Following potential 2012 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

He has plenty of highlights where he finishes strong at the rim, even against Kentucky.

His stock is late 1st round because of his anxiety disorder.

Agree with the first sentence.

Disagree with the second.

Also, I think Chad Ford wrote an insider piece saying that White could go as high as the 10th pick.

IMO, Chad is wrong. I like White, but to think he doesn't also have major limitations is ignoring some obvious things. (Just as saying he is too limited to make an impact for a team is, as well.)

Way too high for White

Not Jazz specific, but with 3 expiring contracts and the draft next month anything could happen:

Chad Ford (1:15 PM)

I agree that the Raptors are looking to move the pick. They've been trying to package it with another young player like Ed Davis and a vet (Bargnani or Calderon). I think they want a big time player on the wing so that they can lure Steve Nash this summer. The guy most people in the league believe they are after via trade is Rudy Gay. If they stay at 8, they want a player who can get to the basket. Thus ... Waiters at 8.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Waiters at 8 is highly laughable. I'm sure whomever else in the draft would love that.

Chad Ford on Marquis Teague:

I think he's another guy teams may be sleeping on a bit. Got better and better as the year went on. Some elite talent there ... had he stayed in school another year he's a Top 10 pick. I have him going No. 20 to Nuggets ... I'm told Suns are looking at 13. Doubt he slips past Indy at 26.

Chad Ford On Quincy (not Darius) Miller:

May be the most undervalued player in the draft. Had he stayed in school another year, would've been a likely Top 10 pick.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I like Teague around 20. I also like Quincy around 13-15.

By the way, thanks for these updates. Please keep'm coming.

 

[orangello]

I like Teague around 20. I also like Quincy around 13-15.

Nbadraft.net has Miller at 27 to Miami. That would be no good.

Nbadraft.net has Miller at 27 to Miami. That would be no good.

Should be disallowed their opinions.

Chad Ford (1:44 PM) On Jazz trading into the draft:


Knowing Kevin O'Connor ... you can be sure they are trying. They're intrigued by a number of players if they can get somewhere between 10-20. My guess is Devin Harris, Al Jefferson and Paul Milsap are the bait.
