ClutchFans 2011 NBA Draft Thread (6/23/2011) - #14. Marcus Morris

Arrested Development voice: Her?

 

Didnt know Kanter was from Turkey...seems like jazz only draft white guys or guys from Turkey.

 

Draft tradition: Minnesota adds to a bunch of guys that play the same position and Utah gets a goofy looking foreign center.

 

should get mentored by mehmet okur

 

rockets going 14 and 23 and then going home. end of story.

 

Not as white as they wanted, but close enough Utah. Freddetta will be there for ya!

 

I think Utah takes Jimme Fredette if no one takes him by 13.

I can't help but hate Utah more for taking him.

Isn't Okur from Turkey?

"Could" being the operative word there. How many times have we heard that we "could" acquire pick X or that we have "could" sign FA Y? Same old song and dance.

Obviously hope Morey proves me wrong and reinvigorates the fanbase.

 

utah has:

jefferson-kanter
milsapp-okur-favors

something's gotta give. right?

 

next pau gasol

 

Utah pick Kanter...

Spoiler

 

Stu Scott with the screwup. "Darko Milic went number 3.....overall."

 

Of course, they skipped Kemba and Knight, both will be gone by 12th so Jimmy is their pick.

 

does knight last til utah's second pick

 

amazing how that happens, huh

Rocket River
*grin*
