i really like this kid he is tall, he can pass , put pionts on the board and, he’s tall. He is a true piont guard is what makes him so great draft him and, let him hang out over in france for a few years. Let him develope and, get NBA ready and bring him over. He has a lot of up side, Jerry won’t play him much as a rookie any way so he might as well stay over and develope and bring him over so he can be and instant help as soon as he gets. here. i really like this kid he is a stud

We have to take this kid… Deron need a decent backup and he’s the one. I am french, so i saw many of his games and i follow his career since the beginning, he is great. good shooter good passer, very strong in is head, he never miss a big game. Very great Basket IQ, and he’s a natural born leader. I think he is ready to learn with Deron, he is young, but he have 3 years of pro basketball. MVP of the french league for his first year in the starting five, MVP of the french ASG. He made the final of Eurocup this year with a little french team, and was the best scorer of the final. I assure you we can take him without hesitation, even with the pick #20. He’s talented like a Rubio, and he is a hard worker, good for the team and good for Coach Sloan.

I’m going with the french dude on this the kids a stud i wish i couldhave seen this kid paly in one of his pro games but, all i have seen is high light reels of him. The kid is the totall package and, he’s got one thing you can’t teach in the league hieght. He can see over defenders and, make passes one one else can. Since he is 6′5 he could play a bit at the shooting guard postition so he doesn’t have to back up Dwill his whole career. Cause lat’s face Dwill is a stud and, there’s no way you can take that spot away from him. I really like this kid though they are predicting him to go between 22 and 33 so why not use the 20th pick and snag this kid. He has got one year left one his contract for his team so he wouldn’t come over here till next season and he can do summer trainning with us and, get his body NBA ready and, in 2010 he can come over and help out right from the get go . If the jazz don’t take this kid i’m switching teams honestly he’s that good

French Dude on June 23, 2009 said:

I agree with you tman, he can play SG. For his situation, his contract with Cholet has stop now, he’s free, andd he have contactto play in spain, for Valence if he will not be drafted. But for the summer league i don’t think he can play this year. He will be with the French national Team in August and maybe in september for European Championship

tman11 on June 23, 2009 said:

well thats good for him to i guess. But hey his contract is up draft him and get him over here then. Lets see what he can do. I know Jerry wont play him this year but I think if we draft him we just found are new back up for Dwill. Also a back up for ronny brewer. The kid can score pass he has great smarts on the court. He needs to improve on his streighth but, what rookie doesn’t? Like i said if the jazz don’t pick up this kid i might be switching teams the how good he can be

French Dude on June 24, 2009 said:

Ok tman, what do you think about that, for now, we don’t know if we can keep CBooz Memo or Millsap. Jerry will never never play small ball, so we need dissuasive meat in the paint. Millsap may be this one, or not, i don’t think there is a potential 20pt/10rbds in this draft, and who knows if paul can keep this high level during an entire season… but ok, we can try, and he will need some help, a hansbrough, a Blair, a tough and mobile guy with our pick#20. we can trade too one or two bench player like collins price or almond (sorry i don’t whose bench players still under contract with us) for a pick between 25/35 to take a guy who can play both PG and SG, like Nando, or a Patrick Mills ( by the way nando dominate him in the workout of trevise) ……… and pure science fiction CBooz and Memo for Clippers pick#1 (Dwill for BGriffin……. a dream of tittle)

I had the oportunity to go sit in and Pargos worl out for the jazz and, thats a kid that performed very well.. As far as piont guards go he is the pest prospect ive seen but, Nando from what little i know about him is well i’m gonna say the third best true piont in thats draft.. behind Rubio and maynor. As far as a big man i think you take the most talent in this years draft and, unless bliar slides down to 20 or Maynor there is no questiong who i would pick and, that’s nando. I ddon’t really think there is a 20-10 big in this draft. i would much rather get a versital piont gaurd.we got a bunch of bigs that have yet to get the opportunity to prvoe them selfs any way. To be honest i think we got two guy with the potental to put up 20-10 numbers already besides milsap and okur. With Tomic and Kosta. so why not give these guys a shot instead of shooting them down by not putting faith in them

French Dude on June 25, 2009 said:

Tomic have made a solid year, he may have more potential than i though when we draft him. for Kosta, he can score but i don’t if he really like to fight in the paint… The draft is at 2 a.m for me, i hope for good news, tomorrow, maybe a last moment trade for a higher pick….

tman11 on June 25, 2009 said:

i do disagree about Kosta i think he was an amazing defender for the time he got i got in there and got physicall and, pulled down rebounds and, played tough. I think if boozer leaves you will see him start next year instead of milsap. Milspa just isn’t a starter he can’t go all 82 games. So is Tomic coming over this season or next?

Johnathan Kendrick on June 25, 2009 said:

It looks like Tomis has at least one more year in Europe before the Jazz even bring him in for summer camp.

Kosta is a good rebounder and is active – the weak part of his defense is just pure physical strength. He can’t keep a guy off the block. Good thing is that he knows it – knows it’s a problem and has been working on getting stronger.

French Dude on June 26, 2009 said:

Sorry for my english, i forgot a word and you didn’t understand me, i didn’t say Kosta can’t fight, defend and rebound, i just don’t know if he can, but i hope that, specially after the draft, we need him in the paint

tman11 on June 26, 2009 said:

I loved our first round pick i think maynor is going to be great suton though I’m not to sure about. He did play for my favorite school and, coach ever with tom iszo but, he just didn’t put up to great of numbers last year. They must have seen some thing in practice and, work outs with him
