Ok Ill bite. I sited the article because it offered an opinion on the top point guards this year. It also gave you their season stats and a quick synopsis of their personality and scout opinions. It also showed how despite equal numbers Jimmer was not in the Top 5 of this years pg crop (In the NBA scout view).

The article was written then because that's when they were more focused on personal players. They are now writing about the teams in the final four. That is why the article is from December.

I posted it because I think Jimmer is a great fit for the SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Jazz. He's Mormon, he wants to come to Salt Lake. Who wants to come to salt lake? If we can get him from anywhere at 8-15 I would be happy.

This is one of the stupidest posts I have seen.

Currently the Jazz have Hayward and Evans, plus 2 lottery picks this year and 2 first round picks next year. KOC has to pull the trigger on a deal or the Jazz roster will have 6 players very young. Does anyone know if the expiring CBA will prevent deals happening on draft day for current NBA players?

I question your knowledge of Jazz Basketball. Re-read your post and tell me what the hell is missing?
 
1st time seeing knight or walker play. Unimpressed so far, hoping to see something other than bricks and to's
 
Man, these camera angles at the Final Four are Salt Palace-esque. Wouldn't you want your center court camera to, you know, be at center court?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really not a big Walker fan. Knight has played terrible and yet I like him a lot more.

Walker comes across as more of a scoring guard, an Iverson type of player. Knight seems much more of a game manager and facilitator, and given the offensive capability of the Jazz' roster, Knight fits more than Walker. I think Knight also has a higher ceiling and is bigger. Knight is ahead of Walker in my book right now.
 
Yeah, I'm for Knight over Walker. Which is why I'm thrilled Walker is playing for a championship. I hope he is a stud in the championship against Butler and that UCONN wins it all -- making GMs fall in love and select him with the a top 3 pick.

Completely agree. To me, Walker is a lower ceiling point who won't ever excel in the passing game. What I like about Knight is he's cat quick with the ball. He also has a passing mentality but is so inexperienced that he gets a little lost on the dribble and makes the outlet pass rather than than the tight pass inside. I think the dream with Knight is Westbrook. Can't say I see that in him, but he's real young. I can very definitely imagine that KOC likes him a lot.
 
Terrence Jones had some great plays tonight, in addition to going 0 for 5 at the line. After being teased by AK all these years I don't think I can take another player who will inspire cheers followed by forehead slapping. He's young so maybe he'll figure it out. But I'd rather not take the chance.

Some people compare Walker to a young Damon Stoudamire, which is a fair comparison.
 
Yeah Ive been rootin for Butler, but I REALLLY want kemba being selected at the highest pick possible. Knight > Walker for our team imo. Kemba would fit in a Golden State/Phoenix Suns run/gun team.

Now that I think of it, toronto might select Kemba....

Huge fly in the ointment. Stoudamire was a shooter. Massive 3pt percentages. Walker is a poor shooter. I think he's a better player than his numbers, but my opinion of him is changing to rotation player. He's officially off my draft board.

Are you saying you wouldn't even take him if he dropped to #12? Just curious.

No. I meant I wouldn't take him at 6 under any circumstances. On talent, he's probably a 10 - 20 guy in any draft. He does a lot of things well. I don't dislike him. But I see him as a backup point in the league. At 12 I'd probably take him, but I'd look hard for anybody I thought had real upside first.

Ok, when you said "off your draft board", it threw me a little. :)

the thing about terrence jones is he is kinda stuck on half court, and its obvious he cant post up against nba power forwards with his current body, and he cant dribble or create his own shot. I see him as a next Brandon Wright, if he doesnt fall down to 12, no need to pick him
 
I have not been a big fan of Terrence Jones simply because I think his true position in the NBA game is SF, yet his game is more suited for PF. He is years away from being a SF and I have my doubts he has the skills to ever become one. His dribble skills are average at best, his shooting mechanics are horrible and he doesn't seem to play hard all the time.

I guess if he is the BPA at 12 then you consider taking him as a project. However, I would actually try to trade the pick for a lower pick + another pick. I think there is some better value in the lower half of the draft and top of the second round. What I am saying is there isn't much of a difference between the 12th pick and the 20 something pick.

The one of the most impressive players in the tournament for me has been S. Mack out of Butler. I don't know if the kid is an NBA player but he seems to know how to play the game, can shoot and even runs the team well. The kid from VCU, Skeen seems like a better player than Terrence Jones does now. I guess the "potential" factor is used when evaluating Jones but right now both Mack and Skeen seem like better players. I guess I am just not that impressed with T. Jones. He could prove me wrong but I think the kid is 3 or 4 years away from being any good and he has the potential to be a bust if he doesn't improve his overall skills.
