I hope the jazz draft Kanter & jimmer.

The jazz would have a great bench.

1st team. Harris/Hayward/Milsap/Jefferson/Favors
2nd team Jimmer/Miles/AK/Kanter/Memo
 
Just wondering you're opinion, why Jimmer over a guy like Chris Singleton? Considering they are both there
 
Why Jimmer?

1) POY
2) Best scorer available
3) second fastest at combine means he is more than capable to stay in front of his man on D
4) it is a huge advantage to force someone to guard you 30 feet out. Can you imagine the lanes that would open up for the strength of the team: post scoring
5) the ability to shoot hides many weaknesses
6) he will be able to drive if people have to guard him thirty feet out

By the way if this happens Kanter and Jimmer will start by year two.
 
Straight line sprinting has extremely little to do with staying in front of your man on defense. In fact, it's really only helpful when your man blows by you...so I guess it's good that Jimmer possesses it.
 
He wasn't the fastest in straight line it was the agility drills. He is quick not fast. Quicker than kemba walker and Brandon Knight
 
That doesn't mean he tried vary hard on D in college it means he is physically capable of staying in front of his man in the pros though.

Being able to "physically do it" doesn't shut the door. Playing D isn't just doing lane slides quickly. It's having the ability to anticipate and read the moves of the offensive player. Jimmer hasn't shown he can/is willing to do that.
 
D is something that can be learned. If he were a great defender he would be a top three pick. However, you can't teach someone to score like Jimmer.
