You might get your wish. Especially if the Wolves keep the pick.

The Jazz are going to take a long, hard look at Kanter, but it wouldn't entirely surprise me if they took Knight at #3, then went with a wing or Montiejunas at #12. Knight could well have a bigger impact than Irving given his size and versatility, and Montiejunas could end up being a better player than Kanter given his length and skills.
You look at how quick, talented scoring guards are having an impact in these playoffs, and it's not a bad idea to grab a talent like Knight, who can also play some SG.

I don't disagree with you on them taking Knight. I just hope that if they go that route, then they trade down in order to pick Knight. Knight at 3 makes no sense when you probably can get him at 5 or maybe even 6.
True, but what are the Cavs or the Raptors going to give us for flipping picks with them? Plus, I'm not sure the Raptors would pass on Knight at 5 unless they like Walker or Biyombo.

Agreed, at 5 the Raptors are probably taking a long hard look at Knight. I am not sure what they would offer along with the 5th pick for the 3rd. I guess the overall goal would be to offer the 3 and a solid piece for their 2012 1st round draft pick and this years 5. Would that solid piece be someone like Harris? I guess now the speculation can run wild with the draft spots finally determined.

In some years the top prospects would reject workouts for teams down the list. This year the Jazz will be able to look at all the available picks.
Take a look at Brooks, Selby or Singleton before drafting Jimmer at 12...
I think Knight at 3 is a small reach. Kinda like Deron Williams at 3.
Jimmer > Brooks and Selby. Brooks is a small school scorer who didn't win. Selby is an underachieving 2 guard in a PG body.
I would probably agree with Singleton though.

Kanter is going 1, no doubt in my mind. We NEED to draft Kemba at the 3. I like him better than Kyrie. I wouldn't be spitting mad if we took Kyrie, but I think Kemba is a flat out stud.
Re Brooks: that's what people were saying about Paul George last year.

I hope you are joking. Kemba at 3.... Yuck. We don't want a 5'10 PG whose main asset is speed. We already have a PG whose game is all about speed.
Knight>Walker

Wasn't being negative, just pointing out how crazy jazzfanz can be.

Walker's main asset is that he gets buckets from anywhere on the court AND he's quick/fast. We definitely need a point guard. Let Harris start if he's healthy but in a couple years Kemba can take over. I won't even address your assertion Knight is better.
Not even comparable. George is a 6'8 athletic freak who plays defense (also was a sophmore). Brooks is a 6'5 senior who just scores.

You won't because you know I am right. You must be joking if you think Kemba should be our PG. I don't even like the idea of Knight at 3 right now. If we are in love with Knight(which every mock site seems to think we are) then we should trade down to get him. But Kemba is the last guy I want.
