Flash back to June 23rd, 2011. It was the night of the NBA Draft, and the clock was ticking. The Jazz were on the clock with the 12th pick. Having selected the raw Enes Kanter with third pick, the onus was on the Jazz to select a guard to possibly help fill the Deron Williams shaped-hole in the collective hearts of Jazz Nation. This year’s draft had been full of surprises, with many perceived reaches in the first few picks (Tristan Thompson, Jan Vesely). But with rumored Jazz targets Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, hometown favorite Jimmer Fredette, and sharpshooter Klay Thompson selected in that order right before the 12th pick, pickings were slim in the guard department.
