Zach Lowe Haad Some Nice Things to Say About...

That reminds me of the time KOC was reportedly offered a deal to trade up for Klay Thompson, but he wanted to stay pat and take Kawhi at 12 except Corbin was in love with Alec so we passed on the reigning NBA Finals MVP and one of the league's premier 3 point shooters/defenders for him.

I wasn't aware of this and maybe you were being sarcastic, but either way I'm sure if the Jazz took Kawhi he wouldn't be the player he is today under the tutelage of Pop, Duncan, and crew. He was also a poor shooter before the draft and improved drastically working with Chip Engelland. If the Jazz took Kawhi we'd probably be wondering why we picked a potentially good defensive player who can't shoot, over San Antonio stud Alec Burks or Iman Shumpert or whoever they would have picked instead.
