Who should we pick at #5?

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz are in no position to reach to fill a specific need. Draft the best player on your board, period. Assuming they keep their pick next year, they’ll have 4 opportunities to address needs, plus trades. Draft the best player at every pick for now and when guys actually start developing or flaming out, then you figure out how to fill needs.

Sure, but they may decide that on-ball creation is a serious consideration in determining the best player on their board.

Like the new name bro

thanks mate I feel like it's my fault so i have to carry this stigma

He's the same size as Paul George and Trey Murphy. That's not the issue. The issue is his shot diet and lack of passing. He has a very high ceiling if he can hit it, but he's actually a bit riskier than Tre Johnson and probably also VJ Edgecombe.

I don’t like that he settles too much for the jumper.. he also needs to get much stronger, he body right now reminds me too much of Cody.

He's an inch taller and 20 lbs heavier than Cody entering the league....if you can believe it.

Here's my ranking. I'll leave out Cooper and Harper since they're not worth thinking about.
1. Ace Bailey
Of course, he could be a bust. But he's the player Utah wants to be the 'ace'.
2. VJ Edgecomb
Utah doesn't have an ace stopper anyway. VJ can fill that role, and he can be the vanguard of a counterattack and a fast break.
3. Tre Johnson
If options 1 and 2 fail, Utah will eventually have to solve the problem of 'no first option', and Tre has a high probability of doing this.
4. Kasparas Jakučionis
A handler capable of 3-points... Assuming other handler prospects can't fix their weaknesses, this guy is a decent insurance.
5. I don't think there is anything else. We already have Kessler and Filipowski, don't tell us to add another big man.

Can we trade the pick for an established player?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Can we trade the pick for an established player?

I don’t think it helps this team tbh. They need this pick to be a key guy and a top pick out of the next draft - that means tanking hard again.

They should do the opposite of that and trade away their established players if they can.

We are more likely to trade an established player for a pick.
