What I got out of those highlights was drew Gordon looks good.

One play...that didn't impress me...over New Mexico players, not an NBA frontcourt...nothing remotely as furious as Marion or Wallace throwing stuff down with their head at the rim. Also, dude does not look long to me as stated.

He doesn't remind me of Artest or Rodman either. Especially the latter. That's an awful comparison imo.
A week or so back, I said that Blake Griffin had bad knees coming out of Oklahoma and I got dinged for it, nobody believed me at all. I said that because I was comparing Enes Kanter saying if Blake Griffin had bad knees coming out of college, then it is no worry for Kanter because look how great Griffin is doing. Kanter has definitely got me thinking, if the Jazz move into the top three I would take him at #3 and maybe #2 over Derrick Williams, but not #1 Kyrie Irving is the definite best player in this draft right now. Back to my point here is my proof that Blake Griffin had knee problems at Oklahoma:
Dude, Griffin missed a whole year because of his knee. I would say it's still a potential concern for him.

I would agree with this early rodman ( Detroit) and artest with out a jump shot. More comparing game styles not attitudes.
As a Ute fan, I'm pulling for Jimmer. I honestly think he could become a slightly slower version of Mark Price if he tunes in and works hard. I just don't know how big an impact that kind of player would have in today's league. Most successful PGs today can score in the lane, beat guys off the dribble and break down defenses. This is what I worry about with Jimmer.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Jazz were looking at a player like Reggie Jackson or Josh Selby as darkhorse picks at 12.
I put Al Jefferson on the same level as Zach Randolph. I think Jefferson would be able to rev it up for the playoffs like Zach Randolph has.
Kanter is the Demarcus Cousins of this draft without the immaturity. That makes him a high lottery pick. The only question I have is about his ability to score against NBA bigs, something Randolph has proven he can do.
He looks like a Stacey Augman-type to me, although people are saying he can shoot.
The Euro players like Vesely, Biyombo and Montiejunas haven't been getting looks in workouts and so they're slipping in mocks. It wouldn't surprise me if they rise again once they start working out for teams in the U.S. I'd love to see Biyombo in a workout with Leonard, Marcus Morris and Vesely. I could even picture Montiejunas having a few good workouts and being called the most talented 7-footer since Sabonis or Nowitzki. It's just that the Americans are getting all the attention in their summer workouts at the moment.

Who will represent the Jazz at the lottery...?

Augmon's a very comparison imo and he too, I think, was not the greatest of shooters.

I know he's older (25) and was dismissed from Oklahoma State but Gary Flowers from So. Miss in the mid or late 2nd is intriguing. Hell, if he's not drafted, he's someone I'd definitely love to bring in. 18.8 points on 47.6% shooting including 40.7% from three. He has a lightning quick stroke apparently. 7.7 rebounds. 1.4 blocks. 1.1 steals. 1.1 assists.
Had great measurements: 6'6.5" without shoes, 7'4.5" wingspan, 8'11.5" standing reach, 35.5" no step vert, 39.5" max vert, 4.6% body fat, 9.31 lane agility, 4.14 3/4 sprint.
He's older and flawed and there's not a ton of upside but again, if he's not drafted...

And yes, I know we don't have a 2nd rounder...I was speaking in generalities.
