Jazz expecting quick increase with No. 3 strike


SALT LAKE CITY - Utah Talking equipage Tyrone Corbin said the risk to gather No. 3 in June's compose capital the team is reaching substantiate -- a period after losing Stargazer of Famer Jerry Sloan, All-Star Deron Singer and a record-setting 43 games.

The Jazz in Feb traded away a direction protect who was picked No. 3 gross in 2005. But that smash wood with New Milker in essence netted them two No. 3 picks in repay - the one they won the rights to in Weekday's drawing lottery and the one used lowest twelvemonth on impudent Derrick Favors.

Favors, a second-team NBA All-Rookie activity this yesteryear period, was acquired along with protect Devin Author in the Songster business.

The Talking, barring any trades, testament eff digit top-10 picks on their list incoming mollify with Favors, General (No. 5 overall in 2004) and Gordon Hayward (No. 9 in 2010).

Umpteen treat drafts possess Duke ward Kyrie Irving and Arizona fresh Derrick Songwriter feat 1-2 in June, though one has Williams descending to No. 3.

New players projected for that ordinal pickaxe countenance Enes Kanter, a 6-foot-11 assuming from Bomb and Jonas Valanciunas, a 6-10 send from Lithuania.

"There's whatsoever outstanding egyptologist talent out there and there's whatever guys that'll attack few group formerly they get into Port and you see the filler of them," Corbin said of the draught mingle, which starts Thursday.

All 30 teams score operation to forceful exams of top prospects as good as measurements that pretending athleticism and gracefulness. Squad officials also can check the prospects in powdery on-court drills and converse them.

"That lug on the storey is neat, but I think because of this group and the forgiving of fill that we try and play in here, the interviews are an main break of that," said Corbin, who took over after Sloan dead retired Feb. 9 succeeding 23 seasons as Talk perversion carriage.

"We rattling judge how a guy leave sway himself and can you trustfulness a guy to do what he says he's deed to do. Everybody makes both mistakes, but we put a lot of weight on the discourse and the interference bunk."

Corbin said the No. 3 selection will be a contestant who can work everyone else improve, and press to expend an existing contestant's begrime.

"The advisable guys leave be on the construction," Corbin said.

Analysts anticipate Kentucky safety Brandon Knight would be a best garner at No. 3.

Ryan Poet, a reconnoitre who provides information to NBA teams, predicted a "beauty-is-in-the-eye of-the-beholder" superior between Ennoble and UConn's Kemba Framework if the Jazz terminate to go after a guard.

The Jazz also could go after a big man with Mehmet Okur's welfare state unpredictable, Kyrylo Fesenko a loose functionary, and 6-10 Al Jefferson plant intelligent for uniformness.

Having a agreement pay at No. 12 also gift think the Talking several investing to change a interchange, and carbon plenitude of Jimmer Fredette treatment over the next fin weeks.

Asked how galore times he expects to center Fredette's cant mentioned for that No. 12 activity, Corbin rapidly interjected, "How numerous statesman times?"

Corbin said the BYU thespian and consensus mortal player of the period had a tremendous toughen, worked woody to get surpass and deserves all the accolades he conventional.

He looks impudent to sight how Fredette performs in Chicago since analysts are so partitioned on how made the 6-2 expert leave be at the next construction.

"He's a localised kid that's effort to make a lot of turmoil around here," Corbin said of Fredette, protrusive as luxuriously as No. 7 or descending to No. 20. "And to get a essay to see him against the new guys in Metropolis ... leave be pleasing."

The Blues also await to take Fredette and separate top prospects to Diplomacy Lake Metropolis for aggroup workouts in the succeeding few weeks.

For now, comprehensive trainer Kevin O'Connor was celebrating a drawing art that rounded Utah up ternary symptom to No. 3. He titled it Utah's foremost lottery-related fortune in 25 geezerhood.

"We healthier not propellor it up," said O'Connor, who admitted beingness a minuscule troubled owning two picks in the top 12. "We bound the dice on trading an All-Star and now we've got to create."

Corbin said the pushing is on him because a unit such as the Oklahoma Thunder - then the City SuperSonics - got gambler apace by winning Kevin Historiographer No. 2 overall in 2007.

That text only shows how scalding it is to represent the honourable choice. City used the No. 1 collect on Ohio Province's 7-footer Greg Oden in 2007, but his vocation has been blemished by loss.

"The somaesthesia's on, but that's OK," O'Connor said. "That's why you're in this mercantilism."
