I think we need this guy....

Athletic at-rim finisher who thrives in the open floor. He also displays excellent awareness cutting off-ball to get open for dump-offs or lobs.
Skilled ball handler who has great passing vision. He can bring the ball up the floor off defensive rebounds.
In the half-court, he could thrive in scheme screening for a dynamic shot-making guard by setting picks and rolling to the basket.
Improved his shooting mechanics as a senior and shot the best percentage of his career from 3 and the line.
Elite defensive potential as a switchable player. He can lock down quicker guards due to his quickness and fundamentals sliding laterally, but he’s also strong enough to bother bigger wings and forwards.
Good rim protection. He excels at jumping vertically with opponents to alter their shots without fouling.
There’s small-ball center potential in him. Headsy off-ball player who understands proper angles when fighting around screens or defending the pick-and-roll.
He recognizes opponent actions to make proper rotations, and with his length and athleticism he frequently racks up blocks and steals.

"Leaner Draymond Green or Andre Roberson"

Who is this guy? Sorry for the ignorance
 
Which highly touted HS prospect is most worth taking a flyer on at #30 if they're there?

Jalen Johnson, Ziaire Williams, BJ Boston?

Herb Jones

He might be the perfect add at #30 if we truly do "run it back". He should be able to contribute immediately, and he could arguably end up being the best defender in this draft. He can rebound, finish at the rim, and is comfortable on the ball.

He's not guaranteed to develop into a 3pt threat and he's not going to have a dynamite mid-range game, but he'll be an athletic defender.
 
I wouldn't mind Herb Jones at 30 if the pick isn't traded. But then again, the Jazz can still probably get him if they get another 2nd round pick, like 31st to 45th.
