Largely due to Corbin tbh.

True, our schemes suck, but drafting more players like Burke who are severely defensively limited won't bode well for us.

I love randle and stauskas offensively, but they both project as horrible NBA defenders because of their lateral speeds, and frankly effort on that end.

For me, the draft order at the top goes:

1) Wiggins
2) Embiid (assuming his back checks out he's a real center and a potentially dominant one at that)
3) Exum (I think he's an All Star and near-franchise player who is going to stuff the stat sheet)
3a) Parker (I think he's going to be better than Paul Pierce due to his length and rebounding. Not a franchise guy, but part of a Big Three.)
5) Randle (measurements matter, but he's the best PF in the draft)

I think the Jazz will be in business if we get a Top 5 pick. I also think the Jazz FO will have put a lot of thought into this draft--as evidenced by their tanking the season from the getgo. I think the Jazz are willing to trade one of their young players if they see a guy they really like within reach.

The next players in the draft order get a bit fuzzy for me, but I think:

6) Vonleh -- He's still learning the game, but he's got as much potential (or even more) than Favors does as a PF.

7) Aaron Gordon -- Good athlete and wildcard player, but not a guy you can design plays around, and you can't have him take too many shots away from other guys who can shoot.

8) Marcus Smart -- He's the next guy probably, but I would consider trading this pick or just reaching for a guy like Kyle Anderson or Doug McDermott. I don't think Smart really fits here, and he might be like Dion Waiters in Cleveland.

Randle is a role player in the NBA. Parker is an Allstar, and franchise changer on the right team (ie ours)

The only dispute about it is that you think he can. Pretty much nobody else does, and more importantly, nobody that matters thinks that he can.

Furthermore, we are the Jazz. We turn our SF's into PF's, not the other way around. Everyone's a PF. Trey Burke might be one too.

W/ a Randle draft and a resigning of Marvin (it will happen)' our PF rotation will be:

Favors, Kanter, Marvin, Evans, Randle.

How the hell is anyone supposed to get into rhythm and develop with that many players competing for playing time?

Jazz have 2 SF's in Evans and Marvin, but they repositioned them. Randle will play PF.
 
This would be my MONSTEROUS Lineup:


Burke
Hayward
Randle
Kanter
Favors


We will get most rebounds. Enough shooting with Burke, Hayward and Kanter. Great slashing with Randle and Hayward. Great size. Long at every position (except Burke).
