Jazz considering Jonas Valanciunas at #3

[sepanol]

I didn't. You did in a oddly vague way by saying Kanter won't become DH and JV/DF won't shoot like Dirk.

If you seriously are so high on Kanter that you think he'd get picked over Favors then enjoy your Turkish hash. We don't see the good stuff very often around here.

I just answered to ur manipulation of my msg before that made me look like saying only Kanter can get better. Im not so high on turkish players, if so then i would talk a bit about memo too but i didnt. Maybe our basketball views are too different but i see Favors as a consistent allstar player if he works hard, not as much as being 1st pick in any draft.

But if u want we can have a small bet, i say Kanter will avg at least 15 ppg 8rpg next yr. what do u think

 

[Brown Notes]

I got a better one. JV will clearly be the better player in 3 years.

 

[sepanol]

3 yrs too long, lets make it 2. But whats the determantion of better player? better stats? and are u sure if JV will play this year?

I doubt JV will play in the NBA this year because of the lockout. Whoever picks him will take advantage by having him play another full season of competitive ball. Kanter on the other hand, may have to continue to not play because of the lockout.

i heard its certain lockout gonna happen but how long will it probably take , does anyone have an idea? i dont know the latest rumors in us

I also heard, if lockout will be for long, many european players including Gasol will return to europe.

No one knows. It seems very probable it will push back the start of the season though. Th

The lockout plays in JV's favor heavily. If there is a shortened season then yea 2 years no prob. I don't know what to bet. Send me some of that hash you're smoking. The in-laws would appreciate it. In Idaho we have nice potatoes, you might like them.

I said clearly better so we shouldn't need a metric to figure it out. But when the time comes I'll be happy to provide that.

haha, i dont smoke hash, but i ment not for a specific reward, just for discussion, for example i can create a thread as u wish me to do, by telling my deepest apologizes )
Btw JV is a pure center while Kanter is smthng like a 4/5. So im not sure how much comparable are they, but i can say , Kanter is a pretty naive guy. If he fails in nba, its probably becuz of out of the court reasons.
For example, in his interview when he was 16, he was telling its too early for nba, now im following the footsteps of my veteran teammates and wanna make a good careeer in Turkey then when im more experienced i may go to Nba....
But after he is declared ineligible by ncaa, he didnt return back to europe becuz Calipari convinced him. He is still a kid and gets effected by other peoples talk too much, i hope he will grow up in nba.

btw, clearly better is a too strong word. its pretty impossible he will be Clearly better than kanter unless 8-9 bones on kanters legs will be broken and never heal again

If Kanter can play good defense, I'm all for taking him. The only problem is, there is nearly zero game footage of him against real competition to see his defensive abilities/effort. I just have a fear that he is going to a Boozer/Jefferson-esque defender. It's hard for me to really give an opinion on how he will be in the NBA because of this. He could be a complete bust, a good player, or potentially an All-Star.

Got a link? Rhetorical ... because, as I've said before, this is DEAD wrong. What is your source of your misinformation? I think it's just a romatically-inspired assumption that Enes would want to return to Turkey (born in Switzerland, btw) ... when he was only a few months from an NBA draft .. really? He left Turkey because he didn't want to get locked into a contract .. he wants to be in the NBA.
