LDS and hadn't kept BYU on his public list of possible schools as long as he did? It seems to me that there are probably at least 6-12 guys of similar profile in the NBA that I don't ever think about.

So more and more it seems like Jabari probably wont be with the Bucks next year.

A team like the Nets or Kings are probably gonna throw a huge contract at him

I don’t want the Jazz to take Jabari.

I wouldn't be interested if he wants more than the contract he turned down.

The Jazz won't go after him IMO

Yes. He had a lot of hype coming out of high school. Signed by Duke.

I'm sure Duke has a lot of guys who are heavily hyped that they have signed

He was on the cover of SI in high school and was touted as the next big thing

That are top 2 picks? I remember Jahlil Okafor and plenty of other similar guys

Ok. I guess my question is more along the lines of "are we looking at this guy

gwalker

Maybe, but, there aren't really a lot of similarly situated guys. Jabari was

Probably not, but you said most. I think actual NBA game would know him.

Interest would be lower. But Duke basketball stars, who are the second pick

JuicyJam

Exactly. This argument would work for Frank Jackson but not Jabari

Yes. If you are a fan of basketball and not just BYU.

Most Jazz fans would He was a top 3 pick in a year Jazz were going to have a top

It's funny that even with Exum's injuries, I think: "Thank goodness we didn't...

You think they liked Vonleh over Gordon?

cougaman

That was the rumor, IIRC. The Jazz were really high on Vonleh.

Jabari is just not a good defender so I'd guess the Jazz are not interested

ManicBlue

He was a top-3 pick in one of the most hyped draft classes ever.
