This one is closer than the other ones, for me it's between either
Luke Babbit - the picks before for him it was too high, too high, mainly because of his limited potential. but now i think it could be ok to take him, it's not a big stretch to think Babbit is the 10th best player in this draft. At nevada he was a very efficient player. Looks like a better athlete than people give him credit for and appears ready for the NBA.
or
Ed Davis - kind of been under the radar on this site, but what i like about him is that he plays big around the basket, particularly on the defensive end. But the big knock on him is his offensive polish. However I think he will still be a solid pro. If he has a great work ethic he will have realistic all star potential.
So in this case a SF or a PF i'm going to go with Babbit

An Ed Davis, Xavier Henry hybrid? I'm down with that.
I'm not sure who to vote for. I've been voting Paul George the last couple rounds but Babbit and Davis are growing on me.

I had the X man on my mind. I like Henry in some areas but a SG that has been described as bit too one dimensional(can't create his own shot) makes me want to pass on him.

Babbitt and Henry are neck and neck for me right now, but since I've voted Babbitt the last three times, I'll stick with him.

Whiteside.
A SF who can actually shoot would be a nice change over what we've had. But Jazz need size if they're ever going to contend. I don't care if the Jazz win 55 games or 45 games, if all it amounts to is getting our a$$es kicked by LA, SA, etc. in the 1st or 2nd round.
Even if Whiteside plays the entire season in the D-League and doesn't help until 2011, that's ok with me.

Now that Udoh is off the board, I'm free to select Henry.
Honest question: Do you prefer Gordon Hayward or John Wall?
Neither. If I had the #1 pick I would select Derrick Favors. John Wall over Hayward though...I may be delusional, but I'm not stupid.
That is quite the large bulls-eye you are putting on your back there dude. Unless you are really into self-deprecating humor, that might not be a wise move.
I'm not really sure what you are talking about. I'm well aware that my love for Gordon Hayward is a little overboard, but if you don't stick to your guns you'll be the guy stuck with a pocket knife in a gun fight...or something like that. I honestly believe Hayward will be one of the 5-8 best players to come out of this draft.
Because his team had one good run?????
He would not have been drafted even in his SENIOR season if his team got knocked out in the 3rd round.

False.
To answer your question, no. And you are clueless.
This was written in November of 2009:
Nov 27 Update: Some NBA scouts and executives claim Hayward is the most underrated player in college basketball. Hayward is a do-it-all forward playing for the best mid-major school in the country (and was a staple for Team USA's under-19 team this summer), but he still doesn't get a lot of love. That's because Hayward lacks the elite athleticism and NBA body that NBA scouts fall in love with.
But there's little else to quibble with in Hayward's game. He has a very high basketball IQ, shoots the lights out, rebounds at a high clip and can play both the 2 and the 3 in the NBA.
"He's not going to wow you physically," one GM argued. "But you can't find me 10 better basketball players in America. I think at the end of the day, talent will win the day for him. He's not a terrible athlete and uses everything else in his arsenal to make up for his lack of explosiveness. He's just the type of kid every coach wants on their team."
