Okay this deserves it's own thread. I noticed that a good amount of the Jazzfanz faithful are advocating Derrick Williams as the guy we should choose if we get the number 1 pick in the 2011 draft. But I see greater logic in choosing Irving. Kyrie Irving is the right pick. If Williams can't play the three or gaurd other SF's, than we will be stuck with 4 Power forwards, 2 of them undersized. sure jefferson and favors may be able to play the 5, but that is not their natural position. If we draft Irving we will have better trade assets if Irving translates to the NBA (Namely Devin Harris. Sure we could still trade Millsap if we drafted Williams, but i am thinking Harris may have more trade value becasue Millsap is an undersized big man). We have already learned how hard it is to win if you have an undersized big men. Drafting Williams will similar on the defensive end to having booz and millsap at the 4. and quite honestly, Irving has all the tools and ability to be a stud at the next level as long as he is not injury prone. Could you imagine if Irving, Hayward and Favors all developed and reached their full potential. holy Cow!!! The Jazz would be Really really Good!!!! Irving is the right fit for the Utah Jazz!

For the draft party, let's fill ESA with some smoke, give G-Money the microphone and ask him how many championships those three are going to win.

Holy ****, what? Besides UNC, what school has a better track record?

I should probably ask someone that actually knows something.

Name the last Duke player who was a bonafide superstar in the league. Had Kobe gone there, as he said he would have, then you might have an argument, but while Duke teams do great in the tourney, and they do get players drafted, they (former Duke players) are known to be lukewarm in the league. I don't think this is a knock on Duke at all, I think it's just the players they recruit. They try and recruit more team-oriented players that aren't the super athletic kids with huge egos that want to start right away and will leave after one year.

Having said all that, I would still give one of my reproductive organs to get Irving. Looks like he could be special.

Are we talking about just putting players in the league, or are we talking about how those players do in the league?

There are a lot of variables, but I wouldn't consider whether a player becomes a superstar or not one of them. Mostly because players like that are so rare and generally so all over the map that I attribute that to their special combination of qualities, not the school they went to.
