My dream draft:
- Thread starter pappyman
- Start date

You conveniently left Westbrook off of that list which would hurt your argument. DWill2 vs. Durant is not a fair comparison. We are talking about one of the best in the NBA versus someone who hasn't played a game in the NBA.

I am more enamored with Kanter to be honest. He looks legit.

Try this one. The Clippers?
Hayward will never ever be as athletic as D Wade, Williams might be able to jump like LeBron but will not have the same speed, Favors beats Bosh.
Harden is more athletic than Hayward by far, D Will can be labeled more "athletic" than Durant, and Ibaka Favors is close.

Huh?
Based on potential Ibaka doesn't have the potential to be an all-league player?
Durant vs Dwill? Push? You're wrong. Durant is one of the top 3 players in the entire league. He's arguably the best athlete in basketball. You're grossly overrating Dwill. If he can be Luol Deng it would be a success.
Hayward vs Sel by a mile? ********. Sel is a fine player, far better defender than Hayward. Hayward isn't better than any of Thunder players by a mile. No, not even Nick Collison.
You conveniently left out Westbrook, who's probably the most athletic PG other than Rose.
And Harden is more athletic than any SG/SF we currently have.
You have absolutely not argument.

When someone says positions 2,3, & 4, that means Shooting Guard, Small Forward and Power Forward. FYI, Westbrook is a point guard.

When someone purposely disregards the other two positions because it makes his argument look weak, I tend to think they are being a little disingenuous. What other reason do they have for singling out 60% of a starting lineup to try to make a point?

Yeah, I like Kanter a lot too. He's the safer pick so given the choice I'd probably go with him too. But I'm so eager for a defensive presence so I might be idealizing Bismack into best case scenario.
Nope. I'm just a realist. It is not likely that the Jazz are going to move up into the top 3 of the draft with their own draft pick (#12 overall). I was simply looking at from a best-player-available POV. And how do you know that it will be a "waste" of a draft pick, as you call it? Aren't people like you the same type of people that said drafting Gordon Hayward with the #9 overall a "waste" of a draft pick? Look how that one worked out. Especially if the Jazz were to "waste" it on a player like Fredette, who was the highest-scoring player in college basketball this last season. If a player can score in college like that, he will definitely be able to score in the NBA. Wasn't one of the Jazz's biggest weaknesses this last season outside shooting? Because I'm pretty sure that it was. Unless the Jazz draft a point guard with their first draft pick, I think that it would be a very wise pick.
Keen appraisal. Your points are almost as strong as Jimmer_Fan's.
The ghost of Morris Almond's NBA career disagrees with all of these points.
