I can't see Toronto, Milwaukee, and Orlando all passing on him.

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.

Is he a black Kanter? Says he is a good beefy offensive PF who doesnt play defense.
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.
I like his two-way potential more than anyone else likely to be available. One thing the playoffs prove every year is that it's difficult to play guys significant minutes who are only good on one end of the court.If I had to pick right now, id probably go with Murray at 12. Unless someone else drops.
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.
Ben Simmons and Dejounte Murray shooting 3s. Walt Perrin said that Murray's shooting from 3-pt range was a big surprise in Murray's workout with the Jazz.

There is no limit other than only having a 15 man roster.I doubt D murray will still be available at 24. Beside the fact, if the Jazz draft 3 rookies this year and have at least two picks next year where are they going to put all these guys? I think there is a limit with how many guys you can have in the d-league with NBA contracts.
