I haven't seen Knight play very much but all I know is that Kemba Walker looks like a pro when he plays, he makes the big time shots and the success of his team is undeniable. Everything about Walker screams NBA talent to me.
I haven't watched Williams play much but I caught some of the Duke game and he was incredibly impressive. He has the body, skills, size, attitude and out of the gym athleticism to be a great NBA player. He is really similar to Beasley but seems to have a much better head on him. I doubt he will still be there when our pick comes up (unless we move up) but he would be a dream guy to land. I guess I could be pumping him up a bit too much since I watched his career high performance but he was still impressive none the less.
I'm really liking this draft for some reason. I feel like there are a lot of really good prospects especially in the mid to late first round. I really hope the Jazz trade away Raja for another pick in the lower first round and pick up someone like Leslie, Smith or Faried.
Who do you want the Jazz to draft?

There isn't a team in the league that would swap a first round draft pick for Raja Bell, no matter how weak a draft may be.

Well obviously we would include more than just Raja. I'm sure you could find a contender with a late first rounder that would do a deal with Raja + goodies.The59Sound wrote:There isn't a team in the league that would swap a first round draft pick for Raja Bell, no matter how weak a draft may be.

Exactly. Next year, with big possibility team will let him walk, no need to mention of Fesenko. It is guarantee Al is with us but iam not sure of Paul and Derrick. May be they would be used for sg or other positions.
And about Enes, am from Turkey and big fan of Enes Kanter. It is easily to be said that he would be top 3 if he had a chance to show himself for the NCAA season. He is 6'10.5 in shoes and 265 pounds with brute strength and thick body. He won the MVP of U16 and U18 Europeanchampionship. Just a quick note, he destroyed the lithunian guy jonas Valanciunas as some mentions he is next Gasol with 35 points and 25 rebounds. He is the youngest player ever played in Euroleageue match when he was 16. He was back up player of Omer Asik of Bulls and Semih Erden.
Some mentions him as Al Horford but i do not agree with that. He is for sure better rebounder and post up player, stronger, taller and has better face up game. Also people try to decide about him as slow and unathletic with one game Nike Hoop Summit in 2010 but this approach is not true either. He is less athletic than Al Horford etc but he is gonna be more athletic than most of the centers in NBA and i believe in him that he can play at PF too. He even interviewed for a Turkish Slam magazine and told that he does not wanna play center but PF. For fitting at this position he told how he improved his shot range and he could make 3 point shots from the college line.
About his knees, he got arthroscopy surgery 2 and half years ago. He didnt play 6 months over it but then after the surgery, he played half season in Fenerbahce his european club.
So, according to me, he can be a good fit to jazzz rather playing as a center or PF. His flaws are not being a help defender or pick n roll defender (even though he is solid one and one defense), not chasing the perimiter guy fast enough ( Matt Boner, Frye, Ryan Anderson etc could be problem for him) and believing in himself so much (like trying to go up to the ball directly instead of boxing out).
Sorry so long post but last he is gonna be double double machine for sure. My guess in his rookie year he can produce 15 points 10 rebs easily.

Re: Who do you want the Jazz to draft?
I really want us to draft Kemba, he's a lot more NBA fit than Jimmer is. Harrison Barnes and Alec Burks would be nice pick-ups as well.
Sucks to see that the SF/PF combination is pretty much loaded for this years draft, that isn't exactly what we need.
