Rethinking a PG in 2012 draft

I think you have to take a PG with your highest pick reguardless. We already have our potential 2,3,4,5 ( and anyone of them can turn into an AllStar) now lets get our leader and row with it!

No. Waaay too much talent to dismiss BPA and just take PG.

While I can see where you are coming from, the 2012 class is so loaded the Jazz need to approach it a little differently. Assuming the Jazz only have one pick and are drafting around the same spot (12), it has to be 80% weighted on BPA, and 20% on need, where as in most years its probably 50/50 when your drafting at that spot.
 
I was assuming two picks (I know). IF we do, I think we have a good shot at both Teague and an elite SF .. dependent upon how draft order is determined.

I originally thought two picks would be a lock but with the entire NBA season now in jeopardy it looks unlikely. If that happened Stern would probably do something similar to the NHL that took an average of the last three years. If this happens Minny obviously gets the Jazz non lottery pick, and the GS pick is ours at 8 I think. If Stern takes the last 4 years average, the GS becomes a top 7 pick and we miss out on both. Not fun to think about.

Yeah that would be dumb and I really hope there's a season! Stupid millionares and billionares, can't we all just get a long and get something done? Lol, I'd play for 50,000 :)
 
Without knowing what our two spots are, I'd have to withhold opinion. Having said that, I suspect I will disagree as this is such a deep draft (especially SF's) and we could be giving up too much for too little ... tradeable asset, at least.
With deep draft two lottery picks (likely to happen) worth even more. We have too much rookies to hold both picks.
 
Even with our "too much rookies" .. I think we have to capitalize on this DEEP draft ... as I said in the above quoted.

Just so you know, the reason there's a photo of Harris next to the word leader in your dictionary is because you're his mama and you use photos of him as bookmarks, hot plate holders, scratch pads, monopoly money and anything else you can figure out a way to use a photo of your baby for. You're just a little obsessed with your little boy (which is certainly not a bad thing) but your opinion of him isn't exactly objective. Here's to hoping he lives up to your hype. I like the guy a lot, but I'll be thrilled if he gets even halfway to the level that you suggest he's already attained.
