Can you imagine the field day jazzfanz would have if this happened to Niang? Lol
Theo Maledon has a legit chance to drop into our draft range if teams want Kira Lewis or Nico Mannion in the middle of the 1st round. Theo is still 18 years old, a 6'5" wirey PG/combo guard with a 6'9" wingspan who could play next Donovan. He's athletic, though not especially explosive off the dribble, and has a pretty compete game for a developing guard.
There are some really nice prospects outside the lottery of this draft.

Another player who could conceivably drop at least near to our draft range is Jaden McDaniels -- 6'9", 200-lbs, 6'11.5" wingspan. He has Paul George measurables, has a decent handle and body control for his size, and can shoot off the catch or off the dribble. Needs to add strength obviously, but shows potential as a two-way wing.

If other guys are off the board, Robert Woodard is likely to be available to the Jazz. He's a 6'7", 230-lb physical wing whose game looks like a slightly smaller and somewhat less explosive version of Rudy Gay. The question with him is whether you believe in his shooting. He shot 42% from 3pt this season on just over 2 attempts per game, but is only a 65% FT shooter, which hurts his 3-pt projection at the NBA level. He's a solid defender with good block and steal numbers, where his 7'1" wingspan helps him. He plays hard, runs the floor and isn't afraid to mix it up inside. He's a limited playmaker, but could develop into a tough 3D wing if he can shoot it well enough.
One question is whether he'll be appreciably better than Juwan Morgan, though Morgan is more of a 4/5 and Woodard is a 3/4.

I seriously can't believe Riller is being mocked in the 2nd round. He is 23, he lacks vertical explosion, he kind of has a fadeaway motion on his shot which he might struggle translating a little bit...so there's that. But overall he is just highly skilled. The thing I love most is his functional athleticism. He's 6'3, great strength, and I LOVE his short area burst. He uses different gears to his advantage. He changes directions extremely well. No doubt should be a top 20 pick in my eyes.
