I got the GSW pick as a #9 and the picked Jared Sullinger a PF. If that happens I would be stunned if there is not trade where a big gets moved out. (We'd have Big Al, Millsap, Favors, Kanter, Sullinger and Evans)
I keep getting the same thing accept Lamb once. I've been down on Sullinger for the last two years and hate the Millsap comparison they make on there. If they perfected the time machine and could get Sullinger back to 1972 I think he'd be a good asset to have though. Kid just camps in the paint and muscles college kids, wont happen in the NBA, IMO.
I got Leonard every time. Pass.
?? I haven't been following this but I thought this year's class was supposed to be one of the best since many players passed on last year's draft??? I don't really see it - the field looks pretty average from #7 onwards.
Looking at this - I'm pretty happy with Kanter as our #3 pick last year. I think he has as much upside/potential as anyone with the exception of Davis, Barnes and MKG.

Davis in 100% incredible.
No, there are no lottery worthy PG's in 2012. There are also none in 2013 .. barring someone emerging in a big way. I've been posting that warning for 2 years now.
The draft is stacked out to 20, easily. Definitely have to consider Andre Drummond as a top potential guy as well .. even though I think he's been disappointing this year (10/8).

Let's be honest the Jazz desperately want to draft a SF (PG would be ideal, but apparently God decided not to make any in 1993). This draft is loaded with PFs, the last position the Jazz would draft, and if things pan out like Mr. Ford has on this website then I definitely see the Jazz trading their pick. If they get their own lottery pick I could see them packaging both picks (say 9 & 13) to move up to grab either Barnes, MKG (possibly even P. Jones - I could see him playing SF) or if they just get GS's pick I could see them trading back to either pick up Q. Miller (just outside the lottery - according to Mr. Ford here) or a PG.
If the Jazz do get a pick in the lottery I would have to think that they will do whatever necessary to walk away with any of those 4. - My order would be:
1. Barnes (if we didn't lack an outside threat so much I'd go with my #2)
2. MKG - would instantly become a fan favorite - think a 6'7" Earl Watson on steroids
3. Q. Miller - Long, athletic, can shoot
4. P. Jones - lukewarm, but I'd want him over the 10 other PFs in the lottery as I could really see him playing the 3 - even though that wouldn't be his idle position.

Everything I have seen or read about this guys character (has not been alot of material) has pointed to him being the kind of guy the Jazz want. Hard working, good kid. Maybe we can get lucky and land him and work on getting some shooters thru a trade.
That's funny because I've always questioned PJones' effort/intensity.
Both of the Jones' are tweeners and I don't think either can play the SF position except the occassional favorable matchup.
Mine are (in order) Barnes, Miller, MKG. I love MKG, I just can't deny the upside of Miller and the shooting of Barnes.
Like you said, if we had great shooters already, I'd take MKG for his lockdown defense, stat stuffing, and intangibles.

I see a dropoff in talent after Michael Kidd.
As things stand now, Utah could likely get one of the better PG's in the next draft with their own pick (likely in the early or late teens), not to mention the GSW pick (which, if there is not someone they like, they could consider packaging in a trade).

Rep-ed for having such a great idea. +however many
Holy ****. Nightmarishly stupid scenario.
