PG: Isaiah Collier (29) / Keyonte George (16) --vs.-- Bub Carrington (14)
SG/SF: Ace Bailey (5) --vs.-- Tre Johnson (6)...

Washington is a young team who has been drafting side-by-side with us the past few years. That seems likely to continue.
Who are other teams likely to be in the...
One of these players will be available for the Jazz at #5. However, if the Jazz have a strong preference, they may also have an opportunity to trade up to #3 with Philadelphia and take the player of their choice.
Which player do you prefer for the Jazz among these three?
Step 1: Tank all the way to the bottom.
Step 2: Let the league hand you a top-5 pick, assume it's #5.
Step 3: Reach into your bag of assets and trade up into the top 3 or 4.
This year, the Jazz get their choice of Tre Johnson or Ace Bailey. They might not even need to trade up to #3 to get...
