gave you guys a B

Analysis: GM Kevin O'Connor agonized over whom to take at No. 9. Utah's target had been Greg Monroe, but the Pistons took him at No. 7, leaving the Jazz to decide between a group of players they felt were pretty even.

In the end, Hayward won out. The Jazz needed a wing since Kyle Korver is hitting the free-agent market, and they believed that of all the players left on the board, Hayward has the most upside. His versatility, basketball IQ and defensive ability convinced O'Connor that he can be a star, though to reach his full potential, Hayward will have to rediscover the shooting stroke he had as a college freshman. If he does, he could be special.

As for Evans, his playing weight in college was 190 pounds, which is very slight for a power forward. He's put on weight in recent weeks while training with Tim Grover, but even this far down in the draft, he seems like a stretch.

Thanks val seems like the kid has a lot of support so I hope he surprises me and the rest of the Utah fans.

white guy+jazz=success


Seriously though i think he is gonna be a good player especially playing with the best PG in the league

I hope so we need do something special this year or else Deron will opt out next summer.

Not a huge Simmons guy, but this made me laugh...

"So Chicago traded No. 17 to Washington with Kirk Hinrich in return for the cap space to pursue LeBron and Bosh. This was funny because just four months ago the Knicks traded Jordan Hill (last year's No. 8 pick) and their 2012 No. 1, and agreed to swap No. 1s with Houston in 2011 so the Rockets would take Jared Jeffries off their hands (who makes less money than Hinrich, by the way) so they could also pursue LeBron and Bosh. Might be time to take Donnie Walsh to the GM vet and put him down."

Yeah, the Knicks blind pursuit of LeBron has just about reached pathetic level. It'll be interesting to see if the morale of Knicks fans can possibly get any lower when LeBron doesn't sign there.

The kings are gonna pwn all you noobs next year.

Hey we'll see you guys in the playoffs. I think the 8th seed is do-able.

Did the T'Wolves have a good draft?

We need better perimeter shooting, if that's by free agency, our players maturing and becoming more consistent, or having to wait till next draft, we'll see. If we can get it with the 1st 2, it's possible we sneak into the playoffs, still unlikely. If we don't upgrade our perimeter shooting though, we have no chance at all

Because of Benoit Benjamin part 2? I don't think so.
