Looks like Kanter or PG

I'm not real worried about who we take at 3. If I'm picking, my order is;
Irving
Williams
Kanter
Knight

... as long as it's one of those four .. I'd be disappointed with Kemba, but TRULY believe if it's a PG it's definitely Knight for the Jazz.
 
No idea, but I wouldn't want to look any lower than 5th for the initial pick .. unless it meant non-protected early lottery for 2012 ..

Summary- If it happens, Cavs will get Rip Hamilton and 8th pick from Pistons for trade LBJ's trade exception. They will then trade 8th and 4th pick for the 2nd and draft D-Will2 who they love. They will then buy out Rip

So that leaves the Jazz either taking Kanter or Knight/Walker which isn't a bad thing, I just really wanted D-will2

You can have BOTH!

Pick Kanter @ #3
Pick Fredette @ #12

Fredette is a heady player who has ice in his veins, can shoot lights out from 3pt with unlimited range. Plus, we have Hayward to help do a lot of playmaking and ball handling - we don't need another PG who will be a ball hog. We need a PG who can shoot.

A fit for Jazz's system
Who would you rather have to run the Jazz's system - a Billups type player - composed, calm, big enough to set screens, can knock down the 3pt when called upon. Or - a Westbrook type player - athletic (granted), but at times erratic and turnover prone (*cough* Knight *cough*).

Comparison to Billups
As I've said in other threads, I see Fredette as being a Billups type player and Billups is at least his ceiling. Billups isn't overly athletic, he doesn't play above the rim, he doesn't make flashy pass. But who he does bring is stability, runs the team, and makes his living making 3pts. Opponents respect his 3pt which enables him to make plays for others.

I actually wouldn't mind this at all. Although I'm currently doing my diligence on Valanciunas. As of today, I'm not sure between him and Kanter.
 
Sooo.... Minny is being typical dumbass Minny.

If the draft goes the way they're saying in this article:

1. Irving (Cavs)
2. Dwill (Cavs)
Then that leaves the Jazz with two choices:
1. Kanter
2. Knight

Whatever the Jazz don't choose, would probably end up being the 4th pick. So kanter/knight (whoever the Jazz pass)

So Minny would then choose either Kanter or Knight. Brilliant, for a team that already has love and a bunch of PGs.

No wonder why they're constantly in the lottery
 
It's actually pretty smart by Minnesota. I'm guessing they are eying Jonas or Kanter. At least one of them will drop to them at 4, if not both.
 
This is far from a done deal though. They could be looking at moving Michael Beasley to make room for Williams.
 
Jazz give: #3, #12 and Jazz Player X (Miles?)
Jazz get: #2, #18 and Wolves Player (Flynn) - draft Williams and Brooks/Jackson/Selby/Jimmer if he drops

Wizards give: #6, #18 and player they want to move
Wizards get: #12 and Jazz Player X (Miles)

Wolves give: #2 and Wolves Player (Flynn)
Wolves get: #3, #6 and a player from the Wizards

Summary:
- Good move for the Wolves, since they would pick a PG at 3 and Biyombo or Valanciunas at 6. This is better than the Cavs/Pistons proposal. They just need to take back a player from the Wizards.

- Okay move for the Wizards if they like Miles, like a player available at 12, and want to move a contract to the Wolves.

- The Jazz get to draft Williams and still pick up a rotation player at 18. They give up Miles and take back Flynn as a back-up. It all depends on how passionate the Jazz are about moving up to take Williams.
 
I wonder how the Jazz management feels about Williams. I wonder after he does a private workout with us if we will make any kind of attempt to get him.

My take would be they're not convinced he can play SF. Also doesn't seem his big personality would fit the Jazz. I'd say they let the 2nd pick slide and take whoever's left.
 
I know several people have posted this, but it does make some sense to offer #3 and #12 to the Wolves for #2 and #20.
If need be, we could flip a couple of players like Evans or Miles for Flynn. The Jazz would pick Williams and a rotation player at #20.

If the Wolves like Kanter, this makes a lot of sense for them. I can see wanting two picks in the top 10 though.

If the Wolves like Kanter that much, they'd take him at #2.
