I agree. I think Jan Vesely and Perry Jones will probably generate offense better than Terrence Jones.
2011 draft.....

What's the deal with this Vesely kid, if we draft him would he come over right away or is he under contract for his team over sea?

Yeah it was a long shot to get Barnes this year anyway. Especially if you believe in the frozen envelope - which means Jazz would pick 7th and 14th.
Barnes next year just pushes someone else down to the Jazz or he, like most guys who return to school, sees his stock drop.

I hate to say this and hope it isn't true, but as bad as we've played the second half of the season we could be picking top three next year
i have not seen anything saying he is still under contract and looks to want to come over next year. Plays for a "low budget" team in Serbia. Jonas Valuciunias is the one with the buyout apparently.
Gotta hope GS is not to bad which they shouldnt be. Gotta get Austin Rivers. Maybe Doc will take it easy on us. One thing about Austin is that he does not need the money and could play more than one year.
I guess when your career record against Jimmer is 1-4 and you look like a Juggalo, I guess you act like a Juggalo.
I say we draft him on short memory alone, he obvioulsy forgot about getting stomped on his home floor in the biggest game in Viejas Arena history.

Portsmouth Invitational Players announced. Matt Howard, Brad Wannamaker, Jamie Skeen, Justin Holiday & others.
check out the full list here: https://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/players.php
Not that it matters much, I think only 3 players from Portsmouth were invited to the NBA Pre-Draft Workouts last year.

Dont we want GS to be terrible so our pick is really high? Or is it a top 3 protected or something?

Top 7 protected. So we want them to be bad, just not too bad.
This is definitely the year for the int'l players to declare for the draft. Could have a lot of American kids stay in school and the intl players could simply play in Europe for one more year if there is a lockout. Think there might be at least 7-8 taken in the first round.
Nice, I think they will probably finish somewhere between 7 and 14

Though I do have hope, the realist in me says that it looks like the Nets are locked into the 6th worst record. In the last 22 years, the team with the 6th worst record has won the lottery three times. The fifth worst team has won it five times. The seventh worst once. I like those chances actually.

The more I see these kids play in the tourney, and the more I read about Alec Burks, the more I think he is who the Jazz should take at 6. Six-six SG, plays hard defense, has the fundamentals to become a very good outside shooter, needs a coach who can teach the catch-and-shoot, attacks the rim. What is not to like? Why isn't anybody looking at Burks?

I said way back when I like Burks a lot and for the reasons you mentioned. He seemed to me to have one of the best NBA profiles. Pick #6 is too high for him but if we have trouble trading up to get one of the top guys, then I would strongly consider trading down (or swapping picks after the fact) and acquiring an additional pick or two out of it in getting him.
The 29% 3pt figure does not help. If he declares and can shoot well from the outside during his workouts he could definitely move up.
hmmmm, ESPN is still reporting that he has not made a decision according to their rumors page. Very conflicted with this. On one token obviously staying at NC will help the Heels, but declaring should help the Jazz one way of the other.
