Hoopsworld Rumor: Brandon Knight at #3?

[NUMBERICA]

Biyombo leadership? Where did you pull that from?

His scouting report?

Hayward, Knight, CJ Miles and Okur are all great shooters.

AK, Harris, Burks and even Millsap are all decent shooters.

I think we have a good amount of shooters of the floor.

Millsap is a much better shooter than Miles. Do you believe in facts?

hey utahjazz107, this is where you say you never said Miles was better at making 3's you only said shooting 3's.


In all seriousness though, sappy only shot 23 all season. Not a lot to go off of. But then again, that miami game should be evidence enough.

Shot-selection is as much a part of a shooter's acumen as anything is, and Millsap has been nailing that 15-20 footer for a couple of years now with consistency. Miles hasn't done ANYTHING consistently (well) in 6 years.

If we do get Knight, I would love to try to move up from 12 to 8 or 9 to get Biyombo. Don't get me wrong. I'd be content with Burks or Singleton at 12. But Biyombo seems to possess the length, athleticism and most of all leadership and mindset we sorely need. I'd love to see that rub off on Favors and have a Garnett/Perkins-like frontcourt in the two young men with Knight and Hayward starting on the wings for the next 10 years.

music to my ears

then, trade Harris + (x) to POR for Miller + Matthews

No way in hell the Jazz draft 2 guards.

Why not?

This has already been used for a former Jazzman. We can't have two Whoppers.

+1 for remembering Billy Paultz.

I don't even know what is real anymore

That's just the way KOC likes it.

What was Mel Turpin's nickname?

What games have you been watching? CJ has a terrible shooting percentage and has gotten worse. He shot 41%/32% last year, the third straight season his averages have declined. Harris wasn't muich better at 42/32.

Why do some believe volume = excellence?

And are you kidding me saying AK is a 'decent' shooter? Maybe from 10ft in or doing his octopus on speed impersonation when he drives the lane. That's it. His wild threes don't help the team.

Millsap has a solid midrange game. He even has range out to the 3 as we saw multiple times. And you can't complain about a rooke who shot 49/47. Hayward needs to be a primary option next season when he's on the floor.

 

[BENTLEY]

Nevermind, I googled it.

Mel Turpin: "the Mealman" and "Dinner bell Mel"

 

[Stifle Tower]

What was Mel Turpin's nickname?

"Dinner Bell" if I recall correctly. And I did that without googling!!!


Edit: I didn't know (or had forgotten) about his suicide. Very sad.
