Oh, I was sure Perry could play multiple positions.
2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date
Irving.
In my admittedly naive assessment, Derrick Williams is Michael Beasley with a little less athleticism and none of the idiocy (which is pretty good). If the Jazz are planning on rolling with Favors, Millsap, and Jefferson, he might not be the best fit here if the Jazz wanted to see what would happen with him at the 4.
Perry Jones isn't a 3. He might be a perimeter-oriented 4 in the vein of what Lamar Odom has become and that's awesome, but he's also soft and doesn't rebound. Having what appears to be three PFs already making up the big rotation, it doesn't make a ton of sense to me. If Jones was a homerun, then you have to go BPA.
I like Harris, but Irving looks like a perfect PG. Not only jet-quick player (like so many of the PGs that have been taking over of late), but has a very well-rounded game, a jumpshot, and has good size for the NBA which never happens. Use Harris to try to get that mystery wing or something. But Irving looks transcendent and pairing him with Favors (and even Hayward?) is one hell of a young core moving forward.

Mods please merge with the draft thread, or the other draft thread, or a draft thread that went unnoticed because there are already numerous draft threads. In fact, I believe one is right at the top as a sticky titled "2011 draft".
Is it too much to ask that board members read through threads and post this stuff in an existing thread if possible? There are way too many threads that repeat something that has been said 10x already.
From here on out I'm neg. repping anyone who starts a duplicate thread absent an obvious mistake. Laziness and thinking you're more important than the last guy do not count.

I thought Derrick Williams was projecting more of a three? I would love to see a starting front line of Al, Favors and Williams next year. Though Kyrie looked amazing before the injury.
Justin Holiday intrigues me greatly. I think I like him more than Jordan Hamilton, especially since he's a senior (so he WILL be in the draft and is more developed/mature), is athletic, plays good defense, and is a bit of a sleeper so he should be easier to acquire. I would bet he's firmly on the Spurs radar.

nbadraft.net list PERRY Jones as a SF and compares him to Tracy McGrady. Not a PF.
Then Nbadraft.net is just really, really wrong and haven't seen him play.
Check out his 3pt shooting. ESPN has him as a PF,C.
nbadraft.net also listed Favors as a SF. That site sucks.

Numberica, I agree with everything you've said. Have you any thoughts on Chris Singleton?
My own two cents being a FSU alumnus. Known as a great defender, not sure he is good enough offensively to take with either lottery pick (if we dont make playoffs). 3pt shooting so-so.

They listed him as a PF.
They changed it after they probably saw how stupid it was. I promise you they projected him as a hybrid forward.

No, I think you were confusing what I meant. I did not mean Honeycutt has elite athleticism. I meant that in general, we should target someone with elite athleticism and some skills. For the most part, with good coaching (and work ethic), one's skills can improve. Athleticism, not as much. Those raw fast twitch fibers are either there or they're not.
