Musings on this upcoming draft

The floatation devices on the mom in the background as the little girl gets shot are mesmerizing.

That was actually the 1st thing I noticed as well.

This year's draft is as good as last year's draft. There are solid starters and role players in this draft. Irving is as good as Wall, just a different type of PG. Williams is as good as any SF in last year's draft. Kanter looks good, as does Knight. There is some depth at the forward position. It's not that bad.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Its not a bad draft for the Jazz if you change your expectations. Normally you would expect a 6 pick to be a starter and challenge for an allstar--well maybe this year you get a guy who is a contributor but isn't an allstar

maybe that 12th pick ends up being a roll player.

Most teams make a mistake by swinging for the fences with thier picks, always pursuing that ever ellusive 'upside', thats why players like Redd, Milsap, Mathews fall.

Well the jazz kind of have a mulligan in this draft. With the 12th pick they can take a swing for the fences or play it safe. With the canidates available I'm leaning towards playing it safe--Fredette or Singlton.

Drafting the Jimmer is playing it safe. Your talking about the Jimmer that played for BYU right?
