Sometimes I do wonder if you'll end up naming your son 'Bongo' ....
When I lived in Salt Lake, I once thought it would be pretty cool to name a dog Bong. I never got a dog though.
True story.
True story.
That makes sense.
Please tell him I said a sincere hello.
No
That or trip-k.

i named my dog jimmer. When my dog is nailing the neighbors prize beagle i will tell them it is ok he is just doing the jimmer.
I would be scared to take Giannis with either Jazz first round pick.
He just so young and raw.
Greece has had some players drafted last few years.
Seems like all of them have been duds.
And African players have not done well either last few years.
Unless they are a top five type player I would stay away from international players in the mid first round.
Stick with American college players.
But I could be entirely wrong.
Xenophobe. Are you the Denver beat writer?
The best part is all of those unnamed greek players that have been drafted in the last few years. Or that most American college players fail and nobody is quick to point out the flaws of the American collegiate talent pool.

With all the Kobe injury drama I'm thinking the Lakers come together and win out.
+ corrupt NBA, via Stern's appendages (refs) will serve to augment the talent on Minnesota and Memphis' respective squads.
= Jazz will miss the playoffs and cement themselves the 14th pick.
Hooray for fool's gold. Jazz get McCollum but NBA is still corrupt. I love basketball. I hate the NBA.

I've always hated this argument. Just because some players from a certain area haven't turned out, does not mean that you stop taking players from there.
If a guy shows talent, and you think that you can develop that talent, then you draft him. I don't care where he's from. I
It's not that difficult.
Giannis just seems very risky even at the Jazz #21 pick.
He looks like he knows zero English.
That will take time for him to learn.
I don't like taking an international player and then having to wait years for him to get over here.
Anything can happen. Example Raul Lopez.
If Jazz take international players they need to come over right away.
Giannis looks like he's no where ready for the NBA.
If Jazz did take him they must think he will be terrific.

Giannis would be a risky pick. But in a draft like this where there are hardly any sure-fire stars, it's okay to take a risk like that. Giannas has the potential to be very, very good, and in a draft like this, I take that risk every single time. Risks like that are why the Spurs are continually good.
Raul Lopez failed because he tore his knee up...while he was playing in the NBA. It had nothing to do with where he came from.
Anything can happen is a true statement though, as long as you realize that involves all prospects, not just the foreign ones. I've seen plenty of superb college athletes not make it in the NBA, doesn't mean that we shouldn't draft from college though.
And no, the Jazz do not need international players to come over right away. I'm not sure why you think that, but it's false.

it looks like GStankers are going to end up with the 19th pick in the draft. I see them losing their last 2 and Houston and Atlanta will pass them. We could get 17 and 19

Maybe if this happens Stern feels bad about jobbing us like this and rewards us with the first pick, which then causes us to get a top ten pick in next years loaded draft since Noel won't play most of the season.
