to be good. No matter how weak the draft looks now, I still think there are 5-10 players who could turn out to be solid starters in the NBA 5 years from now.

The Jazz are in a position they have never been in before: two top 10 picks from the 2010 draft and an additional top 5 pick (chances at top 3) and 12 pick in the 2011 draft. I also have heard that the Jazz really want/will do whatever they can to get Derrick Williams. They have a lot of pieces (expiring Ks, draft picks, young players). However, I have a hard time seeing either of the teams that eventually win a top 2 pick ever trading down to 5/6 due to the overall weakness of the draft.

But... Washington was the 5th worst record last year and Philly was the 6th worst and both won the top 2 picks so you never know what the Jazz might end up with!

Repped- and Utah really wants to get Derrick Williams? I don't watch to much College ball but isn't he a Power Forward in a Small Forwards body? I hope Utah gets Knight and Burc I'd call that a successful draft. That would help make Utah a playoff darkhouse.

Plus I love the Idea of signing AK just to trade him for another Pick or young player. And Im really wondering, what value Utah will get out of Memo's Insurance paid contract-that will benefit Utah for the better.
