Enes Kanter Interview About Jazz at #3

With who is available, we're in the cat-bird's seat. Maybe Minnie grabs Kanter that leaves either Irving or Williams. If not we get Knight or Kanter, two good picks IMO. Can't go wrong, really, unless KOC goes all numbnuts and trades down at this point.
 
Utah had an All Star in a Center from Turkey. With Kanter they may have another. I would make Memo a player-coach.
 
Kanter could just be saying that to make Cavs/Minny freak out & pick him before he's there for Utah at #3...

I don't think we could read too much into that actually..
 
Kanter is just saying this because he is realizing the possibility of playing for the Timberwolves or the Cavs and is getting scared.

He sounds better then Knight. Kanter > Knight as of today for me. Sad becasue I really like Knight and Millsap. Once Utah drafts Kanter Millsap will be traded for a Small Forward. Thank You Brandon Knight!
 
I'm telling you, it's Kanter and then Jimmer (unless someone projected much higher drops) and there will be NO TRADES.
 
Perrin and KOC have been highly complimentary of both players. Of Knight, they said that he worked his #$% off in the solo workout - probably went harder than most do when playing against others. And they understand it was his agent's decision to not let him face others. They also didn't seem too concerned over the lack of PT by Kanter. Perrin said he has tapes going back to when Enes was 15.

I don't think the Jazz are looking at other Euros. Perrin mentioned they'd be tracking a younger guy but he wouldn't say who that is. To me, that means we likely won't see Motiejunas at 12 or a trading down to take JV or Vesely.
 
This has been and continues to be the most obvious scenario, and I'd be happy with this.

I'd be happy too but KOC would be swinging for the fences. No one knows what Kanter will be and Jimmer is a stretch cause you don't know how he will handle the pressure and if he can adapt to the Jazz system. Both have a lot of potential, but both are big gambles. His last 2 big gambles have worked with drafting Hayward and trading Deron
 
I don't think it's too much of a gamble. I think their floors are pretty safe and their ceilings are pretty nice. I'd rather go for that than the safe floor with a limited ceiling. Or someone like Singleton who's ceiling is low and his floor may not be as safe as everyone thinks. NO SINGLETON.

I'd guess Bertans.
