    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Ordinarily, I would take information like the Jazz's falling two valuable positions in the NBA draft after the recent lottery and declare it a sure sign of the franchise's imminent collapse.
    When my high school English teacher described me as her "little prophet of doom," I committed myself to living up to that label, whatever it took.
    But after briefly lamenting the missed opportunity to merely walk across the street to follow Utah center Andrew Bogut's NBA development, I'm embracing the No. 6 pick and pronouncing the Jazz curable, over time.
    The Jazz should stay where they are, draft North Carolina point guard Raymond Felton and grow with him.
    Forget about trading up in the draft. Consider moving down, if Felton is likely to remain available. And give the basketball to this guy for the next 10 or 12 years. </div>

    I love Felton the most out of all the PG prospects because of his playmaking ability. He can pass, Break the pressure by himself, and drive and dish the ball to Giricek, Bell, even Kirilenko, making the half court offense even better. He can also score when needed.

    If the top four picks go Bogut, Williams, Green, Paul.........or Paul, Green..........Felton won't get by Charlotte at #5.

    If it was me, which it isn't, I'd take what I could get, trade down to the mid first round past Jack, and target Roko Ukic.

    After it's all shaken out, there's going to be more than one team sorry they missed on this guy...........
