New York • The resignations of Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson ignited the Jazz’s change. The trade of Deron Williams highlighted it. Tyrone Corbin’s promotion and the late-season ascension of rookies Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors accelerated it. But the true mark of Utah’s movement from the past to the future will be made Thursday, as the Jazz decide how to best utilize the Nos. 3 and 12 picks in the 2011 NBA Draft.
Enes Kanter or Brandon Knight? Jimmer Fredette, Alec Burks, Klay Thompson or Chris Singleton? Another unexpected blockbuster trade or a faithful adherence to a carefully planned script?
It’s decision time for Utah. The future has arrived. The most important draft in franchise history is here. As of Wednesday evening, the Jazz appeared to be leaning toward Kanter over Knight at No. 3, creating space for a possible selection of Fredette at No. 12. However, Utah general manager Kevin O’Connor acknowledged Monday that the franchise was exploring all options with open eyes.http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/jazz/52058690-87/jazz-kanter-draft-utah.html.csp
