The what if game...

What if the other 4 top freshmen decided to come out this year, how would've that changed your top 5 and who would've you chosen #3?

When I heard we got the third pick the first thing I thought of was Harrison Barnes and his decision to stay in school.

We'd be on Barnes like white on rice. Damn you Roy Williams.

I'm actually quite glad that these guys have postponed their decision, since we got the 3rd pick this year, and a great chance at getting an 8-14th pick next season. The 2012 8th would be a like a top 5 in a regular year, so the stock of our 2012 pick has risen. :-D

Jazz would have probably taken Barnes at #3, I don't think any of the other guys were on the team's radar.

Barnes would have gone 1 IMO. Irving 2, sullinger, Williams, kanter and jones would have been in the discussion at 3.

There's no chance Jones would have been taken by the Jazz: His upside is Favors without defense, his attitude is terrible and a mix between Deron and Bosh which I think the Jazz will be trying to avoid in the near future.

I don't think the jazz would have taken him, I don't think they would have taken sullinger either, but he'd be brought in for a look.
