Domantas Sabots up to #9
Dejounte Murry up to #10
Dejounte Murry up to #10
Following 2016 potential draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Toronto taking Sabonis makes some sense. They do badly need a PF. I think it would be a terrible pick though.
Sabonis, Skal and Dejounte are supposed to go before Poeltl.
Thon Maker up to #18 now too.... he's moving fast.
Milwaukee only team of these 3 who really need a center. Toronto and Orlando's biggest need is PF so I can see it happening.
LuWaWuuuuUUuuuuu dropped to #28 ... that's interesting.
He looks like he moves better and is probably more explosive.
According to DX he has 1.5 stl/40 mins... which is about 3 times what Kanter averages. His blk numbers are not great though. DX kills his defense in general. They also says he has "passing potential", something that nobody has ever said about Enes.
He's shooting 43% from 3 though. Might be e good stretchy big with good mobility.
A draft result I'd be happy with, though it's not the upside strategy (which I could also live with):
- 12. Poeltl
- Trade 2107 GS pick (or maybe our own, top-20 protected or something) and this year's #43 (plus any necessary more minor pieces) for Boston 23 & 31 or Philly 24 & 26
- Pick Valentine & Zipser
Why I'd like it:
- May solve our depth problem almost immediately -- or at least hopefully by late season/early 2017-18. Valentine, Burks, Mack, Zipser, Lyles, Poeltl have the makings of a good, balanced, flexible second unit. With a strong first unit and a competent second unit, the Jazz could move forward from a position of strength and non-desperation in future moves.
- Rookie-scale contracts are great, but only if players on them produce. Picking up three of the most NBA-ready, high-floor players in their part of the draft may maximize the benefit from the rookie contract.
-Everyone talks about how this is a role-player draft. When getting role players, it's important that the fit is right, and these guys would fill very important roles for the Jazz. Why not seek out such role players in the draft if they're available rather than through the FA market?
Why it won't happen:
- Though some current mocks have these players close enough to where I'm proposing, it's unlikely that they'll all "slide" here.
- Why would Boston or Philly make the trade? I'm not sure why either would. Boston might be the greatest possibility as it would give them a chance to extend their consolidate-multiple-first-rounders-for-a star-strategy until 2017 if that strategy doesn't work for them this year.
- Maybe the 2017 draft is too deep for us to contemplate doing this? I know it's high at the top, but at 20 or below? I don't know enough to say.
-Jazz brass probably truly don't want three rookies, even if relatively NBA-ready.

valentine will be gone before pick 24.. he is one of the guys id love for the nuggets to draft... Grab BAP guard first( Dunn,Hield, Murray) grab a Euro you could stash for a year and Valentine with round 1 picks and then either Felder or GP JR and Zimmerman in round 2. Gallo, Chandler, Faried are all going be on the trade block this year I have been told from my sources

I actually like this idea, but don't care for the execution. Jazz should build depth through free agency (preferrably from the top down) and swing for the fences with the draft picks. Based on the current DX mock, I'd be shopping Burke, Withey, the 2nd round picks, cash and the OKC pick to Philly for 24 and 26. No deal on the 2017 picks. Those still have FAR too much value to include in any trade moving forward.
Then take SG: Furkan Korkmaz, PG: Dejounte Murray and C/PF: Thon Maker. Lock them into cheap, team controlled contracts, and then have them take turns highlighting the SLC Stars. I don't want NBA ready guys - give me 3 upside guys and see where they're at 4 years from now.
