two players that both potentially could have been the #1 picks in Kanter and Favors? I say yes. Had Kanter been eligible to play this season, I really think that he would have been the #1 pick in this year's draft. Also, had Favors stayed one more season at Georgia Tech, he would have been the #1 pick in this year's draft without question. Derrick Favors was the #1 recruit IN THE COUNTRY coming out of high school (per scout.com https://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=9&c=4&cfg=bb&pid=88&yr=2009). Enes Kanter was the #3 overall recruit coming out of high school (also per scout.com https://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=9&c=4&cfg=bb&pid=88&yr=2010). The Jazz basically now have the two most talented young PF/C's in the NBA.
Do the Jazz now have...

Yep; if Favors had stayed in school and Kanter played this year, we wouldn't have gotten either one. And we would've lost Deron Williams after his contract expired, and gotten NOTHING in return. So KoC done good!!!

I'm curious as to how, if Favors had stayed another year at GT, they'd both be the number one pick this year.
