Jazz actually trying to move up?

[NUMBERICA]

Whys everyone suddenly down on Cousins? Is it to do with his body fat %?

It's to do with the fact that he's a punk-bitch and massive child. Watch his combine interviews and add that to the fact that he has one of the highest body fat percentages in combine history and you get a pretty clear picture that he's a problem.

That said, neither he nor Johnson are falling to #9. Absolutely no way. And if we're to be operating off of the information posted originally, how wouldn't someone trade up if all that had to be paid are the rights to Ante Tomic (this response being more to jazzmanian devil than to you)?

Too bad the TWolves don't have the #2 pick.

ya... yeah u rite

If you get #4, you take Wesley Johnson and don't look back. With Cousins, you'll have constant complaining that Sloan's too hard and that there's nothing to do in Utah. He's talented, but I can envision a Luther Wright-like fall from grace.

Johnson is a Utah kind of guy and IMO will end up being the best player from this draft.

What is a Utah kind of guy exactly?

This.

I don't know that Johnson will be the best player of this draft, but I will say that on the Jazz I can guarantee at least one All-Star game on his rookie contract. He's also what I'd consider to be one of only three sure-things in this draft as far as star-potential is concerned (the other two being Wall and Turner, Favors' lack of production/impact scares me, Cousins has insane boom/bust potential, and everyone else has significant question marks, IMO).

The Jazz aren't getting a first round pick, let alone a top 5, for an unproven European taken in the second round, who may or may not even ever play in the NBA. But I must say this was a nice fantasy.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Tomic will play in the NBA, he is quickly becoming one of the best Euro players in the top Euro league. He will make the transition eventually.
