Wolves Begin Telling Teams They Will Select Kanter

Nobody believes the Wolves when they say the are picking Kanter.

I believe them. If Kanter is better thatn Williams then he is better, and it has zero to do with the fact that he didn't play NCAA basketball.

The idiot GMs are saying - "I can't pick him, because I don't have enough information to form an opinion." The smart GMs are doing their due diligence, working him out and trying to make as informed of an opinion as possible.

Kanter is going to be what he is going to be, but team doesn't have to wait 2-3 years and let history be the judge. Either he could be an amazing Jewel at #3 or a flop, but how is that so different from all of the other picks???

I read a tweet earlier today saying that we'd likely pass on Williams if he dropped. I can never sift through the bull on twitter though to tell what has some weight and what doesn't.

Are you saying Jazz would pass or Minnesota would pass? I assume you are a Jazz fan.

I have no idea what's going on RT @TheHoopsReport NBA GM told me tonight Jazz would consider passing on Derrick Williams if he was there

slcdunk retweeted this. I'm not saying its true or not but I imagine its unlikely. I'm a Jazz fan.

Why are the Jazz rumored to trade up to the 2? Who are they wanting to draft at 2, if not Williams?

This is a 100% contradiction of the thread that is saying the Jazz are trading up to #2 to get Derrick Williams, unless they are trading up to #2 to get Kyrie.
