favors
evans

all natural 4s....

a team of power forwards
 
So he could rebound against a bunch of Euro big who don't rebound?

Yep, Infinately better than not getting rebounds against Euro bigs who don't rebound. Which is further reason why Euro bigs who don't rebound suck. I suspect that half of all shots in Europe bounce off the rim hit the floor two or three times then go out of bounds, while everybody watches it happen. :) I suspect they are mesmorized by the trapezoidal key and hot Czech girlfriends.

Favors at least has the length and athleticism to play the center position. The others(including Kanter) seems like PF's to me. logjam.

I think that jefferson, favors and kanter can all play the 4 or 5 effectively.
 
Welcome Enes! :D I know he likes WWE and The Undertaker, so i say he should get an entrance like The Undertaker for his first NBA game. I know cheesy right, but isn't that his dream too? LOL I'm down for it!
 
jefferson doesnt have much range to play the 4. He was effective anchoring the offense inside and averaged what, 2 bpg? im happy with that.
 
Come on guys, factor in team needs before you go patting yourselves on the back for Knight falling. We all knew if the Jazz did not take him he would fall at least a couple of places if not more. He was the first point guard taken after Kyrie.

While I agree that Kanter was the right choice, I find it odd that because Knight fell to 8 that people are justified in saying he was overrated.

In this draft with team's boards all over the place, I feel Knight is better than his 8th spot suggests. With the fluidity of this draft, a lot of players went higher or lower than their actual worth due to teams picking for need rather than BPA.

What's worse, he's in a horrible position with the overstocked backcourt of the Pistons because they actually chose based on BPA.
 
They are haters. I wanted nothing to do with kanter, but ill support the pick. Knight will be special and i still think there is a strong possibility we will make a move for him.
 
jefferson doesnt have much range to play the 4.

Wait what? Range compared to who? Memo?

Jefferson has plenty of range for a PF, in fact that's why he's messing with the flow of the Jazz offense. His confidence in his looooong jumpers is making him use the paint like a fat man uses a treadmill in the corner of his basement.

He has so much potential, size, and talent to dominate the paint, I just wanna get a tall ladder and scream in his ear, "You're built like a ****** truck, run people over".

Sorry, but he plays like a 4, we need him to use his size to play the 5.
 
Surprised=pissed when you just lost millions of dollars and had your ego bruised.
Not everyone responds to disappointment by getting "pissed." Maybe he's sad. Maybe he's dumbfounded. Maybe he's cautiously optimistic. Maybe he's thoughtful, embarrassed, or humored. Why does he have to be PISSED!!!? Yarrahghgh arghhh!! *gnashes teeth*

And where do you get the "not happy to be in Detroit" part?
 
KOC took a risk here, drafting unproven guy, so let's just hope he saw more things being closer to Kanter than the fans, and the risk will pay-off. Can't wait to see him in the summer league.

I'm pretty sure KOC just watched and then rewatched over and over his NHS performance.
 
Burks can be a PG offensively, like a Brandon Roy. We will need a player to defend the opposing teams PG on the defensive end though. Burks couldn't guard the small, super quick guards.

It's illegal to guard small super quick guards on the perimeter, so why worry about it? Best way to guard them is clog the lane with a Turk.
