2011 draft.....

I don't buy it, but I thought it was relevant enough to post, but Feldman was tweeting last night and said:

the Jazz are definitely targeting a PG

I'm hearing the Jazz could go either way w/ Kemba or Knight, but sounds like they prefer Kemba at this point

He even goes so far as to say that if DWill falls to the Jazz that they might look to trade down. Like I said, I don't buy it, but having said that, I do think I'm starting to change my tune on Knight and if KOC is dead set on taking a PG first (please don't) I think I'd lean more towards Kemba at the moment.
 
I hope KOC does not take a PG at 3 either, but if he does, I hope (and feel certain it will be) it's Knight.

Is Feldman the Hoopsreport guy? because he was also claiming yesterday that his source from within the Jazz organization said the Jazz want Kemba over Knight and are looking at options to trade down from the 3 pick.

I wouldn't (just a different opinion).

Kanter >

#6 - Knight
and
#18 - whoever is left at that point

I feel with a #3 (THREE!) pick we have to swing for a big time player. I feel Irving, Williams, and Kanter are the ONLY three that fit that description at a high certainty.

I'd be ALL IN for selecting Kanter if that guaranteed we would trade Jefferson.

KOC is served best by waiting out any possible trade for #3. In the meantime I'm sure he is exploring offers for Al and Paul (sigh). If they get the right one, then I'd bet we'll select Kanter. I agree that he is probably the 3rd best prospect in this draft... it's just that Knight, Walker, and Biyombo are not that far behind IMO
 
The only reason I can think that the HoopsReport guy was reporting that the Jazz are targeting a PG is that KOC is looking to trade either Paul/Al + #12, in knowing that he’s going to get either DWill or Kanter at #3, to land either Knight/Kemba, which is what I would do if I were the KOC.

That would be pretty awesome, but having depth will be an issue if we do that. We'll go from over-loaded in the front-court to slightly weak on depth IMO.

Not sure if I explained it right, but here's an example. Not sure if Toronto got a TPE for Bosh, but say they did. We trade #12 and Al to them for the #5. We get Kanter or DWill at #3 and at #5 we take Knight or Walker. Does anyone have KOC's digits? I think I'm on to something here.

I hear if you hang out at Best Buy long enough you're bound to run into a Jazz player/coach. I would suggest doing that.
 
I want no part of Walker to me he is Ben Gordon with better handles. Tell me if I'm wrong, but Walker is more of a sg in a pg's body and undersized for a pg..... If that's possible.

Just my opinion here, so don't kill me, but I think Kemba's more of a PG than Knight.
 
My opinion is that Kemba is a score-first guy and always will be. Knight is on the fast-track to true point and WILL get there quickly. Kemba is undersized, but can definitely score. I'd take Knight, easily.
 
Also, with all th concerns over Knight's assists numbers ... Kemba only averaged .3 more per game and is two years older. Also, Kemba lacks range on his shot (33% from college 3). I'm not crazy about a junior that is undersized and lacks shooting range. Problematic for the offense if the defender can play back off of him (both because of size and shooting). But that's just me.

This.
 
I haven't seen it mentioned here, but KOC could be influenced by the fact that Kemba played a lot more pick and roll than Knight did this season.
