Following potential 2012 draftees

I still say Zeller because he has enough size to be a center, and would be a good fit with either Kanter or Favors down the road. He would make Al or Sap expendable right away because he would be ready to contribute right away.

PJ3 is too passive. I don't think he would fit well alongside either of our guys. He is strictly a 4, and a stretch 4 at that. Zeller is a 4/5, with ability to hit the midrange jump shot and rebound.
 
PJ3's passivity is a concern even for me, but his natural talent is more impressive than Zeller's conservative talent. Higher upside. I think the Jazz' offense will be better for him than Baylor's. Also, I'm still not convinced he can't play the 3. His outside shot is good. He can also post up if need be. His length is great. He's not the fastest at the position but he's not slowest. He's probably better at the 3 than AK was. Certainly better offensively.

Maybe more will be learned in workouts but I won't close the door on PJ3 at the 3 until I learn more. The guy's just too talented - and at pick 9 it's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

You've gotta take him if he is available at #9. I am 100% convinced ( based solely on my own opinion ) that he will be a much better pro than college player, Baylor has no discipline, no real offense, no one even remotely trying to get him involved, nothing but chuckers. I would take him.
 
Why are we talking about post players when we already have four? We want a PG and/or a wing. I'm all for BPA, but where we're picking, I'm not convinced there is a clear-cut BPA, so you go with BPA at a position of need, imo.

I agree and this is the general rule. BPA regardless where you're picking, if too close to call, go need.
 
Let's just say that Quincy Miller as a 3 and PJIII as a 4 are - for all intents and purposes - the same prospect: Talented as hell, quizzically low production, consistency, and impact. We need a 3. We do not need a 4. We're swimming in bigs right now.
 
We have 4 now. After next season, two of them will be expired. Possibly by next season, 1 will be traded. Getting a big man makes sense.
