For me though, Jones is more well-rounded because of his outside shooting (Leonard came in at an abysmal 29.1%) and ability to block shots (1.9 per game).
2011 draft.....
- Thread starter Duck Rodgers
- Start date

Except Jones is not nearly as tall and long as Odom in my estimation. I'd go far as saying Odom as 3-4 inches on him in standing reach.

If I remember correctly, I heard about this guy nearly a month ago and supposedly, already, despite playing in a crappy league and putting up just average stats, the guy has a major ego and attitude problem. I'll pass. I'd pass in the entire first round in fact.

I'd be very happy with Bimbo at #6. I hate to say this but it's also probably a positive that he's from Africa. SLC won't necessarily feel like a boring hell to him like perhaps much of the league's players feel it is. In other words, our ability to re-sign him may be greater than our ability to re-sign someone else who's Deron-like.

It's difficult because Gasol's the Grizzlies center and they already have Zach at the 4. Thus, the need for Millsap is zero, especially with an improved Darrell Arthur backing Zach up.
PGs can win championships
Your comment is perhaps biased from recent history, thinking of the Lakers and Bulls "dynasties", however, the rest of NBA history would prove otherwise.
Other recent champions had all-star level PGs, for example:
Tony Parker, MVP of 2006/2007 championship and instrumental in others
Chauncy, MVP of 2003/2004 championship MVP
(I'll exclude DWade since I consider him more of a SG and also Rondo because when they won the championship he was not the allstar he is today.)
Looking deeper into NBA history, the landscape is littered with dominant PG champions, for example, the first 3 Hall of Famers and the next 3 "borderline" HOF:
Magic Johnson
Oscar Robertsons
Isiah Thomas
Dennis Johnson, 3 championships w/3 teams, one championship MVP with Seattle
Mo Cheeks
Jo Jo White (MVP in 1975/76 championship)

Why? Because Africa is a great heart of darkness without a single lively metropolis? Get a ****ing clue guy, and please stop teaching children.

Wow such hate. Take a Prozac and step away from the edge NAOS. I think he has a valid point.

pro'lly not. But i do have a problem with many things you say. There is an important difference. This particular point you've made is bloody retarded.

post count: 193. They might all be excellent posts, but you haven't been around very long. This guy has been uncorking beauties since the days of Serpico.
****ing THANK YOU.
And to repeat - because it cannot be said enough times or emphatically enough - WHEN WE HAVE MICHAEL JORDAN OR KOBE BRYANT WE CAN AFFORD DEREK FISHER OR STEVE KERR TO BE PGS. Since those players never get traded and Utah would never hope to get one in free agency, it comes down to the draft. So who the **** is the next greatest player of all time at the wing or at C in this draft? Come back to reality, some of you.
Irving is the best prospect in this draft and it isn't even close.
Donatas Motiejunas has declared for the NBA Draft, that makes the draft a little bit stronger, my question to all of you is if we are considering Biyombo at #6 to be a power forward why aren't we considering Motiejunas at #6 or even at #12? Motiejunas is 7'0, needs to gain some weight being on 224 lbs, but he has huge potential being an offensive player. Runs the floor great, needs to get better defensively not much though, and people are comparing him to Dirk Nowitzki.
Probably because Biyombo seems like a sure thing to be at least a defensive/rebounding presence. Motiejunas seems to have a high bust potential.

Donatas looks really great offensively. And I read he's really cocky which is good too. But it seems I read that he isn't very interested in defense.
I was really excited about him in last year's draft before he pulled out. Someone wanna refute the knock on his defense? Does his offensive talent translate to wins?

Jrue Holiday is another good PG found @ 17.
If we're picking @ #6 we better not take a PG.
Think size.
We can look @ points @ #12. Or we can just ride Harris and Earl and Hayward next year and think PG next year.
