Utah loves Dante Exum at 5

This having Exam fall after being the 4th guy in a four player draft up until now is concerning. Which in most cases you just right it off as good luck, but you don't have the film against a high level for an entire season like you do with all the college guys.

I think a good majority of gms have Exum in the 2nd tier with Gordon, Randle, Saric, Smart, and Vonleh. So I wouldn't say a four player draft.

I'll give you Deron, but i'd be interested in seeing the links where they liked Kanter and G-time. Also, what about Burks, Gobert, Maynor, Koufous, Brewer, etc.

- The Jazz and Kentucky point guard Brandon Knight are a sensible match with the third pick, as Utah looks to replace the gaping hole left by the trade of Deron Williams to the Nets. Some execs have gotten indications that Utah also is considering Enes Kanter.

You lose credibility when you make stuff up so I have to ask for links. Burks was at 19 on DX, 13 on .net. But your thin skin adds entertainment value, so there's that.

I am actually not super high on Exum to be honest. I thought schrooder (sp?) looked fantastic in the film I saw of him, never to be heard from again.

So, I have to keep some healthy skepticism when it comes to Exum and his resume. Probably be happy if we drafted him at 5 though. Fit and upside seem nice.

Did you not watch any Hawks games last year?
 
Lol, I didn't watch much NBA last year to be honest. Kids get in the way. Hard to watch NBA when Clifford the big red dog is on tv 24/7.

Did Schroder look good? (if so it would restore some of my faith in my eyeballs to judge talent)

Again once Jimmer was gone we knew it was probably going to be either Burks or Leonard. Those were the two players left on the board that we knew that Jazz liked.

See beantown, that's how you do it. Although every team in that range was "considering" Kanter, so pretty vanilla inside scoop.

If anyone is willing to go down 4 years on Jonathan Givony's tweet timeline, you will find that a couple of days before the draft he said the Jazz will draft Hayward at 9, I remember that .

IOW, Burks in fact didn't slip as you mentioned earlier. At least you backtracked rather than doubling down. Way to go. Now are you doing to call me another name? Please do. Thin skinned dudes are funny.

Later tonight i'll see what I can find. I'd like to be wrong on this. It would be nice to be able to rely on some of these pre draft rumors.

I will give you the Burks slipping part, I must have been thinking Kawhi Leonard. But we knew the Jazz liked Jimmer, Burks and Leonard in that draft.

Point being....if you have have been shocked by who the Jazz pick then you are not paying attention.

Dang Brandon Knight was in that discussion for #3???

Anybody else remember that Leonard was scheduled to workout with the Jazz on June 19th, but then never showed up?

We all know the Jazz will draft Aaron Gordon unless Exum falls to us.

deron and cp3 were close to 50/50. (sloan wanted dwill, koc wanted paul)

during the kanter draft ALOT of people thought we would pick brandon knight at 3. (also alot of people thought we would take chris singleton at 12 over burks)

hayward was a HUGE surprise.... i remember being at the delta center for that draft and everyone was shocked we took hayward.... we needed big guys at the time (didnt have big al yet) and alot of people thought we would take ed davis or cole aldrich.
