Following potential 2013 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
The Jazz are one player away from a serious contending team. I'm just not sure who that player is yet. Someone has to become a go-to scorer and emotional leader.
I'm telling in the next two weeks zzzzzz
IMO, it's an absolute leader that has the respect of the team, knows the Play book, and executes the offense....

It's a point guard, I'm telling you. A point guard who can thrive in the pick and roll, find spots for players like Derrick Favors, run pick and pops with Kanter. Find cutters like Hayward, Burks, Kanter.
I truly think that we are one competent point guard away from having a very solid, Pacers-remeniscent core.

I refuse to agree with George! I hate the name black Jesus Burke and find it repulsive. I say let's draft cj McCullum!

If GS finishes 8th or 9th, we won't need to trade up for Burke.

In all honesty man, the only way I see Burke not being draft late lottery is if he just collapses in the NCAA tournie this March.
He's well-rounded, leading the way for one of the top teams on the nation, gets consistent defensive attention, and still gets it done night in night out. If Michigan gets to at least Elite 8, Burke is going 12-14th. Book it.
I don't normally wish for any team or anyone to fail. But I wouldn't be completely unhappy if somehow Michigan got tripped up in one of their elimination games. Hopefully Burke & Robinson III slides and we pick them both up. They'll get to come to a very exciting young team with Kanter & Favors - so in the end I think it'll be beneficial to them.

Dude, same here. I don't want Burke to slide down too far, out of fear that KOC won't draft him as well.
But honestly, I just can't see them being a first round exit again this year. Too much talent. I'm gonna claw my eyes out when I see Burke get drafted by a team like the Dallas Mavericks. I've been following this dude since he started playing for Michigan last year, and I've loved him and supported him continuously. Dude is shooting almost 49% from the field, 37% from three, and can hit shots off the dribble, with feet set, whatever.
Honestly, hes gonna lead Michigan pretty far. He's a perfect floor general. Im telling you guys-- PERFECT for this Jazz roster.
If there is a God, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us Black Jesus. PLEASE.
They've been sliding a bit recently though 1-3 over the last 4, for whatever reasons. They don't really have a strong inside presence at the moment, so they're not unbeatable by any means.

Like George, I disagree. We might not need to move up too far, but we will need to move up.
A late lottery pick, our pick, and a future pick is over-paying for Burke. I still think he goes around 12/13.
I like Burke and he's my pick for this draft, but I'd Love to trade the GSW pick plus?? for a top 10 next year and snag Kasey Hill (assuming we can't get Andrew Harrison).
Then, with our pick this year maybe take Kabongo and have a year to see how he produces before we know how badly we need a PG for next year. Next year's class is badass .. I don't care how many people thrown out the "we hear that every year" thang.
