PKM - are you hearing anything about the Jazz trying to move Devin Harris? What's the front office's view on him in general?
I haven't heard anything regarding DH. Also, remember that I have no direct ties to the Jazz, at all. As I've said, my info is peripheral and only every so often it involves something to do with the Jazz. I claim no insider info to the Jazz directly. In other words, I don't know, lol.

Wow a lot to reply to
First I dont want anything to with Royce white. He is not what we need to build on. As for white vs d miller it is a no brainer d miller > Royce white for the jazz.
I liked the video on lamb and I think he is a perfect fit for the jazz and he could play the point. With burks Hayward and lamb all can handle the ball and pass. Lambs 3 pt shooting would have to be respected opening up driving lanes for burks and Hayward. Add in d miller and the jazz would be set.
If the jazz targeted d lamb they wouldnt have to get rid of Harris but wouldn't hurt if the did.
You want a good Shane battier comparison go with Jeff Taylor. Not quite the winner battier is but defense and shooting are similar. Both hard workers.

Royce White intrigues me. Is he the right pick for this team? Probably not, but hell be a player Ill keep a close eye on for his first few years in the NBA. I'm always a fan of unique prospects(edit**) that go against the mould of traditional NBA players. I wouldn't be angry if the Jazz drafted him, despite the fact that he probably wouldn't excel in any sort of Jazz offensive system.
FWIW, Shane doesn't possess half of MKGs athleticism- think of a Battier mixed with the cutting-prowess of Ronnie Brewer, and (potentially) the fast-break finishing of a poor man's Scottie Pippen. He's a unique player, and would turn around a team like Cleveland. Hope he lands there.

Right, MKG will never approach 'half' of Shane's career high of 14.4 PPG (in his rookie season).
Your Duke homerism is amusing. Even Ronnie Brewer averaged ~14PPG.

MKG can't shoot. Hell, he can't even fix his shot. That's a major problem. In regards to Brewer, he hasn't touched double digits since he left Utah, and unless if MKG is playing in a system similar to Utah's with an elite PG like DWill (all of which are unlikely btw) then he's not going to touch 14 ppg either.
Here's why MKG not being able to shoot is a problem. There are other athletes in the NBA that can manage his athleticism, it's not like he's LeBron or anything. Therefore, they're going to be able to lay off of him and let me tell you something, it's not easy to drive on a guy when he's already 5 feet off of you. I'm not arguing MKG's intangibles or his defense, but his offense is a major, major problem and you're fooling yourself if you think it isn't. It would be one thing if I thought he could fix his shot, but he can't. It's one of the ugliest shots I've ever seen, and it hasn't improved since he was a nationally recognized prospect in his beginning stages of high school...it's not going to improve in the NBA either. Come at me bro.

Thanks for the info.
Sorry Orangelloi have to spread the rep around before I can rep ya again.
He's French?
The cutting prowess of Ronnie Brewer is useless without a top 5 passing PG though.
If MKG is going to be anything more than a lock-down defender, he will have to go to the right team. I see Cleveland as the best fit.

Same. Sometimes they completely suck, but other times they define their own style and are a lot of fun to watch, like Rondo.
IF MKG was in the 2011 draft class he would have been a perfect fit with Minnesota. Too bad he is probably going to get drafted by the Washington Wizards.

The only thing hantlers that you haven't mentioned is his work ethic. Almost anyone with his work ethic will improve. I see him getting the right teachers and reps to improve his shot. If barbosa and Marion can survive even flourish with their shots mkg will do just fine.
