Jazz will take Brandon Knight at #3

[cyclo]

And you want VESELY? That's rich.

Vesely is spectacular runner and athlete for a 6'11" forward and he plays hard Blake Griffin-style.

That is rich.

 

[shadler]

It makes no sense for them just to give the starting job to Knight. Maybe they will. But I guess we'll see.

It does if they want to start from scratch and start over. I am a big Harris fan and he is better then both those players. I just thing there is way too much smoke that they don't view him as the future pg on this team. Going to be interesting in the next week to see what happens. I think the jazz are going to see a lot of movement in this draft. They might want to get all their deals done before the lock out. I think they are looking for a pg like evans curry range to trade for but i don't think they will pull that kind of trade off.

What ELSE can he do? No one has been able to answer. He looks like a talentless version of AK to me.

"Blake-Griffin style". Get real, dude.

 

[cyclo]

Which tandem do you prefer?

Knight/Jimmer

Knight/Singleton

I prefer Knight/Singleton, but those two may not end up better than some of the other players the Jazz could have drafted..... and it's going to be sad in a few years when the Jazz realize they could have drafted a Vesely, Kanter or Jackson.

I think he will eventually be traded. Not sure that it will be this year though.

Come on, now. Jarron Collins plays hard.

He still has to develop some kind of shot which he hasn't yet. Vesely is as high risk as it gets in this draft. Is there a huge reward if he pans out? Sure. But if he doesn't, he is the type of pick at 3 that would get a GM fired. Maybe not in Utah because we don't fire anyone.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Brandon Knight is the man.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I would be very happy with one of these 3 pick combos: Knight/Biyombo, Knight/Hamilton, or Knight/Motiejunas.

 

[A-Train (old)]

Vesely has been called the "Blake Griffin of Europe" because of his hard-nosed, rugged style of play, his great leaping ability and his forceful dunking on people. Pass on this guy at your own risk.

What else can he do? He can play tough defense, handle the ball a bit and shoot from the perimeter and will end up being a good shooter in the NBA.

Again, pass on this guy at your own risk.

Who called him the "Blake Griffin of Europe"? I did one time a few days ago, I said something like Vesely is the Blake Griffin of Europe except Vesely is a better three-point shooter than Griffin, but Griffin is a better free-throw shooter and rebounder.

Blake Griffin of Europe <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Actual Blake Griffin

 

[Fishsticks]

Knight and Singleton are good fits for the Jazz, but they may not end up being the best players the Jazz could have taken. Knight is limited as an athlete and isn't much of a defender, while Singleton is offensively-challenged.

You have no clue what your talking about. Just shut the hell up while you have an ounce of integrity left.

Yea for runners.

Yep any of those.

Standing 6'11", Vesely has been called the "Blake Griffin of Europe" because of his hard-nosed, rugged style of play, great leaping ability and forceful dunking on people. Pass on this guy at your own risk.

hey.....you forgot that his the most awesome runner eeeeevvvverrrzzzzz!

You're an idiot.

Have you seen Knight play?

Good player, but he isn't very athletic and not very strong either. Watch the footage.

Do you know anything about Singleton?

Great 6'9" defender, but he is offensively-challenged. Not a scorer. Worse scorer than AK.

 

[Dr. Jones]

*sigh* ... guess I'll jump in and play along too ..

I've seen Knight play, a hell of a lot. He's plenty athletic, plenty. He's also plenty strong, plenty. He simply has to learn better how to absorb and finish rather than avoid contact.

Singleton - It's like saying Jimmer can't play defense (not saying he can, btw) when his number was called to score. Singleton was asked to expend his energy on 'D.' He shot a decent % from 3 and is a spectacular athlete with TONS of upside.

How about you just educate us with real data/footage/whatever on your man Jan without the need for bringing others down to do so?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I have seen the offspring of Box and Cyclo ..

Ryan Feldman also says that the Cavs are the team highest on Kanter right now, and that they're hoping he's available at 4. It seems that it would be in the best interest of the Jazz if rumors indicated that their intentions were to draft Kanter, not Knight. I don't understand why the Jazz would want to take Knight at 3 (as opposed to 4 or 5 via trade), and even if they do want to take him at 3, I don't understand why there'd be rumors to that effect.
