Following potential 2013 draftees

I just want to add too that the one thing that every single championship team is not a dominant center, or a dominant wing, or a dominant defense. It's an alpha male who leads and isn't afraid to grab control of the team and demand greatness of his teammates. Oladipo is exactly that type of guy.

What separates Oladipo from Ronnie Brewer? I haven't seen him play much.

Infinitely better shooting, better overall defense (Ronnie was very good but Oladipo is sick lockdown), and most importantly a nonstop motor and leadership. He could say follow me and put guys on his back.

IMO we desperately need a point guard but Oladipo's the way to go. If he measures out at greater than or equal to Hayward in standing reach/wingspan, he needs to be our guy. Lockdown defender, greatly efficient on offense, athletic. Imagine Hayward at the 2, Oladipo at the 3, Favors at the 4, Kanter at the 5 on the defensive end. That could be insane defensively, with the right coach anyway. If we slide, which I think we will, we may be able to get Burke with our pick and then, we may be able to package our GS pick with Jefferson to move up to around #10 to get Oladipo. Possibly. Doubtful but possible. Pray Noel comes out.

I'd do that. I doubt any other team would though. A lottery team by definition would want no part of Jefferson IMO.

But yes I agree Oladipo is an ideal Utah Jazz player. I can imagine him being a combination of Brewer & Korver, which is a magical combination of stingy, tough defense with sharp shooting.

You also get coach Crean as his personal advisor/motivator, a 2 for 1 deal.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...he may be shooting 51% from 3, but it's only on 1.7 attempts. That's a decent number of attempts, but not enough to call him a sharp shooter ala Korver.

Yeah, his comparison's not very good. I think a more passionate/intense Michael Cooper is about perfect.
