Following potential 2012 draftees

Because pretty much every great combo guard, or one that really contributes to team success are very capable shooters.

That is something I certainly agree with.

Tony Parker early on was more of a combo guard, at least in style of play.

What PG did he play alongside of?

I don't know about anyone else, but I know it's easy for me to discredit his successes when considering his playing with the most skilled and fundamental big since Hakeem and for possibly the best coach of all time. It's pretty easy for Spurs fans to as well from what little I've seen.

For whatever this is worth, he might be the quickest and craftiest player I have ever seen, though.

I think you missed my point. Dude didn't really demonstrate strong point guard skills early in his career, as the offense was run largely through Tim Duncan. With Hayward, Burks, Millsap, it might not be that important for a future Jazz PG to have great PG skills, and Rivers might then be a viable option in the draft (obviously depending on the Jazz's draft position, if they have any picks at all).

I really don't like Rivers much, but he'll be a good pro .. just watch. I don't like combos either, I just believe Rivers has the 'it' that will make him adapt or find some way to hurt people.

 

[Hantlers]

Obviously I'm a homer, but I wouldn't mind taking Rivers. He has skills and he's a smart player. Plus, all he wants to do is win.

I guess I should be mad he is playing good because it means he wont drop to us.

Watching. His best game of the year. I don't think we have any shot of drafting him .. unless we lose every game from here out ..

We still have lots of assets to trade up. I wouldn't say we have NO chance of drafting him.

The only reason I would want MKG is to put an end to the Jazz getting destroyed by power/post up 3's.

It would have been interesting to see if Howard could have handled those isos. But the Jazz just have to improve their backcourt. They need a PG who can play both sides of the ball convincingly.
