Why not Leonard?!?!

I would think that they took Alec Burks instead of Leonard or Singleton because the Jazz think that Millsap is their future at the SF spot. IMO, this draft solidifies Millsap as the starter at SF this upcoming season. If he doesn't work out, they can always try to trade him. Here is my depth chart for this season:

PG: Devin Harris, Earl Watson, Free Agent
SG: Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Raja Bell
SF: Paul Millsap, C.J. Miles
PF: Derrick Favors, Jeremy Evans/AK (if we re-sign him)
C: Al Jefferson, Enes Kanter, Mehmet Okur (maybe)

Here's another thought. If Mehmet Okur can't play anymore, do you guys think that he could retire and become the Jazz's fourth coach and personal mentor for Kanter?

He would have been a legitimate 3, puts out an incredible effort, and would be a great addition on the wing with Hayward. It seems to me like the Jazz are incapable of making adjustments on the fly. With Leonard dropping so far, it seems ludicrous to me that we took a smaller, less defensive minded guard, who is also incapable of making 3's. Especially with AK being an unrestricted FA, we need some depth at the 3. I believe this will eventually be known as a huge mistake.

1) There is nothing to adjust to. The order you rank them at is determined before you sit in the room. They have had players fall before and grabbed them ie KK and Ronnie B

2) Obviously, a number of teams were not that high on Leonard. He is a tweener.
 
The Spurs have superior drafting ability and at this point you have to assume they know what they're doing. They traded George Hill for Leonard. If the Spurs had offered Hill for the 12, the Jazz would've probably considered it. As Leonard was available, will it end up being another Lopez over Parker scenario?
 
The Spurs also drafted Cory Joseph. Corey effing Joseph. Yes, the Spurs do draft pretty well for the most part, but they are massively over-rated by the media/public, much like Bill Belicheck is.

This.

People need to take a step back and think about how great their front office will look once the Artist formerly known as Tim Duncan and Co. deteriorate even more than they already have. Say three years from now.
 
We have Hayward and Millsap who can play the 3.

Burks can help man the 2 and the 1.
 
His name as well as Singleton's crossed my mind @ 12... I expect to see several players at the 3-spot; CJ, Evans, Millsap, and Hayward. Unless Okur retires, I don't see us re-signing AK; no roster space... Now that we're hearing Burks talked about as a PG too, the pick makes good sense to me. He CAN'T have worse PG skills than Ronie Price, can he??
 
what the hell were the Knicks thinking?

And the Heat and Mavs just got better...
