"Most of the Utah Jazz fans who were in attendance Thursday evening got their wish in the 2011 NBA Draft.

But all those Jimmer fans sure didn't.

Much to the approval of a large, vocal crowd at EnergySolutions Arena, Utah selected fan favorite Enes Kanter, a 6-foot-11, 260-pound center from Turkey, with the third pick in Thursday night's annual draft.

But after Jimmer Fredette, the former BYU star turned national phenomenon, was taken with the 10th pick by Milwaukee, which sent the Cougars' favorite son and folk hero to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team, draft-day deal, the Jazz took ex-Colorado shooting guard Alec Burks with the 12th pick.

Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor seemed pretty pleased with Utah's two first-round picks, who are both still teenagers.

"I like the fact that we got some size and I like the fact that I think both kids can get better," O'Connor said. "There's a ceiling that's pretty high for both kids, and that's a fact that we like.

"We drafted two 19-year-olds. I think the key thing is we've added a couple more pieces that can mesh with what we've got...We always think it's a success, but we're going to find out.

"We think we got two character guys, especially Kanter, that have a high motor and are willing to work," he said. "Both of them improved a great deal over the course of their last couple of years.""
