48. The Utah Jazz will be awarded the No. 1 overall selection in the 2014 NBA Draft. Welcome to Utah, Andrew Wiggins!
And 1 before that:
47. The Philadelphia 76ers will have a ton of ping pong balls in this spring’s lottery, but they will not earn the top overall selection.

Moral of the story: youth development yay - selling all your productive players and tank str8 up nay
 
Wiggins would immediately make the Jazz a household name from coast to coast and we can expect lots of noobs to the board.
 
So if Utah in 2014 hss a line up of:

Favors/Gobert
Kanter/Evans
Hayward/Rush
Wiggins/Burks
Burke/Neto

What free agents would you want to go after? Jazz would need at least 3 players to meet league minimum roster.
 
I dunno, I hope I'm wrong but the NBA conspiracist in my believes there's too much money around Wiggins for the NBA to allow him to come here.

Does that mean you think they'd want a Mormon boy (Jabari) in Utah, then?

Depends on what we see through this year of evaluation. We also have the GSW pick.

It appears the greatest potential for need in that line up would be PG or another PF.

That's easy - RONDO.

Jazz have two picks so they would have another player on that roster.

We would definitely need another pg, wing and big. Evans isn't good enough and two pg's in usher first two years isn't good enough. Also, depth at the wing. Shooter/defender.

Not sure I agree we need another wing. Hayward, Rush, and Wiggins can all play either SG or SF. That gives you depth to four at SG and depth to three at SF.

Like it..... jimmer ftw
 
Austin is interesting in that lineup. I'm ignoring the Jimmer thing because it's fine if he's filler.
