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

Drafting Jimmer after Knight is the height of Jimmer desperation. So far.

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!

Hmm this is a really big win for Kemba. He is 6' or 6'1" in shoes. Jimmer came in about what everyone was expecting about 6'2". Any word on wingspan or standing reach?

I think it depends on who falls in the draft. Jazz would be stupid if someone in the top five fell to them at 12 not to take them.

I think it's a bad draft if the Jazz don't get Kanter or Williams at #2.

Listening and reading David Locke's statistics showing the success rate of players drafted in different positions (e.g., 1-3, 4-10, 11-15, etc.) I'm convinced that who we select at #3 historically has huge potential impact but who we select at #12 historically has very little impact. Thus I don't really care that much about #12; in fact, I think taking a flier on Jimmer might be a risk worth taking. If it doesn't pan out, that's ok, #12 picks rarely pan out. If Jimmer could end up being a JJ Barea (maybe his upside), I'd be pretty happy with that, as I consider JJ a quality backup who can occasionally impact the game. The #3 pick HAS to be pegged as a starter, and soon. I'm perfectly comfortable using the #12 pick to get a quality sub and role player.

Derrick Williams or bust.

the 12 pick probably won't make a big difference one way or the other.

nothing about there wingspans on the twitter feed

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

Yeah - but could he be saying Clv and Minny so that he could get to be higher picks? Washington cos John Wall's there feeding him?

Jimmer has more in common with Terry than Barrea, Barrea is good because he is quicker than anyone else on the court and get anywhere he wants if the other team doesn't have a player who can match his quickness.

This.

Drafting Knight and Jimmer would make the T-Wolves look like genius drafters.
