I think Harrison Barnes will be the number #1 or #2 pick if he goes out. I liked him when he was playing ok but once he started hitting game winning shots then my love just elevated for his ability. After today I think he is perfect for the Jazz, but unless we get lucky there is no way he will be on the board at #6 or #7.
2011 draft.....

Would Millsap and the Warriors pick be enough to get us in the third pick range

So where are all the Barnes haters now? This kid is a freak. Plus he is only a freshman. Him and Hayward on the wing would be pretty solid IMO. 40 points 8 boards. I almost want him to struggle in the tourney so he can fall to the Jazz

Yeah, Barnes playing his way up the draft board.

The two guys I love in this draft probably won't even be available in D-Will 2 and Barnes. As of right now, I think the top 4 would consist of these guys: Sullinger, Barnes, Williams and Irving.
I still have hope the Nets start losing or we could get lucky with the lottery balls.

Question about the lottery, since the jazz have two picks in the lottery do their chance of getting the #1 pick increase, because of the extra ping pong balls? I'm guessing not but just hoping.

So the top three, at this point, seem pretty locked in, for the draft. I don't want to hear **** that we were unable to move up. With, likely, two lottery picks and some players with value, AND the GS pick next year, we need to do whatever we need to do to move up and go after one of these guys.

Though it's not going to matter. We're getting the #1 and #2 picks. Irving and Williams baby. Lock it up.

Yeah, we have to hope Sullinger has a strong post-season and maybe gets into a little bit better shape and squeezes into the top four somehow.

We need to be rooting for Houston, Golden State, the Clips and Indiana every freakin' night at this point.

Anyone watching Duke vs VT. My man Nolan is playing well. It would be a dream to get both Barns and Nolan Smith. He is the tipe of leader the Jazz are lacking. He's the vocal leader on this Duke team, and is very intense player really gets after it on the defensive end.

also you know Smith is a tough player he was considered questionable with a toe injury

That's the one big name I don't want - I doubt the guy is really 6'8" and I can't help but be a little wary of a 19 year old with weight issues.
I like Barnes as a player, but I still see him playing a designated shooter and supporting scorer role in the NBA, like an Allan Houston, Rashard Lewis or Steve Smith. I don't see him leading a team, but definitely he looks like a valuable player.

Terrence Jones is all over the boards. I've seen him second overall to 20th overall on mock drafts.
I know teams should draft BPA, but as a Jazz fan, I'd really like them to avoid bigs and project Europeans. That leaves Willams, Barnes, and Jones as the possibles for the Nets pick (if it stays 6-7), and they could be gone by then.
What do you do then?
