I don't know if we will be picking high enough in the draft because I think it is is possible Vonleh could go as high as 4th in the draft. I think he would also be the youngest player in the draft.

I'm a big fan of his, but I don't see him jumping past Exum, Smart or Randle. I guess it's a matter of fit at that point though. I have him rated 7th and the most likely pick for the Jazz with their first selection. Favors/Gobert at the 5 with Kanter/Vonleh at the 4. Plus Marvin (if he comes back) as a stretch 4. That's a really solid front line.

I definitely see him over Smart. Where do you have Smart rated?
 
Yep that's about it.
1. Andrew Wiggins, 2. Jabari Parker, 3. Joel Embiid, 4. Julius Randle, 5. Dante Exum, 6. Gary Harris, 7. Noah Vonleh, 8. Aaron Gordon, 9. Marcus Smart - not how they'll get picked, but my early BPA list. I'll revise after March Madness. I like to see how guys do on a big stage and if they can stay healthy for the whole year.
 
I like Noah. He's a guy whose stock could go up a few spots in workouts. Not sure if he'll be an All Star, but seems like a solid player across the board.

Yep. Tough to say if he's a future all-star. It all depends on how hard he works. He certainly has adequate physical tools to be an all star.
 
Agreed. I think that he's a great consolation prize if they don't get a top 3 pick.

I've adjusted my second tier to include Exum, Randle, Vonleh, Harris, Smart and Gordon. After that, I'm not nearly as sold on the guys left available.

If the Jazz can't tank into the top 3 and don't hit the lottery jackpot, I'm hoping that they land either Randle or Vonley. I want the Jazz to commit to Kanter as the 4 and I'd like a better option off the bench than Marvin.
 
Vonleh will get drafted before Randle. He is almost a year younger than Randle and has better size.

ONLY on this board would there be so much hate for smart. 9th? You guys are out of your minds.

hes 6/7th at best... Annoyingly where the jazz will probably end up picking. We shouldve taken Giannis and taken smart this year lol. (although we would prob be picking at 2-3 if that was the case)
 
Smart is having a diffiult time scoring. The last thing we need is someone who can't score. I would rather have LaVine than Smart.

I really want to like him, but I'm just not enamored with the guy. Wish I was, but when I watch him I just feel like he's missing that IT factor that I see in Vonleh, Randle, Harris and Gordon.

If I acknowledge that Embiid, Wiggins, Parker and Exum are the top 4 prospects this year, then I think you have to fit him in that 2nd tier of players. Out of those 5 guys, he's the last guy on my list. Simple as that.

Like I said, I'll re-evaluate my rankings after the season and tournament. Then again after the combine, workouts and interviews. It's a fluid process. If he's the best guy on the board, I still want the Jazz to take him. In the top 10, you don't reach for positional value. Just take the best player and stack your bench.

We have a Gary Harris... his name is Alec Burks.

I've come around on Burks big time over the course of this season. In the top 10, I personally think that you should almost always draft the best player available. Hopefully it fills a need, but that shouldn't be a deciding factor. Play them off the bench if you have to and build up your depth. Competition and good coaching can usually determine who should play and how to use them effectively.
