ESPN Final Predictions

What sucks though is tier 1 ends after 3. And there's probably nothing on the Jazz that lets them trade up to 3 either.

I don't think that's clear at all. It presently sounds like Embiid goes #1. Assuming the other two you're referring to are Wiggins and Parker I think you're selling Randle, Smart, and Exum short.
 
I'm really excited to see what DL does at draft time. Between having the GS pick and all of our young players, it's absolutely realistic to get a top 3 pick if he decides one of those players is going to be THE guy.
 
I hate seeing the Lakers so close to us on this list. That makes me very nervous....**** the Lakers, dammit.
 
Not to mention a realistic chance to move up. That is lottery order not draft order.

Or even selling Wiggins and Parker a bit high. Embiid certainly looks the part of a franchise center. Yes, I DO believe Parker and Wiggins will be perennial all-stars, but they might not be the all-world players everyone was expecting them to be. As you said, Randle, Smart and Exum just might be close to their level. And there could be a couple more that move up. I'll be very happy if the Jazz can somehow keep in the 5-8 range. The way they've been playing lately (excluding the Minnesota game), it looks like they may slip out of the top-10.

Anywhere but the playoffs for the Lakers makes me nervous. The NBA is successful when the big market teams are successful. That means the NBA WANTS to see great teams in LA and NY. The NBA helped LA get Gasol. No, I'll go beyond that...the NBA was complicit in the backroom deal that sent Pau to LA. Rejecting the first proposal only to approve the next which included the unprecented inclusion of an assistant coach on a third team. The NBA is dirty. I wouldn't be surprised to see a top-3 number come up for a team like the Knicks or Lakers. But probably won't need to cheat for LA; they appear to be headed for a top-5 pick based on their record.
