My explanation will be a bit long, but here we go:
I think we see the Jazz move up not once, but TWICE. Every single thing I’ve read about the 2024 draft is how awful it’s going to be. Couple that with the fact that next year, we probably won’t have a 1st rounder as it’s pretty unlikely IMO that Utah finishes in the bottom 10 of the standings.
Trader Danny see’s this as an opportunity to make some hay in the ‘23 draft by parting with some of our bountiful supply of assets. The Jazz move up to ensure they get Walker with their 1st pick, and even though this is a thread solely about who they select first, I’ll bring my prediction full circle and guess that after selecting Walker, they move up in the 10-13 range to select Bufkin.
I see that scenario as a grand slam and would go to sleep on Thursday night a very happy boy.
