KB2011 MOCK: 12th Pick Utah Select Klay Thompson

[moocow007]

Utah once again is on the board. Having already selected Brandon Knight with the 3rd overall pick, who will tickle their fancy here? News that the Jazz are not relying on Mehmet Okur to return to form may open up room for the skilled Lithuanian or could they possibly go with the fan vote and take the PG from BYU? Or maybe they surprise everyone with a true SG?

With the 12th Pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz select...

KLAY THOMPSON, SG, WASHINGTON STATE

[moocow007]

I'm going to go with Klay Thompson. What they do not have right now on that team is anyone who can hit a 3. Fredette may be the popular pick but they need a SG badly and Klay Thompson is the highest ranked SG left. Utah Jazz start rebuild with fans cheering on a backcourt of Brandon Knight and Klay Thompson.

[Marty McFly]

Klay.

Or Donatas Motiejunas. I voted Donatas, he can replace Okur in their rotation.

[BLACKFEET 2010]

I think they'd pick Tobias Harris. They don't have that kind of player on their roster. I think they like CJ Miles as their two. He's still a pretty young guy and he is still improving as a player. They still have Devin...I could see them starting Knight and Devin together in the backcourt with Haywood at the three. Miles and Tobias off the bench with Favors and Evans is an energetic and solid second unit. Just my opinion.

[TrueWarrior]

This pick all depends on who they take at 3, so if they take Knight or Kemba then obviously I dont see them picking Jimmer. But you never know. Then as far as big men go they are set there with Jefferson, Millsap, Favors, and Okur if he comes back, so that crosses off the bigs. Yea Im going to have to go with Klay here too. Donatas is a close second on talent alone, but hes been dropping all over the place.

[Kn1cks]

I'd take Klay Thompson. Utah needs a pure shooter and a 2 guard.

[Jmonty580]

I think they take Dontas. They'll need a center sooner or later. Get Dontas bring him along slowly with Knight.

[Jose7]

Marcus Morris no question.

With Kirilenko's status as a UFA up in the air I think they will draft a SF here, just incase Gordan Heyward does not work out.

[NYman15]

I went with Klay here. They could use a guy to spread the floor and hit 3's. I still wouldn't rule out Jimmer, even with Knight.

[I_Love_NYK]

Raja Bell seemed to be a failure also never really got back on track from his injury last season, and CJ Miles seems to just be a 6th man.

[moocow007]

With Kirilenko's status as a UFA up in the air I think they will draft a SF here, just incase Gordan Heyward does not work out.

Hayward looked real good late last season and CJ Miles is really more of a SF than he is a SG. At less than 200lbs, Jeremy Evans is probably also more of an SF at this point than PF. And I don't think they'd go into Haywards sophmore season thinking that he's not going to work out and drafting someone to take over for him after one season. Besides there really isn't any ideal SF at this point. Harris is a reach. Jordan Hamilton? Nothing about him screams he's in any way better than Hayward in any area.

[SonOfMars]

Jimmer, he has a HUGE following out their and they need to sell tickets..

[Manhattan Project]

Went Klay, they won't take Knight then Jimmer.

[knicksosmoove]

Jimmer

[Marty McFly]

Went Klay, they won't take Knight then Jimmer.

exactly.

you guys are **** this draft up.

[SonOfMars]

Oops, You guys are right. I forgot we had them taking BKnight - Which I disagree with, but whats done is done..

Vote changed to Klay.

[Knicksfan20]

Klay Thompson makes sense here, but im going with Marcus Morris cuz i want Klay to drop to us
