You can bring up Michael Jordan and Sam Bowie all you want, but I think we can agree there is no Michael Jordan in this draft or any other draft since 1984.

I hate it when people bring up Bowie - no one can predict injuries - but there has been a recent "flub" like this. Greg Oden over Kevin Durant. Portland didn't need Durant because they already had Brandon Roy. But they probably were still going with what they deemed BPA that year. I know I probably would've picked Oden too. It's gambling.
 
One more thing - I don't think Knight is in the same tier as Jordan/Durant. So I'd rather gamble on size than stay with vanilla.
 
Knight seems to have the tools to be a great pg. Kanter has so many questiosn about injuries. Plus what assets do you want Utah to give away next year to get another great pg? The thing like about Knight was that he was a very willing passer, has great size, extremely young (with the most potential, maybe even more then Irving) decent 3 point shot! And that he would fill more a need for the Jazz, then Kanter would. I like Millsap, Favors, Jefferson with Kanter 1 has to go!

The Oden injuries where actually extremely predictable when you looked at it. One leg was uneven and he had a history of being glass.

The thing is he won't average 20 and 10 with the Jazz. He will NOT get the playing time.

EVER? Under no circumstance can he get minutes behind a player so maligned for his tweener status and an ogre that has never been a part of a winning team? Trades? Injury? NEVER?

That is absurd.

No not never, but not until one of either Jefferson and Millsap is traded and Okur calls it a career after this season either. The same can be said about Humphries back then and Koufos. You have to understand, the first several years in the league are probably most important to a player's development. If he cannot get consistent playing time to develop, he might never live up to the potentials. Granted Kanter is very young, but he alread lost one year even before his NBA career started. Am I saying he will never be an all-star? No and he could very well be, but unlikely with us unless we went out of the way to clear room for him to develop.
 
Why do people love Knight? Because people still feel a void left by Deron that Devon's yet to fill? That's all I can figure because Knight has about as many point guard skills as Devon Harris. His freshman assist numbers are worse than any major point guard now playing in the NBA had during their freshman year in college. Heck, compared to most they're far worse. I won't be pissed if we take him but I certainly won't be happy. He's not worth the #3 pick. He's a combo guard who can shoot. A combo guard lacking true point guard skills, lacking an NBA frame, lacking elite athleticism beyond his speed. Sorry but I don't see his body filling out and I don't see him becoming a true point guard. Kanter on the other hand has shown massive amounts of skill, an NBA frame, and is fairly athletic for his size.
