Would you be happy with a Knight/Fredette draft combo?

[Kenzington]

This team needs guards, and both players have point skills with deadly shooting range. They are probably the two highest character people in the draft, as well. Not to mention, Jimmer would be a good business decisions with ticket sales and merchandise coming from BYU. Both players just seem to have a natural "fit" with the franchise.

But then again, some people want Kanter at #3, and Biyombo might even be available at #12 (just barely). Either one of these would also be great pick-ups. I would personally love to be able to trade Harris and a 2013 pick for Kanter, but it's not likely to happen. Even though that would be throwing some young guards into the fire, both appear to have the mentality to handle it.

NBADraft.net projects Klay Thompson as Utah's #12 pick, but I know that a lot of people would prefer Jimmer to that. Both Knight and Fredette have their risks and advantages, but they both have the potential to average in the mid-20's in point production.

Like it or hate it?

I'm pretty down on Knight but some of that is in response to the, in my view, idealized love that many are showering on him. I think many are down on Fredette for the same reason.

I'm ok with either player at 12. But not at 3.

No! I always wish the jazz would draft more athletic type of players...... and I almost always watch them draft/trade for white nonathletic type of players

I'd rather not be the Timberwolves

Jimmer at 12 unless they take Knight or somehow end up with Irving.

No.
I would be fine with one of them, but not both.
I would rather take a flier on Jimmer @ 12, than take Knight @ 3.

Jimmer's measurements 6ft 3/4in with out shoes. Walker 5ft 11.3/4in without shoes. Knight I think has more upside with the 3rd pick. Kanter just said he wants to go to Washington, Clvland, or Minny. Nothing about Utah and it's sad he wants Minny more then Utah!! Plus, I think Knight at 3 and Singleton at 12 would be a solid draft, which would allow Hayward to play the 2!

I guess the idealized love is why Kanter is starting to get on my nerves.

Where did you get your measurements?

And if Kanter does't want to play in Utah lets draft Knight!!

Well, we have that in common at least. Just for different players.
