A young core of Favors, Kanter, and Hayward is hot. Kanter reminds me of Bogut, not saying he will be Bogut. But he reminds me of Bogut.
We should take Kanter with the 6

Yeah I tend to agree, he's got good size. He's also a skilled and crafty big man who I think will complement Favors' power game. I can see Kanter putting a move on his man and dishing to Favors for easy layups or dunks all day long.
He reminds me a bit of a bigger (255 lbs vs 245 lbs) and taller (6'10 vs 6'9) version of Scola. If he can score the way Scola can, he'll be a big star in this league.

Oh God. I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record but Kanter reminds me (in the footage I've seen) of a less skilled, less athletic Kevin Love. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Love. But I'm not sure how much I'd love him if he were on the Jazz. Kid plays no defense. And if we think Booze and Jefferson have been slow in help defense the last few years, Kanter looks even less mobile.

But I think that's why he'll complement Favors.. we have a defensively minded big in Favors - then add to that someone who could score in the post like Kanter.. I don't think Kevin Love has that big of a post game to be honest, a lot of his points come from 3s and 18 foot jumpers..

Kanter will get his **** swatted thrice per game.

There's on way in hell he lasts that long.
There are concerns out there about Kanter's bum knee.
It has been hurt off and on for a while.
I don't want to draft a Greg Oden, who barely plays for us and is injured.

I'll reiterate again the historical 6th picks:
2010 Ekpe Udoh
2009 Jonny Flynn
2008 Danilo Gallinari
2007 Yi Jianlian
2006 Brandon Roy
2005 Martell Webster
2004 Josh Childress
2003 Chris Kaman
2002 Dajuan Wagner
2001 Shane Battier
2000 DerMarr Johnson
1999 Wally Szczerbiak
1998 Robert Traylor
1997 Ron Mercer
1996 Antoine Walker
1995 Bryant Reeves
I'd say the only real winners were Kaman and Roy (who fell to 6th due to injury concerns which did eventually came true right as we speak).
So if Kanter is even remotely as good as he has proven to be so far (offensively), he'll be a steal for us as the 6th pick. IMHO.

Ok didn't know that - do you have any source that you could put here for us to peruse?

the knee stuff won't be silenced until GMs get to look at him in workouts. KOC saw Kanter in a workout a few weeks ago. But it's not like he's gonna show his hand, which is good because if his knee truly is a problem I want some other idiot grabbing him before the Jazz.
Gallo is pretty good and Wally was an all-star.
I think that Udoh has shown potential, Gallenari will be a steal, Battier has been a star in Memphis, Walker was an Allstar. With the verdict sill out on Childress, flynn, and Yi. I don't want Utah to take a big unless the Jazz move Millsap to the 3 or trade him, Favors, or big AL.
What Millsaps and Jefferson our like 25 or 26?

You won't know if he can destroy the competition in the NBA until the lockout is over since he has been avoiding any competition leading to the draft. Too bad the stupid NCAA ruled him ineligible.
