Who cares? This draft sucked. The only thing that should be corrected is the Jazz taking Brandon Knight instead of Enes Kanter. Knight will be a great point guard in the league and instead take the best center available in a weak center draft. They should have taken Knight and then use one of their two 2012 lottery picks on one of the great bigs coming out of next years stacked draft. No doubt in my mind the Jazz can get their hands on one of Andre Drummond, Anthony Davis, Perry Jones or Jared Sullinger in this years draft, all who IMO will be better than Kanter. Not trying to hate on Kanter, but I think a Knight/2012 big man tandem is better than a Harris/Kanter tandem.

1. Cleveland - Irving (Needed a young franchise PG, Ramon Sessions ain't it and B Diddy got chopped)
2. Minnesota - Brooks (Needed a franchise SG to go w/ Rubio and Love to make their Big 3)
3. Utah - Williams (Needed a franchise SF who can score, looks like that'll be one of their problems)
4. Cleveland - Shumpert (Need a SG to go w/ Irving looks like he'll be the truth, defense and scores)
5. Toronto - Jonas V (Need potential franchise C to go w/ Bargs or Davis)

Not sure about the rest.

From what I hear Cavs are ok with Tristan and although Marshon would be a great fit, I think Derrick has more upside/trade value.

Cavs: Tristan is cool BUT knowing it was likely gonna be a shortened season and that they'd definitely have a bad record they coulda gotten a better PF in 2012, meanwhile roll Jamison out there in his wheelchair til the wheels fall off.

Wolves: Eh... I think Williams is gonna be a BEAST but they already had Beasley playing for a contract and considering how well Rubio has played and how well Kevin Love is playing, it seems that they'd need a scorer in the half court set and I think MarShon is the best of all the rookies at that, not to mention I think he's Kobe 2.0.

I'm more or less looking at fit also.

Yeah, if Jonas was still on the board...keep in mind how much his stock went up shortly after the draft (due to his strong U18 and National Team play).

I think Kanter will be a great Center in this league.
Already is 5.5 rpg playing only 17 min per game.
When he is playing alongside Favors our interior defense is huge, a great impact.

Elden Payton · Post #15 » by **Elden Payton** » Thu Jan 5, 2012 11:22 pm

Too early to tell, we should do this at the halfway point of the season.

Mr Knick · Post #16 » by **Mr Knick** » Thu Jan 5, 2012 11:24 pm

I like Kanter also, might take a year or two. But he going to be a big time rebounder in this league.

Aventador · Post #17 » by **Aventador** » Thu Jan 5, 2012 11:25 pm

list starts and ends with Iman

Post #18 » by **FJS** » Thu Jan 5, 2012 11:34 pm

Sorry, Kanter is 5.5 rpg, in 15 min.

Brooks is overachieving on a terrible Nets team (kinda like Jennings in his rookie year) and some people are already willing to pick him 2nd- 5th? Lol.

1. Iman Shumpert - obvious future GOAT

rest don't matter
