Utah Jazz: 2010 draft looms large

With the 2009 NBA Draft now in the books, the Jazz finally can look forward to draft day 2010.

From their seat, it's quite a pretty sight.

The Jazz own New York's first-round pick next year, and there no longer are any restrictions on the selection — even if it ends up being No. 1 overall.

And though the Knicks' recent track record suggests it could be quite high — ideally high enough to nab the NBA's greatest player ever, should the '10 draft produce such a prospect — the Jazz respectfully are trying not to get too excited too soon.

"We don't have any control over it," general manager Kevin O'Connor said. "I don't think the expectation should be that it's going to be a high lottery pick.

"We don't know what it's going to be," he added, "and until we do know — obviously, that won't be until late in the season — we'll treat it as we have: That it's an asset, and we'll wait and see where it's at."

It's possible that Utah even will have two lottery picks next season — though that would mean bad news for the Jazz.

That's because the Jazz's own 2010 selection will go to Minnesota via Philadelphia — unless Utah fails to make the playoffs, and lottery-protection on the pick kicks in.

Utah acquired the Knicks' pick from Phoenix as part of a 2004 trade that also sent Tom Gugliotta, another first-round choice used on now out-of-the-league Kirk Snyder and other considerations for Keon Clark, Ben Handlogten and luxury-tax relief for the Suns.

The 76ers acquired Utah's pick via a 2007 deal that brought Kyle Korver to Utah for Gordan Giricek.

Top draft prospects in 2010 could include point guard John Wall, who will play next season at Kentucky; future Georgia Tech power forward Derrick Favors; North Carolina power forward Ed Davis; and big man Donatas Motiejunas, a 7-footer from Lithuania.

 

the jazz will use it to get the big white guy from europe

 

This might end up badly. It is probably a guaranteed top 10 pic anyways.

 

This year that netted them Jordan Hill.

Yawn.

 

How the hell did the Suns get the Knicks' pick in the first place?

 

From the Stephon Marbury trade back in early 2004.

Nice knowing you.

maoli85, this board is almost a self-policing board at times, so everybody gets jumped from time to time. It's been that way for years. The reason we request sources is because any clown can come on here and post whatever they want and nobody knows if it's true or not. If you hear something on the radio, just post you heard it on the radio and what station next time. If you read something on the Internet, just post a link to it if possible to give that source credit and so we know your'e not bs'ing.

Anyway, the guy apologized. Let's get back on topic. The Jazz suck... continue discussion from there.

 

And all is right with the world...

 

LOL that was pretty funny. Anyway I don't think there's any need to worry.

D'Antoni is probably one of the best in extracting the offensive potential of his players, and his system causes otherwise subpar teams to overachieve in the regular season due to a number of factors. Considering Jordan hill is one of the most NBA ready players in this draft I fully expect them to make the playoffs in the Leastern conference this year. Plus, Gallinari might actually be healthy and start contributing as well.
