Following potential 2012 draftees

A couple more predictions/comparisons:

MKG = Richard Jefferson (with better intangibles)

Quincy Miller = lighter version of Danny Manning

I'm also starting to lean towards PKM's opinion that Rivers could be our guy for the backcourt.

I like his drive and tenacity. He seems like he could have that attitude that DWill brought to the Jazz. If we drafted him and we let Watson tutor him a bit I would be so happy. Imagine a taller version of Watson (due to attitude and toughness, not skill) with a better outside shot.
 
I've been following alot of the same guys. I was high on Rivers but lost some interest when I watched him play as he's not a floor general but I think would be good for the Jazz. Kendall Marshall would be great but he has little offensive firepower.

First I hope we actually get 1st round draft picks this year since both have "conditions". I have no problem finishing out of the playoffs as long as we continue to see growth and maturity from our young players. I'd like to see Harris become more productive, as he is just not getting it done right now. It would be cool if Alex Burks could actually develop become our point guard............but not sure that could happen. He has a way of getting to the basket. We cool to seem him get a chance against GS. We are going to need PG help/depth as I believe this is Devin Harris' last contract year........so he'll be traded or possibly not resigned. Other available guards are Hinrich, A. Miller, S. Nash............of course, they'd just be filler til we can find "the man". CJ may also be gone.

Here are the guys I'm following as candidates. Of course, it varies depending on how many picks we get and where they are.

Meyers Leonard - more depth and would make loosing Jefferson easier to swallow when the time is right.
Kidd-Gilchrist - has alot of what we need.....he just goes after it.
Kendall Marshall - adds to PG depth, but not sure he's "the man".
Austin Rivers - more scoring power but kind of a Devin Harris type player.
Jared Sullinger - same as Meyers Leonard, makes Jefferson more expendible.
Damian Lilliard - PG depth with scoring ability
Tony Wroten - more PG Depth
Myck Kobango (sp?) - small (as in thin) but quick, could develop into a nice player.
Scott Machado - intriguing.

I have no interest in H. Barnes from UNC. I live here in NC and I just haven't bought into the hype. I think he's the next Marvin Williams. I wouldn't be totally disappointed in some sort of trade that might land us the right guy w/o loosing too much.

Tonight's game will be interesting.
 
I meant to add Leandro Barbosa and Goran Dragic to the list of potential PGs that could possibly help us next year. They have both played well against the Jazz.

I appreciate you going out on a limb and putting this on here. I don't like the guys in bold that you have put on here. They are all on my "no thanks" list for a variety of reasons. Leonard and Sullinger and a no thanks unless Jefferson is gone. Yes, Jefferson and not any of the other three.

You are even confusing myself with your screen name. Make sure you have good post or others will probably confuse you with myself. Where in NC from? I am from Wilmington.

Barbosa definitely is not a PG. He would just be a more erratic version of Devin Harris.

Not a fan of Dragic. Don't really see him as much, but I guess he could be our PG. Not really sure on his pure point ability.
 
Would you be happy with a line up similar to this next year

Watson, machado
Burks, rivers
Hayward, miller
Millsap, kanter, Evans
Jefferson, favors

Hopefully either trading Harris for future dp or cap space. Bench bell as a mentor for rivers burks. I wouldn't even mind see Anthony morrow for cj trade only 1 more year left. All very doable.

A Miller/Rivers draft is probably the most popular bandwagon at this point. Though, we'd be taking Rivers with the hope he can play the point.
