Dear Kevin,

Per court order, I will remain at least two thousand feet from the venue tonight.

Dear mr. O'Connor,

If you don't find some whacky way to get Williams at 3 and Kemba at 12, I'm going to sleep with your wife.

Good post, but everybody knows it's Broconnor, not bro o'conner.

Dear Kevin O'Connor,

When you come to the podium to announce the 12 pick, please show up wearing a Jimmer jersey so I can hear the BYU fans roar, only to announce you've selected Alec Burks/Kemba instead. The faces will be so good to watch.

P.S. Go big at 3. Trade up and get D-Will or take Kanter. I'm very high on Devin.

Dear Kevin,

Draft Jimmer. Then ask BYU if they prayed the Jazz would take Jimmer. After they say yes, announce the trade.

Thanks a bunch,
Delaney

Dear Mr. O'Connor,

Don't listen to the Jimmer haters. Don't listen to the Jimmer lovers either. You are going to get booed either way. Make the best decision you can. Give us some players that are fun to watch and who can win. This is a once in a lifetime chance with two picks in the lottery.

Dear O'Connor,

I just read a report about Biyombo has medical red flags. Just thought you should know....

Draft Jimmer, you won't regret it.

Wear riot gear, it will be for your own good.

Draft Biyombo, not Jimmer.

Dear Kevin,

I thought you were a vegetarian. I saw you at the store buying a steak. I hope this means you pick Kanter at #3, though.

If Raptors take Biyombo at #5, you have to trade up with Washington at 6 to get B. Knight!!!!!

Dear Sean O'Connery,

After Bat sleeps with your wife he'll tell her he's really gay and did it for the team.

Mission completed. Kanter is going to be a beast down low, easily my pick to be the best player from this year's draft.

Post #37 » by **jazzfan1971** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:18 pm

I think his potential is highest, only because good centers are so rare. But, his risk is also the highest. I think Irving is the best bet to be the best player.

I don't know about Williams, he'll need to land in the right situation. But, if he does he could also be the best player.

I'd rank Kanter about 3rd, right where he was drafted. But with a high ceiling, just because it's much easier to be a top 5 center than a top 5 PG.

Note to KOC

Thanks!

Thanks for stopping the never ending Jimmer talk. Thanks for picking two guys this time, who like Hayward and unlike Humphries have potential.

Thanks for putting up with everybody's s**t at the ESA and on this forum.

Humphries has turned into an okay player. There was quite a long wait period, though.

My bad 59, Humphries did have a good season last year and he got a Kardashian for his reward?

And I didn't include Kirk Synder his draft mate.

Of course Synder found basketball success with the Chinese Basketball Association's Zhejiang Horses. Great team there.

Then Snyder was arrested on March 30, 2009 after he allegedly broke into a Warren County, Ohio home and assaulted a man, sheriff deputies said. He was charged with aggravated burglary; he pleaded not guilty at a March 31, 2009 hearing and was held on $500,000 bail.[

He was subsequently convicted and sentenced to three years in jail and fined $5,550 in restitution. He was released early and signed with the Halifax Rainmen in Canada. Andre Levingston, the owner of the team, said, "Everybody makes mistakes, but I don't think they should be crucified for the rest of their life. You pay your debt to society and you humble yourself and you learn from your mistakes. So everybody deserves a second chance, maybe a third chance."

So far Kanter and Burks look more promising.
