If you had to pick between Stockton & Malone

Can you seriously tell me that Bogut had the same inside/outside game back then? He still doesn't have a jumper let alone a 3pt shot.

Agree about Bogut's perimeter game - and this is where people confuse someone who "can hit a jumpshot" to someone who "has a jumpshot they can hit consistently." Bogut took and made a handful of 3's at Utah, and alot of scouting reports went off the assumption that since he showed he "could make" college 3's, that it would translate to someone who "would make" mid-range jumpshots consistently in the nba.
 
I think you have to go with Malone over Stockton, as Malone was the 2-time MVP. Malone would have been great on any team, whereas I think a small part of Stocton's huge success was the type of offense ran by the Jazz. If Stockton played in the triangle for the Bulls, he might just have ended up as an All Star-version of John Paxson and not the living legend he is.
 
Never quite thought about that Utah is deciding between 2 Calipari prospects. Looking at Calipari players, with the exception of Marcus Camby, his guards (Wall, Rose, Evans) have faired better than his big men (Barron, Orton, Cousins) thus far in the pros. He knows what he is doing with guards and I don't believe he would tell a player to go to the NBA if he didn't think that player was ready (patrick patterson waiting until his Jr. year as an example), so you have to think that Knight has the goods. I tend to think that Utah already has its future Karl Malone in Derrick Favors.
 
Im a little torn. Kanter would be great but we have Millsap, Jefferson, Favors, which is a young exciting big man rotation. All Utah has is Harris at pg. I'd much rather see them pick up a pg to add a little depth. I would love to see this happen. Millsap for Robin Lopez, 13th pick, then trade Harris for Batum and the 21st pick, then draft Knight, Jimmer, Singleton and a choice of Jon Leuer, Tyler Honeycutt, Marshon Brooks, Jeremy Tyler. Yes the team might be alittle young but give it 2 years and Utah has a contender in the works.

Knight, Jimmer
Hayward, Miles
Batum, Singleton
Favors, Tyler
Jefferson, Lopez

I like Kanter, but if somehow KOC takes Knight - this is exactly what I would like to see.

Well done.

I owe you 1 rep for this but need to spread it around first, LOL.

There is no need to choose.

Love Favors, but the sooner Jazz fans realize there won't be another Karl Malone the less disappointed they will be.

I have thought about this before. Who in the NBA is the closest physically to Karl Malone? IMO it's LeBron James. James is one inch shorter and 15 lbs lighter, but he could easily bulk up 15 lbs. Has the NBA game changed enough that there will never be another Karl? If Karl grew up today, would he be a huge SF like LeBron instead of a big guy?
