Has it always been like this? I always thought they could make trades during the draft...
Usually the trades aren't announced or leaked until during the draft.
Really hoping Kemba drops to 12. Kanter + Kemba is homerun.
Jimmer is fine. No Klay please.
My heart is already starting to pound. Can't wait until 1am!!!

To answer the question about trading draft picks. If the picks are traded before the draft it has to be done by Noon. So if you want your guy to wear your team hat when he shakes Sterns hand--the deal has to be done before noon.
Trades can still happen durring the draft.

That would suggest we want Williams? Or would it suggest we want Kanter? I have no idea!!!!!!!
Or Irving, lol

I think Utah had a deal in place with Washington and Minnesota got wind of it and through themselves into the middle of it. They started the Kanter draft talk yesterday to force the Jazz and Bullets to include the Timberpups in dealings.
Kahn likes collecting draft picks more than he likes to actually assemble a team.
Maybe the draft becomes:
1- Irving
2- Jonas
3- Kanter
leaving cleveland without the coveted big man.

Yes, because the consensus #2 pick in the draft Derrick Williams who stands 6'9 isn't a coveted big man.

I hope this isn't a Kanter/Jimmer draft, but I can't really complain if that's the angle. It increasingly looks like Biyombo/JV won't slide so it might be the best course. I'm almost leaning toward a trade back for JV, or selecting him outright over Kanter. But my dream is still Knight/Biyombo/JV. I wonder if KOC can pull that off.
Why is Irving considered a great floor leader and true point guard when he only averaged 4.3 assists? Knight averaged 4.2 that .1 is a big difference I guess. I know he played less minutes than Knight but he seems like a shoot first PG more similar to Rose than CP3.

That's a lot of assists in college basketball.
More rumors from hoops hype
This would be great because Dwill would slide to us. Also would you guys consider this trade if Kanter is there at 3 for us? There might be better trades but Josh Smith > Kanter. Josh Smith could be a solid 3 for us.

4.3 is right at 100th, but there are over 300 college basketball teams, and both Knight and Irving were freshman. Also, keep in mind that Irving shared the court with Nolan Smith on occasion (Jimmer had the ball in his hands a hell of a lot more than Irving), so it's understandable that his assists aren't in the lofty 6+ range (15 players attained the mark this last season).

Irving is a lot more polished at this point (shot 57% on 2s, 46% on 3s and 90% on free throws vs. 46%-38%-80% for Knight), but Knight has a better body and is purportedly highly intelligent. If the Jazz can land Derrick Williams AND Brandon Knight, wow.
