Following potential 2012 draftees

I'm just one of the forward thinking negative nancys that's sad the jazz made the playoffs. Especially against the spurs. I'm so bored I'm tempted to not even watch. But I will 'cause I'm like that. Wah. But that pick maybe coulda been Marshall or Lillard or Rivers. And if all was left was Rivers either you keep him, or you could use him a deal to get Rondo.

Wah wah wah. Whatever here we are.

Back on topic. I've been impressed with Burks in his first year sans training camp. I would NOT want to trade him.
 
Think about how much Hayward's matured both physically and psychologically in just one year here. He was pretty shaky last year though his percentages don't really demonstrate that I suppose. In any case, he would be a senior right now had he stayed at Butler. The growth in those two years is astronomical. I see no reason Marshall can't improve that same amount. Marshall too could be light years ahead of where he was this year as a sophomore come 2014. If he can improve his athleticism (quickness, speed, first step, strength, jumping, overall conditioning, etc.) and shot (even just a little bit) like Gordo did, we'll have a steal at #8 or 9. I think if we can get him, have Stockton work with him over a summer or two, re-sign Evans (he's very cheap and brings strong intangibles and energy without crying for time) and sign Brandon Rush, we'd have one helluva ****ing roster taking shape.

Harris-Marshall-Tinsley-Watson
Hayward-Burks
Rush-Carroll
Millsap-Favors-Evans
Jefferson-Kanter

I am also very excited about Kanter next year. If I have faith in some guy being hard on himself and busting his *** to perfect his craft, it's Kanter. He could improve a freakin' ton when we take everything into consideration.

I agree with this. I also think that Burks sees the holes in his game and he seems hungry. Next year could be great.

Also if any GM thought that he was a younger version of post 30 Kidd he goes number 2 no doubt. Thats not even close to the case. He is more Mark Jackson than anything else. Kidd? LMFAO!

If he is Mark Jackson (but not a douche), why should we not be excited to have him?

This is what Burks need to do. Not attack 'fast' all the time. He needs to also attack 'strong'.

I see your point, but guess what I meant is if we are comparing possible best case scenarios Kidd is not who he is. I am trying to recall some of Jacksons best years and all I am coming up with is top 15-20 PG. I dont think we should trade Burks and a pick for that.
 
First, someone has to leap frog Golden State. This will happen.
Second, the Jazz need to get the 15 or 16 pick they're rumored to be looking to acquire.

Then Jazz can draft Marshall at 8 and Quincy Miller at 15.
Both of those guys are far from their ceilings - which I only have a moderate confidence in them reaching - but given the position the Jazz are in it's a decent gamble. If one of them pans out I'll be thrilled.
...I wonder what it will take to get that 15th pick?
 
Haha, MKG just mailed me a b'day present .. "the NO-1 greater" national championship hat with his signature. I called him to thank him and bitch about him writing on an otherwise great hat. He said he's emailing a video of him signing with a birthday 'song.'

I admit I'm gloating a bit .. only because he is such a great, great kidd.
