My preferences for each pick go like this, in order...(as of right now)

#3 - Kanter/Williams/Walker or Knight (tie)/Biyombo or Vesley (tie)
#12 - Fredette/Singleton or K-Thompson (tie)/T-Thompson/Montiejunas/Brooks/Burks/Shumpert

I think Biyombo and Vesley are the dark horses in this draft. I won't be surprised to see one of them or maybe even both go in the top 5. Don't be shocked if the Jazz gamble on one of them with the #3....just putting that out there....

I doubt Biyombo falls that far.

Hmm...I guess this would be my top 15:

1. Irving
2. Williams
3. Kanter
4. Knight
5. Biyombo
6. Vesley
7. Vilicious (?)
8. Burks
9. Walker
10. Montajeaous (?)
11. Leonard
12. Trisan
13. Singleton
14. The Jimmer
15. Thompson

Probably pretty similar to everyone else's. Frankly, I'd be happy with any of the top 4 at 3, and anyone else at 12 (I really hope Burks drops to the Jazz, though I doubt it). Maybe I'm viewing this draft with semi rose colored glasses, but all the prospects have their pluses and minuses and there's just not one player that screams bust or star to me.

Updated my big board...ya, it's long but it's in case of a trade to a lower 1st pick. I keep flirting with the idea of switching Walker with Knight but I just can't do it yet. Kanter dropped from #2 to #5 for me after hearing about his workouts and seeing more film. Fredette jumped Biyombo for now.

1- Kyrie Irving
2- Derrick Williams
3- Brandon Knight
4- Kemba Walker
5- Enes Kanter
6- Jan Vesley
8- Jimmer Fredette
9- Bismack Biyombo
10- Jonas Valanciunas
11- Kawhi Leonard
12- Alec Burks
13- Chris Singleton
14- Klay Thompson
15-Donatas Montiejunas
16- Jordan Hamilton
17- Tristan Thompson
18- Kenneth Faried
19- Marshon Brooks
20- Travis Leslie
21- Jeremy Tyler
22- Jimmy Butler

That was my bad. I knew I was missing some names when I posted it last night. It's fixed now if you want to go back and take a look.

As for the question about Klay Thompson...I think his shooting fits a need for the Jazz and he has decent enough size and overall skill. He is lower on my board than most because I think he is a poor mans Hayward which we don't need and there are other players who fit the needs of the Jazz more than him. I like him but not that much, especially for the Jazz.
