Utah Jazz -- Enes Kanter, Kentucky 3 of 31


Teams are growing increasingly fond of Kanter, and his diverse skill-set. Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson are very good players, but Kanter has the potential to be better than both of them. With his size and willingness to bang, the Jazz will be hard-pressed not to take the Turkish 19-year-old.


Utah Jazz -- Brandon Knight, Kentucky 12 of 31 First Slide Previous Slide

GM Kevin O'Connor is praying Knight falls into his lap at 12 here, and I think he just may. Even with Jerry Sloan now gone, the Jazz are still keen on drafting high character guys with as little baggage as possible. (We all remember the Kirk Synder debacle). I'm not as high on Knight as my piers, but his shooting ability and plus size at the point position fill two gaping holes. It's because of these two factors that Knight would allow coach Tyrone Corbin to play the two together, with both on and off the ball at the same time.

Book it.
 
There is no way Knight drops past Charlotte at 9, and I don't see him getting past Toronto. Utah might be able to work out a swap with Toronto. Kanter @ #3 for Knight @ #5.
 
Amazing how wildly different some of these mock drafts are in their evaluations.

Yes, and the day after the draft they delete their mocks and start handing out draft grades to the teams before the new guys even play a game.

I think I will do a post draft Mock draft grade for 5 or 6 of the mocks this year.

I never knew the Huffington Post was updated to include any sports, let alone draft speculation. That site is known more for politics and business stories, so I don't think I'd take that as the best source for draft news. Interesting, but HIGHLY unlikely
 
Huffington should stick to things they know, like, um...criticizing Republicans. And jetting around in private planes and SUV's while talking about reducing global warming.
