I thinks it fair to say enes was by far the highest risk with perhaps the highest reward in the lottery.
Burks can be a PG offensively, like a Brandon Roy. We will need a player to defend the opposing teams PG on the defensive end though. Burks couldn't guard the small, super quick guards.

I think a few of things that I like about Kanter are:
1. The 5% body fat. For a heavier big, this is outstanding. It also shows discipline and hard work. that always transfers.
2. Rebounding. Euro bigs that don't rebound are plenty, and they all suck. If you rebound, you are working.
3. He can shoot outside, but LIKES to play inside. If you are that big and even have a little skill you can be successful if you are willing to go inside. Look at Memo who has the footwork of an ox. When he went inside he was effective. Look at Fes for that matter when he could hold onto the ball. The lack of true big guys in the NBA makes skilled bigs look even better.
4. We have other good bigs around him. Not many teams have a stable of good young bigs. Thats as good as cash on the trade market once we find where are biggest holes lie.

So he could rebound against a bunch of Euro big who don't rebound?

I think of all the assets the big guy possesses, rebounding will be the one that initially stands out to you. He is said by many to have a knack for rebounding.

wow. just watched some interviews with the kid.
kid is the key word.
it just hit me how young he is.
he looks like a pimply kid right out of high school (which he kinda is) stuck in a giants body.
guess it didnt hit me how young our core is getting till i saw his face up close in the interview.

Come on guys, factor in team needs before you go patting yourselves on the back for Knight falling. We all knew if the Jazz did not take him he would fall at least a couple of places if not more. He was the first point guard taken after Kyrie.

Yep, Infinately better than not getting rebounds against Euro bigs who don't rebound. Which is further reason why Euro bigs who don't rebound suck. I suspect that half of all shots in Europe bounce off the rim hit the floor two or three times then go out of bounds, while everybody watches it happen.
I suspect they are mesmorized by the trapezoidal key and hot Czech girlfriends.

Favors at least has the length and athleticism to play the center position. The others(including Kanter) seems like PF's to me. logjam.

I think that jefferson, favors and kanter can all play the 4 or 5 effectively.
