    In this year's draft? I think he would go after Anthony Davis ... after that, it's a toss-up.

    He's in a class above the Drummond, Barnes, Sullinger tier.

    In the mix with MKG, Robinson & Beal ... likely ahead of all of them, based on team need.

    As for the 2011 draft? Who now would dream of taking Kanter ahead of him? Tristan Thomspon? Even Derrick Williams? ... #2 pick for sure last year ... lucky us!

    Love the quote from Colangelo, talking about adding a piece in this stacked draft ... saying, we already have the 2nd best player in the draft ohhh yeah. Might as well get the best, and 2nd best ... Twin towers, like never before.
    Love your optimism!

      Kanter isn't so bad, Utah just have too many bigs and he doesn't have enough time on court

        You know what they say, you're only as good as your last game. And with that said, Davis having a pretty bad offensive performance during the NCAA championship plus JV's numerous accolades in the past year, I wont be surprised if JV went #1 this year. Most likely he'll go #2 just because he plays in Europe but Davis will definitely not be a consensus #1 if JV was in this year's draft.

          Meh, whether he's considered the best prospect, or the 2nd best prospect can never be settled (since David Stern isn't re-doing the draft). Let's just be thankful Cleveland made a dumb move in picking Thompson.

            The scouts are unanimous in saying he'd be a lock at number 2 if he was in this year's draft. I mean he's already been declared the best pro player outside of the NBA.
            Who are the top 3 pro players outside of the NBA? Is Marbury one of them?

                Kirilenko and Kristic would probably be in the conversation.

                  San Antonio was willing to trade Tony Parker and George Hill to get the rights to draft Jonas last year.
                  They likely see him as the next in line after David Robinson and Duncan as the their franchise center for the next decade.
                  It's a good thing that never panned out.

                    Tristan Thompson's been surprisingly good. Definitely a future great player. I wouldn't know him.

                      unfortunately. I'd have to disagree JV can't, wont dominate games defensively the way "eyebrows" can. I mean here's food for thought if you had to choose between drafting Dwight Howard or Marc Gasol, which one would you choose? To me its a no-brainer.

                          But Jonas is a great POST defender, Anthony Davis is a great HELP defender. Jonas CAN and HAS dominated games defensively like Anthony Davis has. Just not as much as Anthony Davis.

                          Will they both DOMINATE games defensively in the NBA right of the gate? I don't believe so. Will they have IMPACT defensively in games in the NBA? No question they will.

                          In my opinion if the two were to be chosen from #1 or #2. Anthony Davis by far would be number 1 just because of his great offensive skill. Which Jonas is fairly raw in.

                                i would say davis is number 1 because of his uniqueness and the massive increase in size that is body hasn't caughten up to and his ceiling being other worldly then his offensive game which is still raw. he is developing it quickly but he isn't a great offensive player yet.
