The future is bright for the utah jazz!

The only problem with your lineup is it has CJ starting. Wait one other problem is it has CJ on the team.
 
Totally agree with the "We dont need an elite PG" camp. Harris is more than good enough for us to do very well.
 
But if we are in position to add a elite PG, we take it, right? I'd rather have a top 5 PG then a top 20 SG.

My top 5 choices if we stay at 6- Enes Kanter, Smack, Brandon Knight, Vessely, Kemba

My top 5 choices if we stay at 12- (If Kemba,Jones,Vessely,Donatas,Kemba,Burks been drafted already) Jordan Hamilton, Kawhi Leonard, Tyler Honeycutt, Chris Singleton,Jimmer

It was very hard finding guys I actually want from this class, thats how bad it is

Here are the cons I have read about from my list of guys
Kanter- Not playing in college and may have bad knees, Euros scare me
Smack- Very Limited offensively, maybe age concern
Knight- Takes a lot of shots, thin build
Vessely- Can he shoot, once again Euro
Kemba- Small, not a lot of potential

Donatas- Attitude, euro, thin
Jones- Weird shooting form, didn't impress in NCAA tourney, SF/PF hybrid
Burks- Can he shoot the 3
Hamilton- Questionable shot selection, quickness
Honeycutt- Thin, passive, not great 3 point shooter
Leonard- 3 point shooting, not overly skilled
Singleton- Very streaky, offensive skills
Jimmer- Too small for SG, defense, shot selection, athleticism

Have you heard the age concern on Smack from a legitimate source, or is it just that he's African so you figure nobody kept track? He's the son of a government official, not some tribesman who wandered in out of the bushes. His age appears to be pretty legitimate and easily documented.

Why all the love for Harris? He can't play pg in the jazz system. So if we groom Irving under Harris e isn't going to learn how to play properly in Utah. Memo is done. The only reason I want memo around is because his wife is so hot. Mmmmm Eye candy.

Well, none of us know what the new Jazz system is going to look like yet, so that statement may be a bit off. Harris is skilled PG. He once was considered an All-Star. The guy can ball, and the guy can help us win games.

Jazz system? What is that exactly? Is it a law, a mandate to play only in one certain way? There is no "Jazz system". There was a Sloan system but he is gone now.

What the Jazz need to develop is the Corbin-Favors-Hayward+1 system and discard any old concepts. The old concepts never got the team to the promised land anyway.

it's not like i dislike harris, but he's 28 and it'd be cool to draft a young stud pg to be groomed. I also agree to not take minutes from Favors. I don't think I ever said Memo would take his minutes, though did I? Even if Memo can give 15-20 minutes a night and open things up (like I said) for Paul, Al, AND DERRICK)

I agree the wings should be a focus, too. So if we keep both picks, do we go after a combo guard like Knight or Jimmer or do we look at a Jan Vesely (taller version of AK will a jump shot) and maybe a Jordan Hamilton?

I'm curious as to who you would want to draft?

I know you didn't directly say Memo would take minutes from Favors, but isn't that basically what you're implying? How do you see Memo fitting into the rotation if not? Al is gonna get his 35 minutes, Millsap should get 30 as our sixth man. We need Favors to get atleast 30 minute per game, so I don't see where that leaves Memo. Not to mention it's likely he will never be the same player he was (which wasn't that much to begin with).

As far as the draft, it all depends where we pick. If we get a top 3 pick, I want Derrick Williams or Barnes. If it stays at number 6, it's gonna be tough. I would try hard to trade our 6 and 12 to move into the top 3, or 2 if Barnes doesn't declare. Otherwise, Kanter and Biyombo seem to be the popular choices around here at 6. I wouldn't mind either, and would take either ahead of Kemba and Knight. At 12 if either Kemba or Knight are available, I say we go for one of them, since they will likely be the best players available at that point.
 
Memo is done, Cj needs to be shot, make Millsap are 6th man 20 min. At pf 10 min. at sf, bell needs to become a jazz dancer, his true calling in life start Favors, Play him 35 min. And give him minutes at the c spot behind Al, Memo doesn't need to play anymore he has a hot wife he will be just fine. Let Hayward blossom into the star he will become, and run the offense through him as are playmaker allowing us to take advantage of Harris strength on offense. Ty needs to discover is own philosophy as a coach.
