Same with the #4 overall + Varajeao for Iggy. He has 3 years and $42 million left so his contract is too high to get that kind of value in return for him.

You make it sound like Wes is a rising star.
All he looked like last year was below average/journeyman.

I have no idea who the Jazz will take as Kanter is far from a proven commodity but there isn't really a proven commodity in this draft so the smart money is on Kanter at #3.

To round out answering the question posed in the start of this thread; I wouldn't be shocked to see the Cavs go for Biyombo or Vesely so pair some athleticism with Hickson in the front court.

I agree with some others that have stated that while this appears to be a draft short on star power, that doesn't mean that some quality players won't come out of it.

Almost every mock draft I've seen has Brandon Knight going third to the Jazz. They have Jefferson, Favors and Millsap up front so don't think they take Kanter.

I think the Cavs take Kanter at 4, teams are drafting Biyombo on basically one game and the hope that he can be the next Serge Ibaka, at least Kanter is somewhat proven.

It will be interesting. Kanter wants to go to Washington and refused to interview with Utah and Toronto which hold the 3rd and 5th picks. Washington has the 6th pick. Some people have compared Williams to Beasley and if that true the Wolves alread have Beasley so a trade at 2 would make sense as Williams is considered along with Irving as the top 2 players in the draft.
