Jazz Draft Pick for Next Year

[default]

Why don't we just pick Jimmer Fredette while we are at it.
He should be available in the later portion of the 1st round.

I'm just curious. . . who do you guys think will have the better pro career . . Jimmer or Hayward? Then again, that might need its own thread.

He doesn't project all that well to me because I don't think he can do what he does best(score) at a high level in the NBA. NBA bigs are going to eat him alive when he tries to get in the paint, and he isn't the greatest passer. He gets himself "caught" too much, and you can't have that in a ball dominate player. His range is ridiculous though, and he has been fun to watch in college, so I hope he finds a niche somewhere.

I think Jimmer will have the better pro career out of the two.
My main reason is Jimmer seems to have more... I don't know what to call it... drive, determination, work.... that gameface.
You know the face good players pull when they are determined to get something done... you see it in Jordan, Stockton, Kobe... etc.
I see that in Jimmer, but I don't really see it in Hayward.

What do I know though.

A couple of other players that played NAIA ball were Elgin Baylor and Slick Watts.

The NAIA was very, very different back then.

Adding to that, Jimmer's shot is Nash-esque. Dominant. Unshakable. Jimmer could be Eddie House pretty easily, maybe with less D and better court-vision/passing/PG ability.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think with these undersized/underathletic 2 guards its all about confidence and IQ. Those are the players that find a niche in the league.

Hey *******s, we don't even own our first rounder this year.

You obviously didn't watch Hayward much in college.

True, I did not watch him much in college.
I am basing it off of what I have seen.
I also am not as in love with Jimmer as you are with Hayward, so I may have missed something there.

If Hayward keeps playing like he did in the 4th quarter in the Minny game, I may change my tune.

Hey, we don't even own our first rounder this year.

You are right as long as it is not 1-15, it will pass through Philly, to Minnesota.
I bet some posters will be happy, because "we always waste our 1st round picks, and get crappy players."

We do have this though.
--Memphis sends Utah a 2011 1st round pick in exchange for Ronnie Brewer. The pick is lottery protected in 2011, top-12 protected in 2012, top-10 protected in 2013, top-9 protected in 2014 and 2015. Utah will receive 3 million in cash if the pick is not exercised by 2016.

Also owned by Minnesota...

Thanks David, and that sucks.
Do you think you could do us a favor, and have your people at the front office give us at Jazzfanz a quick rundown of the next few years of picks we will have available. It might cut down on useless speculation.

Thank you.
