Spencer Dinwiddie has 2 cheap years left on his deal just had a MIP caliber year and just turned 25. I'd trade the pick for him.

One cheap year left. He’s not that great tbh... I’d rather take a flier on a guy we can have cheap for 4 years.
 
New DX mock draft:

Here's the Jazz part:
21. Utah Jazz

Anfernee Simons
IMG Academy (HS)
Age: 18.9
SG

Height: 6-foot-4 | Weight: 183

The Jazz might look for a versatile guard who can operate in different lineups without dominating the ball alongside Donovan Mitchell. Simons is one of the least NBA-ready players in the draft, but he's intriguing because of his combination of youth, explosiveness and shot-making prowess.

He's a few years away from panning out, but at this stage of the draft, there isn't much risk, and adding a prospect with his upside would be intriguing.

Starting salary: $2,056,680


52. Jazz

Kevin Hervey | SF | Age: 21.8 | Texas Arlington

I just found out today that Kelan Martin from Butler has a 7'3 wingspan. I really didnt like him before knowing that, because he seems kind of fat and not athletic enough to be a NBA 3/tough enough to be a NBA 4, but maybe he can if he's that long.

He kind of plays like it too... seems like he needs a ton of work in a strength and conditioning room. Settles a bit too much for jumpshots... I love his off the dribble creation potential, though... IMO if we draft him, he will spend the first year or two in the GLeague. I still really like him if he's serious in his work and he ends up with a good coaching staff. Depending on who falls in the draft, I wouldn't mind it if we picked him.

His measurements will definitely influence how excited/apprehensive I am on his potential. Last time he measured in I think he was 6'3 with a 6'7 wingspan. That's pretty undersized for 2-guard and nothing to really get excited about for a project player.

"Measured 6'1.5" barefoot, 6'3.5" in shoes, 181 lbs, 6'7" wingspan, and 8'2" standing reach by USA Basketball in October of 2017 ... Transferred from Edgewater to play his final year at IMG Academy ... Eligible to declare for the 2018 NBA Draft …"

From NBAdraft.com

Just not inspiring measurements for a 2-guard (and he wore 2'' shoes lol). That's basically average size for the modern PG.

I think him and Brunson are the guys I'd be least excited drafting... for opposite reasons.
 
Anyone ever hear of Rodions Kurucs? He's got a crossover, a little bit of handles, a hook shot, athleticism and looks like he has good form on his 3s. Never heard of him until today.
