To the AK haters

Sure, why we would want to win and get to playoffs now? Lets play young players and get another lottery pick which O'Connor will screw up anyway.

Yep, just like he has screwed up the Hayward, Kanter and Burks picks. And like he screwed up the Deron Williams pick. You can fault him for missing on Snyder and Humphries. Those were high enough that he should have gotten value. To his defense, I remember every draft expert giving Utah a grade in the range of B+ to A for those two selections. But any pick in the late teens through the end of the first is a total crap shoot.

What we should really do is criticize the hell out of the Jazz organization for giving a MAX deal to a player who was nowhere near that value, and who did not have bargaining power at the time. What they should have done is tell him to go out and prove he was worth the money; then the contract would follow. Who knows? Maybe a summer of actually working on his basketball skills instead of reading novels and playing video games would have made AK an elite player.

lol, I bet you where raving about AK in 2002-2003 same as you raving now about Hayward in... sad thing is Hayward will never be as good as AK so what you going to talk about Hayward after he is done playing for Jazz?

Would you care to compare AK's shooting stats in his rookie season against those of Hayward? Please, go ahead.
 
IMHO, he screwed up by not taking Chris Paul although I suspect Sloan had a lot to do with it as well. Hayward - jury still out. Kanter - again, I think there were better players available - will see how it will turn out. Point is - none of his picks from first round except Hayward who is still on rookie contract are with the Jazz - that tells he drafted poorly in first round, there is nothing to argue about it.

Hayward worst shooting night>AKs best shooting night.

that must be the most idiotic and bold statement. lets see...Hayward last season vs Oklahoma in March - 1-10 FG, 4-6 FT...I do not even need to look for AK games to show utter stupidity of this post.

When AK stays in Russia, will you stop posting on JazzFanz? Just curious. You are obviously not a Jazz fan, but simply an AK homer.

So if you just curious why then making such accusations? To answer, no I will not stop posting.

Whether his picks are on the team or not is irrelevant to the quality of his picks. So your assumtion that because only one of his 1st round picks is on the team means he drafted poorly is utter BS.

The only high pick he has had to date turned into a player that was a 3rd pick, a decent Veteran PG, a 3rd pick this year and a potential lottery pick next year. The other picks this guy has had to work with were iffy spots to begin with and one of them (Hayward) actually looks like it could be a good pick as well.

I'll not judge Kanter or Burks yet as they have not played a single game.

In that case, when it becomes clear he is staying in Russia, as he undoubtedly will, will you stop posting about AK?

I am just trying to figure out if I need to get you on my ignore list sooner rather than later.

The same Chris Paul that is hell-bent on destroying the franchise that did everything they could for him so he could ride the coat-tails of two OTHER overrated players to play for the most overrated franchise on earth?

Yeah, The Jazz blew that one.
 
Is AKMVP really the return of Sloanfail just with a new fixation? Hmmm.
