What would you do if Jazz draft Kon Knoepple at #5?

[slc]

Useless trivia but Kon's dad is also named Kon. His brother's names are Kager, Kinston, Kash and Kid.

Can any of his brothers play ball?

Can any of his brothers play ball?

yes. the next oldest is a top HS prospect. his parents are both the all time leading scorers at their respective colleges so my guess is they can all play.

just because he doesn't have mobility doesn't mean he can't. you get good at what you work on, and after an off season of mobility training, he could probably become serviceable as a cutter, add that to the rest and he'd be pretty good. If joe could be traded with a bad knee to a team that actually wanted to play him, than kon can be a contributor. i think a lot of us are stuck on having the number one pick still, at five you are lucky to get a starter for a playoff team.

I don't hate Don, but there are 6 or 7 players I would prefer this year

His uncles are also Klint, Klay, and Kole. I know we like white players here in Utah, but this may be the whitest player in America.

Are you aware that Kyle Korver's brothers are called Klayton, Kaleb and Kirk? And that his dad is Kevin, he has an uncle called Kris and a cousin called Kari. His kids are Kyra, Knox and Koen.

This is one of my favorite weird facts. Are the Knoeppels a copycat family?

Latest ESPN mock has him going to Charlotte at 4 so we may have no decision on KK.

I wouldn't pick him over Tre Johnson... but I think he has a very high floor and more upside than most think. He does everything the right way- and has a no-nonsense, gritty quality that reminds me of John Stockton (in terms of demeanor and bb IQ).

fun fact: his offensive rating is 133.7 and defensive rating is 98.8. That is a CRAZY differential between the two... as high as I have seen. So there may be more to him than meets the eye?

He does everything. He's a good shooter and super smart. He's like a baby Jingles mixed with Chris Mullen. He'd be the Jazzs point forward and be a guy you'd count on to make the right play.
I'd pick a million K nipples over 1 Cody Williams.

I mean, I wouldn't Knuepple if Jazz traded down to 7 or 8, and added more 1st rd pick for this year or the next. It's just #5 seems somewhat high to draft him at.

I'd even do Knuepple at 6 for 5 and 18.

No option for "shrug" and pour myself a bourbon?

Probably not since he played with 2 huge defensive anchors

I compared Kon to a guy from Boise State who will not be drafted. The BSU guy averaged four more points per game, out rebounded him and had a better field goal percentage. I get the BSU guy is older but geeze louise.

 

[idiot]

Well do you think it would be smart or stupid of them to not swing at one of VJ, Tre or Ace but instead take a bunt with Knipple?

Hit a triple with Knueppel.

 

[The Midnight]

Hit a triple with Knueppel.

You’re lucky it’s a line drive double.. lol..

[FalseFlagg K]

What, we don't have any obscure Aussies out there that haven't been seen or heard of for over a year but have huge upside?

****ing weird comment mate

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

You don't swing you don't hit a home-run...

You can’t single your way to a championship.

I think Kon can be a triple. That might advance other runners. RBIs are valuable.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Could you imagine doing the trade that was suggested doing 5 for 6 and 18.
Then drafting
Kon
Demin
Raynaud?

People have already typecast the jazz.

happens every year and it has no basis in reality. jazz have drafted 5 players in the 1st round the last two years and all have been black. people are idiots.
