out of pure curiosity, what made you go with Lee for Orlando?

They need a shooting guard and a power forward.The top notch power forwards will be all gone(with an outside chance of Speights dropping there) so they will probably go with Lee or CDR. I read in a couple of places that Lee is Smith's favourite.Also Lee's workouts have been better than CDR's.
Also CDR can have some problems defensively and his offense is based more on slashing which could be a problem with Dwight clogging the middle on offense.Lee is better defensively and a better shooter which will suit much better with Orlando's "spread the floor-let Dwight dominate the paint" philosophy.

So the Jazz draft 2 PGs with their first 2 pick? lol, OK.

And they pass on their top big man Hibbert and McGee?

They have two needs:back up point guard and back up center.Chalmers would make a great back up to Deron.I feel that Chalmers is their first choice and Hibbert is 2nd.McGee is not a defensive big,he wanders around perimeter mostly so I highly doubt he is someone that Utah will draft.

They dont have a lot of room in their roster and the back-up big they would be looking for wont be avaialble at 46 that's why I have them taking a european prospect and stashing him in Europe for a couple of years and get the back up big man (someone like Diop maybe) using 2-3 mil from the MLE.

I agree with fivas 14. Jazz have invited big Roy Hibbert back for a second look. As a Jazzfan I see him as the favorite followed by McGee and then Chris Douglas-Roberts/Jawai/Ibaka.

I love both picks for the Rockets. Hibbert would be perfect in Adelman's offense and he can give Yao a break on game nights. But I see the Jazz picking him up before us. As for Jefferson, I really like his potential. He is very athletic for a 3 and can shoot the rock well, a must in our offense. He just needs work on defense and passing, but the offensive game is there.

I like both picks.
