Following potential 2012 draftees

Depends where we're picking. Marshall, Beal, Lillard, and MKG are the four I hear most associated with the Jazz .. but almost exclusively from UK sources, so there could be some slant.

How would UK people have any info on what the Jazz may do in any season let alone one where we have no idea where we'll be picking if at all since there are 20 games left and a ton of scenarios. I call ********.

It's because every NBA team comes to the games and the Jazz have been represented at at least a half-dozen practices. Believe it or not, conversations take place .. and not always about UK players. I only mentioned the guys that I've heard mentioned most often .. not that they necessarily feel they'll get them.

Don't doubt PKM. He personally pays 1/10th of each player's salary...... er "scholarships".

Thanks PKM. I'm high on 3 of the 4. I really hope Ut. Hard up for MKG, and are thinking of ways to move up in the draft to get him, maybe a pick Jefferson and a future pick. With MKG I think our team is close to complete. All that would be left is to fill the roster with roll players, a shooter defender backup big.

You know who the Jazz favor more, Marshall or Lillard?

Anyone have any gut feelings about who we're going to draft? Just wondering, cause even though I'm open to the idea of drafting Miller, I don't really see the Jazz actually going through with that. I'm feeling either Rivers or Marshall (assuming we don't trade up).

If the Jazz are drafting in the 8 - 10 range, it generally makes sense to get a good, young point guard like Marshall or Lillard. It's hard to get a stud PG or combo guard via trade. Whereas, the Jazz should be able to look for wing players through trade or later in the draft. That said, if a player like Beal or PJ3 is available, the Jazz have to be templed. They'll probably also take a hard look at Rivers, Miller and maybe Ross. It's just easier to develop a make-shift wing player like they've done in the past than get a starting caliber PG late in the draft.

Edit: The PG generally has more impact on Ws and Ls than wing players, even good ones, just based on the amount of usage and where points are coming from. In the past, teams have picked top SFs like Grant Hill, Glenn Robinson, Rudy Gay, Antawn Jamison, etc. and it didn't translate to wins as efficiently as getting a game-changing PG has.

Edit Edit: You could look at Lebron James obviously, but he actually impacts the game best when he controls the ball like a big PG.
