And yeah.. Taylor and Blake aren't twins. They don't even look like brothers.
As for Amare, is he really an improvement over Boozer? Sure he's much more athletic, but I'd say he's every bit the injury risk Booz is, plus his mid-range jumper isn't as strong. Defensively he's no better (perhaps worse!).
Koufus could develop, Fez apparently has poor work ethic, and I don't see many strong 7-2 guys in the draft, unless Nevill got ripped in the offseason.
This seems like a poor draft year. Good thing we have that good pick for next year.
As for why he would be better for Jazz than Loozer, he has the tools to be a better defensive player than Kevin Garnett. If a coach could get him to play hard on the defensive end, he would be one of the best defensive players in the NBA.
This draft only brings new Jerry hatred fodder. We don't play rookies why bother drafting them?
Anybody who gets drafted here should ask CJ what kind of pillow they need for the first 3 years to ride the pine.
Our hope now is with Kevin in that he might be able to make us some trades for quality players that will match up with our system. There was talk of MAggette and Don Nelson not getting along, we had courted MAgettee 2 years ago, now seems an opportune time to go after him again, especially since Don Nelson loves Kirilenko. With Magettee, Brewer becomes expendable and we can open up some cap space.
Come on Kevin don't let us down for another season. you have plenty of trade options, with Korver, Okur and Brewer, please get us something good.
