Following potential 2012 draftees

I believe the game is on TNT, so they may be more hesitant to tank as obviously as last night. We can hope, at least.

I think they will play their guys. I don't really think this is a game they have to try to lose, it will just come naturally because it's #1 team in the league vs. one of the worst, even regardless of their big 3, they are still way better than the Warriors.

Well if by some small chance they get a lead expect sertain players not to play the 4th quarter.
 
I just have a feeling that coin tosses hate the Jazz. Then again, we're hoping GS loses the coin toss...maybe this could work.
 
Listened to brian smith on 1280 this morning - he mentioned even if the Jazz don't get the Warriors pick that KOC had enough assets to pick up a 2012 draft pick. I think he said lottery pick - but I think that would cost a bit. But maybe a late first/early second - something that could be used to grab Darius Miller.

Not a superstar but otherwise he's everything the Jazz need at SF.
Jazz gotta use the Memo trade exception on something.
 
My feelings about the 8th pick at this point:

If Barnes falls to us, then I would take a gamble on him. I like Cy's comparison of him to Luol Deng minus some defense, but maybe a little better in terms of scoring.

If Barnes doesn't fall, then I'm going all in on Marshall. He seems like exactly what this team needs: an incredible passer and leader to get the most out of all our weapons. Also, I'm not convinced that the guys with supposedly higher ceilings such as PJ3 are going to pan out. Marshall really seems like the obvious choice for this team, IMO.

Amen brother. My thoughts exactly. Grab Marshall then trade up some to grab miller in late first early second.

I had wanted to grab a SF with this draft but Millsap is looking pretty good there. Still should grab one though I think.

I got so used to thinking of Marshall as a guy worthy of a pick in the 20s that I'm slow to consider using the GS pick on him. But if the Jazz can acquire a late first/early second to grab Darius Miller then I feel pretty good about it all.

I'm not sure Darius Miller is much worse than Barnes - except he just doesn't have the scorer's mentality. But in the Jazz offense, where he won't be the focus anyway and all we need is a guy who can hit the 3 and play defense Miller fits the bill pretty well. And he won't cost a lottery pick.
