"With the 12th pick the jazz select" jazzfanz survivor

Brucs and Biyombo. Keep in mind Burcs is a partial homer pick as he went to Colorado, but I also think he could be of real help too.
 
Surprised to see Selby on your list, but he is WAY undervalued in this draft ... I believe he is only BARELY behind Knight and Walker.
 
Based solely on my opinion. Being a rabid UK fan, I tend to watch all top prospects at the prep level from the time they're sophomores. There was good reason that Selby was named #1 in the nation (Rivals). My opinion is had he played for a Calipari and was able to showcase his full array of skill, he'd be projected 5 - 12 this year. As it was, Bill Self (like most college coaches) favored going with his veterans while leaving Selby fewer minutes (than what I feel he deserved).

Spending a lotto pick on some based purely off potential scares me (high school rankings essentially)...even in a very weak draft like this. I think there a lot of better options that have proven track records. But to each his own...
 
I dont think pkm is saying pick him, either am i. But the reality is that he is undervalued and will likely have a decent career.

Well, we'll see where he lands ultimately. His stock has apparently been rising since he's had good workouts. And considering his lack of production in his only year in school...I think it's hard to say he's being undervalued.
 
In fairness, we'll see how he performs in the league. I just think he's a heck of a get at now 2nd round (DX). I'd take him, easily, around 17 or 18.

Oh yeah, of course. I know it's all conjecture at this point. He may turn out to be a good player, who knows. Just too much of a risk for my taste in the 1st round though.
