Would Memphis give us Mayo for the 12th pick so we don't have to be forced to pick the Jimmer
2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date
Good players for the #12 pick (if available): Vesely, Montiejunas (sp?), Leonard, Mirotic, Biyombo, Jimmer
If Terrence Jones were there that would be a coup, but I'm sure he'll be gone. I'd take T. Jones at 6 if Williams, Irving, Barnes, Kanter and Knight are gone.

Highlights of him below.
What position is he? He appears to be a PF to me, and about 6'8". But damn, he plays big. He looks like he has great hands and can palm the ball easily and thus go up, his arm extended very high, sort of like Duncan or Gasol, as he dunks.

There is no reason to be worried about that Bismarck kid's height. He's not just an elite athlete, he's rare. Just looking at the video, he would have wrecked college basketball. I'd be happy to teach him basketball for two years and draft him 6.
I guess the thing is that really, height hardly matters. It's the wingspan that creates the plays, except for vision. He definitely looks like a defensive contributor immediately and I think Ibaka is probably a decent comparison. Not a guy you'd mind having, especially at 12.

Looks like he'd play a Ben Wallace role. Yeah, a couple inches short, but makes up for it with timing, long arms, and being just plain fierce.

Perry Jones for 6 and this dude at 12. Jazz need to go for potential. If those 2 are available you have to take them, maybe trade down at 12 if they think he will go later on and get an extra first rounder and get a PG/SG or a shooter like Honeycutt

Going for potential never seems to work. Better to go with players that you know can just play.
Perry Jones can play

You mean like CJ Miles?

-Went for potential in D-Will and that paid off. He wasn't the best guard for Illinois during that whole season
-Went for potential in Almond and Koufus but failed
-Went for potential in Maynor, would have been amazing if he wasnt traded
-Went for potential in Hayward and have had mixed results but most likely a good potential pick
-Tried to get favors/Cousins in draft and would have been potential picks
They have gone for potential more recently but Perry Jones has potential to be an all star with all the tools he has. Same with Kanter.

I dont see how Almond and Maynor where "potential" picks. One was a proven shooter, its obvious he wasnt going to be great, Utah just wanted him as a player who could hit outside shots. Maynor definitely has ZERO potential in terms of being anything better than a backup and we knew that when we took him.
i know his tears have not even dried. May need another week. Can you believe that some dude twittering on the internets was not accurate?
