KB2011 MOCK: 3rd Pick Jazz Selects Brandon Knight

Post #1 » by **moocow007** » Sat May 28, 2011 1:18 am

After seeing their head coach of 23 years walk out the door followed by the trade of their superstar PG Deron Williams to the Nets, the Jazz for the first time in what seems an eternity are looking at an uncertain future...

With the 3rd Pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz Select...

BRANDON KNIGHT, PG, KENTUCKY

Voting results - 12 for Knight, 9 for Kanter, 2 for Kemba Walker, 1 (semi serious) for Fredette.

Brandon Knight - gives the team a point guard for the future.

Yeah was really hoping that Utah would luck out and get the 1st overall pick but I agree...

BRANDON KNIGHT

...is there guy. I think there are some concerns about Knights game, his on floor quickness and what not, but some of those concerns were also thrown at Deron Williams. For the Jazz and their fans, let's hope Knight comes close to turning out as well as Williams.

If Jazz do go with Brandon Knight, the Cavs are set... Irving with the #1 pick and either Kanter or Derrick Williams with #4... I'd take that anyday.

While they do consider taking Knight, they decide to go BPA

So With the 3rd Pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz Select Enes Kanter

On a side note, I think the Jazz should trade back into the draft and try and get Knight at a later pick, using Hayward and #12.

Kemba Walker...they have Milsap and Jefferson they need someone to run the offense. Is it just me or am I the only one who thinks Walker is better then Knight

Knight is ridiculously overrated. He needs 2 more years of college to actually become a PG.

They take D. Williams.

To those that are picking Williams...he was picked by the Wolves (Moo tallied up the votes).

I will go with Knight but they could go in a lot of different directions. I could see a trade, I could also see Walker or Kanter and then at 12 they go with Fredette. Not sure but will go with Knight due to a need of PG.

Kanter...

Millsap and Al are both PF's, and can't start together on a contender IMO. Trade Jefferson..

However: If Utah goes Knight, and Cleveland goes Kanter, they will have 2 stud building blocks for the future at PG and Center.

Also - Varejo and Boobie or Ramon Sessions would be available to us.

I agree that both Knight AND New York's own Kemba are severely overrated. Enes or Jonas should be the next guys under consideration but they aren't impressed with Harris by all accounts and after seeing him In Jersey the past few years, neither am I. Knight is the big, intelligent, multi-faceted point guard they tend to like in Salt Lake City. They are loaded with quality and project bigs...one of whom was a top 3 pick in a stronger draft, particularly for bigs just last year who happens to be under 21 and shows serious promise in Derrick Favors. The Utah Jazz select....Brandon Knight.

We should probably add the earlier mock results to the start of each thread so we know who to pick from...because since Derrick Williams was slated to go second overall votes for him would be useless.

Regardless, I think the Jazz will select Brandon Knight even though I think he is overrated as well.I can see them picking Kanter if they don't have faith in Favors developing into the young stud that they need. It depends...Utah is one of those teams that could benefit mightily with a few trades.
