Sources say that the Charlotte Bobcats (9), Milwaukee Bucks (10) and Golden State Warriors (11) are also open to moving their pick. In this case the interest is all pretty specific. The Knicks, and a handful of other teams, are trying to get ahead of the Jazz. The target? BYU's Jimmer Fredette.

Up or Down
There is zero chance utah takes Jimmer 3rd overall, correct?
Or does this say they are interested in moving down to just below Utah?
Utah also has the 12th pick
That’s the spot they are most likely talking about.

yeah if they took freddette 3rd
then we would forsure get knight or walker so that woulda be pretttty sick as well

i’m starting to get on the Klay Thompson train. I like what Fredette brings, but Thompson has good size, a good shot and may be able to develop into a more rounded mullti-dimentional NBA player. He also seems less ball dominate and with Reke, Cousins, and Thornton, that may be a good fit for our squad. in the end in GP we trust..
I can understand the rationale
Same great shooting and less play-making than Jimmer, but in a 6’6’’ body.
Add me into this group who has interest.
Esp if we can trade the 7 for a 10-12.
I would like to thank all of you for the outpouring of support during my time of need. I proudly, and with great relief, announce that my C is now working on my laptop and any errors from now on are due to my inabilty to proofread. I use to proofread my stuff, but it began lowering my self esteem,
I have found it hard to sound intelligent if I think while I key. So in summary ; the worse the keying the smarter my comment. The proceeds from the HereWeFixTheC car wash have been forwarded to HereWeBuild . Thanks.

From Hoopsworld
The Sacramento Kings are split on whether or not they should draft Jimmer Fredette with the seventh overall pick. Ownership wants the team to select Fredette because they feel he’s the big name who can generate interest and sell tickets, which is crucial for Sacramento at this point. However, the Kings’ coaching staff doesn’t feel that Fredette is the answer and have even made their case against drafting Fredette by breaking down his game film and presenting evidence to show why his transition to the NBA is expected to be a difficult one. At the end of the day, it sounds like the coaches will win out in Sacramento, which means the Kings will likely draft a small forward on Thursday.

Wow
It’s so nice of the Kings to tell Hoopsworld everything that’s going on in the war room.
Not ripping you sac_faithful, just the idea that anyone really has this much info on the Kings draft choice. Jerry sure didn’t sound this way in his interview.

My bet is that this is about the same level of conjecture that any of us have in the threads each day. That is, I doubt that this paragraph is the result of any conversation that anyone from Hoopsworld had with anyone from the Kings organization.

So you're saying Petrie tells everyone on STR his deepest, darkest secrets too
I’m beginning to feel like I’m the only one who isn’t an insider.
That's not what I said at all
What I said is that the Hoopsworld fellow that posted this knows no more than you or me when it comes to what the Kings are planning to do.

For all the confident talk by his agent, it appears Enes Kanter is slowly dropping out of the top five of NBA draft. Poor workouts maybe?

damn it
was kind of hoping Jonas at least slipped to us so we could at least pick him if we want to. This does not necessarily help.
by wallywagon11 on Jun 20, 2011 10:14 AM PDT up reply actions
ah man, Kanter would be a score at 7
He’s the 2nd player I’d take behind Derrick Williams.
based on his game
he’s big, strong and polished… and young… he’s a very good rebounder, he has a bunch of offensive moves, he’s skilled in the paint, can shoot consistently, is a true center… he also facilitates nicely but has a scoring mentality… Kanter has the potential to be an all-star center, I don’t know what else you need from a prospect… especially in this draft… if it weren’t for his knee I don’t know why he wouldn’t be the 1st pick actually…
Would be a nice cover pick
in case Sammy didn’t resign, or we had to do a S&T with Sammy.

yes...
Kanter/Cousins could be Divac/Webber 2.0…
I'll believe it when I see it.

i wouldn't mind trading the pick for indiana's pick
pick up tyler honeycutt and sign tayshaun prince from FA. i think our team will be pretty solid with that
I'm not feeling Prince after what went down In Detroit last season.
But maybe it was just an isolated thing- he hasn’t had to many problem in his career.

But what would we get back?
Indiana is not trading Granger, Hibbert, George or Collison to move up ~8 spots.
If the Knicks trade up to 9th
It virtually guarantees we draft Fredette at 7. Ugh.

If everyone thinks the Jazz will draft Knight at 3
Then why do they think the Jazz would draft Jimmer at 12? Wouldn’t the Jazz want someone like Burks, Thompson or Selby at 12 to add a little more size to their backcourt?
And is it really clear that Knight will be a better pro than Jimmer? If the Jazz really wanted Jimmer they could take him at 3 and still get another solid guard at 12.
SB Nation's latest mock draft has the Jazz taking Kanter at #3,
and the “live” mock has them taking Derrick Williams.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Okay maybe not everyone
But everyone does seem to think that the Jazz are in need of a PG, and if they don’t think Knight, Walker or Jimmer will be available at 12, it would seem likely that they would take a PG at 3
At #3 the Jazz need to draft the best player available
If Derrick Williams falls to them, they can use him at SF. If they think that Kanter or Valanciunas is the answer, then they slide that guy in with Jefferson and Millsap. They have Devin Harris, so while they could improve themselves at the PG, it’s not like they have no PG at the moment.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Derrick Williams is definitely someone they can't pass on
But I doubt he falls to 3. It would seem the Wolves would get more value trading the pick than keeping it and selecting Kanter, unless Kanter is better than I personally think he is. Rubio + Kanter brings a lot of unknowns. I agree that the Jazz should draft BPA. Okur is on the final year of his contract so i could see them getting a big, but I think they would still have a little too much redundancy in their frontcourt and would have to make a trade. From my standpoint, that is, with relatively little knowledge of Kanter/Valanciunas/Vesely, it seems you cant go wrong by picking up a PG at 3 and a SG at 12. It fills two needs and they potentially have their starting backcourt of the future.
Great take
The key is how good is Kanter (or Valanciunas, for that matter), and that is the great unknown.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
I think that the Pups selecting Kanter over Derrick Williams is so Kahn that is makes me twitch with glee
c’mon wouldn’t that take make you chuckle and groan at the same time?

But but but...
Michael Beasley averaged 24-12 in college! Why would they need D-Williams??!1?

No way they're passing on Williams.
They need wings.. but O’Connor is likely to go with BPA (which is probably Kanter)
I think we should just trade the pick and move down a few spots
I would not mind picking up Klay but with the 7th pick? Maybe…..He would be great next to Reke! Our backcourt would have, MT23/Reke with Beno/Klay off the bench….but eventually i would love to see Reke/Klay together….that is a very tall, backcourt and with Reke maybe growing as a player seeing that Passing to Klay who can shoot well might help out the team…..
