Following potential 2012 draftees

[Hantlers]

I think Damian Lillard from Weber State is an intriguing prospect. Only a junior, but he's 6'3, 190 pretty athletic and a really good shooter. Maybe some of the local Utahns could tell us more about him.

You missed the game last night, huh? I kid .. sorta.

I honestly see our own pick being higher than Golden State's. Yes, it's very early, but so far I'd say we look like the worst team in the West.

Can't say I disagree.

Another #3, maybe?

Another #3, maybe?

I think it's more of a possibility than some might like to admit. People will say "it was just one game" yada yada yada..."we have a great mix of vets and youth" bla bla bla. The point is that our vets just don't mesh in my mind. Harris/Jefferson seems like a pretty good combo on paper, but their playing styles just don't click, imo. I also think a lot of people underestimated the impact the lockout would have on a rebuilding team like the Jazz. There was simply no time to build chemistry, we looked like a circus last night and that's what should have been expected.

If we do get another #3, the Barnes vs Gilchrist debates could be very fun, though.

I see the Jazz getting a top 5 pick from their own effort. In the lottery system we might just swing another top 3 pick. The debates would be great.

They really would be.

On another note, Kendall Marshall is looking more and more appealing to me. After watching Harris' inability to distribute and run the show, it further proved to me that we need a pass first point guard, even if he doesn't score a ton. We need a Rondo-ish PG as opposed to a Rose-ish PG, imo.

Oh Lord, I see your point there, but it seemed you were making a Rondo / Marshall comparison, lol. Bout puked a little.

I would respond, but I'm just becoming a broken record when it comes to Marshall. I just can't do it anymore.

Lol you know what I mean. In the future, I think we'll have plenty of scoring options with Favors, Kanter, Burks, Hayward, our lottery pick (Barnes or Gilli?), and maybe even Millsap, we just need someone to utilize all those options, and drafting Marshall seems like our best chance at getting someone like that. I'm not 100% on the Marshall bandwagon, especially since there's a good chance that there will be someone with more talent available wherever we pick, but he could potentially be a perfect fit for us.

Can I get a run down of the top 5 picks? Those are the names that all Jazz fans need to become familiar with.
