Can the Jazz pick this kid up with a later round draft pick? He's touted to be the "real" steal of this draft by some "experts!" A "can't miss" NBA star!
Sleeper of this draft? PAUL GEORGE!!!

i hate that comparison
Granger was proven in college as being a all around efficient player on a good New Mexico team.

Paul George is certainly not worth a lottery pick. He struggled against Utah State this past year and was very inconsistent. Apparently he has been wowing scouts in his pre-draft workouts, but I think they are just enamored with his athleticism with his size. His shooting percentages went down from his junior year and he's known to take bad shots. But he is a pesky defender that can tally up steals and can bang the boards for rebounds with his size. But selecting him at #9? Waste of a pick. He's worth a late teens/20's pick.

I could live with that. The athleticism and length is intriguing.

He's very intriguing. I see him as a Rudy Gay but better defensively.

his junior year? he was only a sophomore this year and just turned 20 last month. yes his numbers did go down from his freshman year but he still shot 35% from 3 and increased his FT% to 90%. he played on a bad team with a horrible coach. i wouldnt pay much attention to his numbers, he is a pure scorer and can obviously shoot. waste of a pick at #9? if he goes outside the lottery he is the steal of the draft. let me guess you want the jazz to pick aldrich, monroe, or babbit over him?
paul george needs to be the pick. he has the most upside of any wing player in this draft and will end up being the best NBA player out of them. the guy is a pure scorer and can be a very good defender. the jazz need a dynamic scorer on the wing......this guy is the answer.

Not sure how anyone could be a "sleeper" when they have had as much pub as PG has. The guy has been invited to the green room and some have him going in the top ten. I like him a lot and would be happy if he ended up in Utah but don't get the sleeper thing. He is not a great shooter but he has huge upside.

Kenwood gets my vote as the best successor to KOC. Those would be great picks at #12 and #16. If they turned out to both be busts, I would not criticize the Jazz.
I have a similar view on the Humphries/Snyder picks. Those were decent choices. Many experts gave the Jazz an A. Didn't pan out, but both had a ton of potential. Who knew Snyder was half-crazy and Humphries was Amaechi's love child?

....it was just something I read in Yahoo sports NBA, so I took it and ran with it! The "expert" said 5 years from now this kid will be considered the BEST player to come out of this years draft, John Wall included! Probably doesn't mean anything.
Just to toot my own vuvuzela, I was the one who threw out this thought...
