According to Chad Ford's latest big board, here are all of the players the Jazz have interest in:

Dejounte Murray, Jakob Poeltl, Skal Labissiere, Furkan Korkmaz, and Malachi Richardson.

The ceiling for Malik Beasley, Wade Baldwin, Denzel Valentine, and DeAdndre Bembry is the Jazz at #12.

Please Baldwin, please.

I don't think the Jazz are nearly as secretive/manipulative as people around here say. There were rumors that we really liked both Exum and Lyles before drafting them. There was also word before the 2013 draft that the Jazz thought there was a foreign prospect that was a major sleeper (Gobert). Peeks also received info before the 2013 draft that we were going to aggressively try to trade up and that the target was Burke.

My guess is we end up drafting one of the players Ford listed.

Yeah pretty much this. Last year he had Lyles pegged to us all throughout June. The year before he said the Jazz would take Exum at #5 if he was there (which nobody thought he would) and I even remember making a thread about it.
 
At this point I'm leaning towards Dejounte Murray or Wade Baldwin. Jakob Poeltl would be the choice for me if he is there though.

I'm liking Korkmaz more.

He's got good size and athletic ability, so he's not a lost cause on the defensive end. He can shoot it from deep (still think his shot is a bit weird though), he's hella young, and he can create (can't stress how important that is).

If we stay at 12 and no one unexpectedly falls to us, I'd take Dejounte, Malachi, or Furkan.

I think when Korkmaz fills out physically, he'll probably end up a bigger wing (SF). But he's got the shooting stroke, length and baseline-to-baseline athleticism to be an effective player. Plus, he can pass and handle a bit. I think he's a nice pick at 12.

I really think the Jazz's interest in Dejounte Murray is just noise. He's a project, and if it pays off in a few years, what have you got? His ceiling isn't all that high to me.
