I was just thinking about the Klay Thompson and the 2011 NBA draft and wondered if the jazz would have taken him over Burks if he was available. He has been tearing it up this year. I was also curious where they had the PG's ranked in comparison.
Knight
Walker
Fredette
Thompson
Burks
Where do you think the Jazz had these guys ranked?
Also, last year if the Jazz would have picked Thompson over Burks, would you have been upset? And would you prefer Thompson to Burks knowing what you know now?
I like Burks, but he seems a ways away from being ready (how much of that is PT and opportunity, I don't know). But I think that Thompson would make this team so much better.
I know this is a trivial topic since the draft is over, and we didn't get the option to pick any of these players, but I don't remember thinking too much of Thompson last year before the draft. Is there anyone next year that could be as big of a surprise?
