Enes Kanter works out for the Jazz

Where did you get this info? Jefferson, Favors, and Kanter could be quite impressive. Use Millsap to get a wing. Not saying we should draft him, but obviously KOC is intrigued.

If koc is intrigued we are in serious trouble. There are some very good wings available in this draft. Anyone catch barnes last night?vhe is blooming in the 2nd half of the season. Favors needs minutes and picking kanter just complicates things.

I have read it a few places but I believe it's on his nbadraft.com profile. He has pretty bad knees and is only a teenager. Not a good sign. Makes me think of Oden.

This. I'd rather have an undersized Millsap who is in shape and has proven himself on this level and has some athleticism and skill.
The only way we're going to build a legit playoff team is drafting or developing an all-world player, currently there are 5-- Lebron, Kobe, Howard, Durant and Blake Griffin (I think Wade although he is still a top 5 overall player, is no longer all-world). Or building a solid team top to bottom offensively and defensively, and that means a solid center. Kanter is that solid center, not a guy you build a team around, but a guy who could be the starting C on a legit playoff contender... especially if he were sharing a front court with Derrek Favors.
Harrison Barnes upside is "the best player on a bad team" similar to Michael Redd, he has no chance at all-world status, and his consistency on both ends of the court is nothing to be excited about... that being said, I like Barnes more than anyone other than Kanter, but I think he'll spend another year at UNC (he is essentially Marvin Williams right now).

A world-class wing flanked by Jefferson/Millsap, Favors/Fess, Harris/Watson and Kirilenko/Hayward could contend. We'd need another shooter though depending on how Hayward continues to develop.
Has anyone seen confirmation that KOC did have a workout with Kanter?
If so what does this mean?
Seems like a player workout for a draft prospect this soon is not allowed.
Can Jazz or anybody sign Kanter to a contract right now because of his unique situation?
Why would Jazz have a special workout for him right now?
Lots of unanswered questions here.

Maybe the idea is long term? Maybe the jazz want build a team like OKC did that will be the beast of the league in a few years.

If you believe that Jefferson (25 years old) and Favors (19 years old) are the frontcourt of the future (which I personally think they can be , then it does not make sense to draft another center, who has a high risk to be a below average big man (the last true European center who worked out, if I remember correctly, was Vlade Divac).
It has been years since we had a quality shooting guard. We had that last year but we had to let him go to address a bigger need. Now, it's definitely a chance for us to get one for the future, whether it's through the draft or through a trade that includes the pick as a package. I do personally like Barnes. I think even if his upside is just a John Salmons or Michael Redd, it should help us tremendously.

You putting Griffin in there but not Rose or Wade is laughable.
