Judgment Day is here ladies and gentleman.
It's like Christmas. Either we get that sweet big wheel, or it's an "Education Christmas" this year.

What's going to happen to jazzfanz if we end up with picks #9 @ #12. I'm guessing end of days type stuff.
No, it would be a normal day for us jazz fans.

Hey!! Keep those negative vibes in your head, especially today.
Its gonna be #3 & #7 BELIEVE IT.
Maybe you should be even more positive and think #1 and #2.
I would expect a lot of vulgarities directed at one David Stern.
If he surprises at the combine will you change your prediction?

No matter how he does, I predict Jimmer will go 25th to Boston. I even think he'll win the backup 2 job and do well there.
Wow. If he does well at the combine i could definitely see us taking him (as long as first pick is not a PG) or certainly Phoenix. Wish Nash gone and Dragic traded they are definitely looking for their future PG.
Boston, the team that is suppose to be based on defense is going to draft Jimmer? Doubtful, doubtful he will even drop that far.

I could see somebody reaching for Jimmer. Perhaps Cleveland at 8 or Charlotte at 9. He'll go way ahead of where he should a la Tebow. Although, as long as we don't go small with our first pick I could probably talk myself into him at 12.

A team with a good defensive system, that has trouble scoring, needs a backup point to play minimal minutes, and has a GM that knows all about small white guys with limited athleticism but high intangibles would take him.
My general feeling is that PG's will slide in this draft. Too many good PG's in the league already.

As long as he doesn't bomb at the combine or during workouts, then I say no way he falls to 25. 20 maybe, but not 25. Heck, David Kahn has two picks on the top #20. That pretty much guarantees Jimmer will be gone by then.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these mocks get flipped on their head after the combine and individual workouts get going. Just seems like no one is really enthralled with the European players (with the exception of Kanter) this year so I'd be really surprised if they don't end up slipping. I also think there's a number of players that will start to rise once the workouts starts get going. We've already seen that starting a little with Singleton, Leonard, and even Marshon Brooks. Here a couple other guys that I could also see really improving there stock...
Norris Cole - PG - He's quick, physical, has good size, plays D, and is streaky from 3. He was very impressive against Butler last year.
Justin Harper - PF - 6'10 guy that's a good athlete and with good range. Reminds me a little of Channing Frye.

Actually if GMs think we will lose a good part of the season due to a lockout, it could very well help the intl guys. They will be able to get some info on them at Treviso and some still may come over to workout after their seasons are done.

Uhhh...
They loved Eddie House.
Got Shaq (possibly the worst defensive center in the NBA right now).
And traded away their defensive anchor, Perkins, for Jeff Green and Kristic (both aren't known for defense).
Boston may want shooters and take Jimmer. I could see them doing that. He'd basically take over the role Eddie House had during their championship run. Just because a team likes to play good defense doesn't necessarily mean that they'll neglect their other aspects (such as shooting).
I don't like Jimmer on most teams, but Jimmer on the Celtics is a great fit for them.
