Latest Locke report says he thinks Jacob Poetl might slide down to the Jazz.....and they'd probably take him .Jazz already a tall team would have lots of size in the frontcourt......In a way not a bad move if you think the best team might not even be playing in the finals right now, in OKC who blew their opportunity with lack of team work issues.A front line of Gobert /Favors /Lyles and Poetl...wow .I still want to see more scoring(Korkmaz or DMurray) but I can sure see the top defensive team getting even tougher if Poetl falls to them .
 
I'd be good with picking Jakob. I think there are some players that will be available at #12 with more potential (D-Murray), but Poeltl will be a very solid contributor; he's a safe bet.

Our front court depth would be difficult to match up with.
 
I'm on board with Poetl. Tough for bigs to stay healthy for all 82 and we've seen Favors have back issues. I don't think Withey or Pleiss are decent backups. Draft Poetl and go after another wing via trade or free agency. Personally, I'd wouldn't mind DL trading for Gay.

A decent summer IMO would be Poetl, Gay and Teague. I'm in favor of Teague because I think Exum is going to take time to get back to 100%.
 
If we took him and he looks good to start the season, I think we would have to really think about trading Favors. 4 good bigs won't win you a title. We need wings. Lyles, Poeltl and Gobert is pretty well balanced.

Yeah, but you know what cost us to miss the playoffs last year? Gobert and Favors getting injured and not having talented backups.

It would be extremely premature to trade Favors just because a rookie big is playing well.
 
I don't really care TBH. I trust Lindsey enough that I think he'll pick the BPA. He's proven his drafting abilities.
 
I think he'll go to Toronto, Milwaukee, or Orlando tbh

I think it would be hard for Milwaukee to pass on a legit center at #10, given their need for a starter at the position. If Milwaukee wants a PG, I think they can trade down to 12 for Baldwin (:D) or pick up a PG in trade or free agency. Legit starting centers are hard to come by.
