Greg Miller: We need to get bigger and we need to improve our shooting

[Beantown]

I should say that i say this also knowing nothing about kanter except that he is pussin out on working out against other players and has not proven himself over any amount of time.

But Kanter has nothing to gain. He is already a top 5 pick. Also playing against others increases risk of injury.

Kanter already destroyed Jared Sullinger, thats enough. Not to mention his athletic stats at the combine solidified him for me as the Jazz pick.

I think every team wants to get bigger and have shooters, it is no secret. You still get BPA.

Please draft get here soon. Icant wait to see the board erupt into a frenzy because koc took the bpa being knight. And then halfway into next season when we move harris for a solid wing and knight is running with favors and hayward everyone will be all on his nutz. Deja vu of our 2010 pick, fo real!

There are much better PG's in next years draft.

Really? Who?

Next years draft is loaded with Wings and some bigs. But top PG's? Haven't seen any even in the lottery on the few mocks that are out for next year.

Well bentley will try in some warped way explain kendall marshall is better than knight. So insane. I truly believe he looks at the player comparisons on nbadraft.net and decides who he wishes we would draft.

But I would really like Austin Rivers, I think he could play PG.

Ive seen myck many times at findlay. Good, but no where near knight. Marshall? Please not you too.

I didn't hear him mention Kanter at all. And in reference to Jimmer, he actually said the opposite...that the Jazz would draft BPA and there is more concern over building a winning team than putting a novelty on the floor. However, for the Kanter-lovers, there was mention that the Jazz are not in the least bit concerned about having too many players at one position. If that happens, then Greg said something to the effect the Jazz can sort it out later.

At least he recognizes his strength is not personnel and he's willing to leave those decisions in the hands of KOC and the coaching staff.

By "Going by what Greg said" - I meant - if we were to pick the best big and the best shooter, in my humble estimation - we should look at Kanter and Jimmer.

Apologies for not being clear on that point.

Note: I have since updated the original post to reflect this.

It's interesting to me that even though we all seems to think that the team is loaded with bigs, and that we may need to trade someone away if we pick Kanter - Greg Miller is of the opinion that we should still get bigger.

That to me tells me that picking another PF and/or C is not out of the question for the Jazz in this draft.

And the best PF and/or C outside of Derrick Williams would be Kanter.

The End.

Please say your joking. Those 3 are not even close to Knight.

Rivers on the other hand I wouldn't mind. But that would be like having the Curry problem. Not really a PG, to small to play the 2.

No thats why I put him last, I want Austin Rivers.

Austin Rivers is not a PG Bean He is a SG in a PG body.
