Jordan Hamilton at #12

Very much more so with Hamilton, however.

I'm not sure. Jimmer, Burks both especially have legit defensive concerns.

hook em horns!

hamilton had a great regular season but was more of a no show in the tournament. hes a great shooter off of curls and off ball screens. not a great athlete, but id be happy with him @ 12. I still think i like fredette at 12 better.

Sounds like a great fit for the Jazz system. That's exactly what Harpring was doing, and when they weren't shooting threes, Korver and then Hayward.

One of the knocks on Hamilton is he doesn't finish well at the rim. That would be a concern with the amount of backdoor cuts the Jazz run.

It was a positive interview, especially the part about how he had Texas make a compilation of all the bad shots he took as a freshman. That shows real initiative and concern over improving his game. Talking about loosening up his hips was a bit weird, but maybe he thinks teams really want him to play SG and his yoga instructor sold him on the idea that working on his hips would make him quicker.

I've got Hamilton over Thompson, then Burks. I'm not even imagining that Biyombo will fall this far, but if he did there is no question he'd be over Hamilton.

At the combine, the commentators said that Hamilton could have the potential to be a 20 pt avg. scorer in the NBA. If he can get some discipline with this shot selection, he could be a good pick at 12.

The few articles I've read Hamilton has been getting abused in the workouts. I think one of the Marcus Morris was teaching him a few lessons. I was high on him at the beginning of the year but I am not sure about him after seeing him play in more games.

he is the best possible at 12. i hope we pick him
