Jeremy Tyler's an intriguing prospect. Given two years overseas, I gotta think he's seen and experienced some things that should make him a bit more mature than many of these prospects. He also had the best standing reach and wingspan this year I think, and according to a few GM's and scouts per Chad Ford's article, would have been a lottery pick this year had he gone the more traditional route.
By no means am I saying to draft him at #12 but let's say we can draft Kanter and in a trade with Washington get Knight at #6 as well as pick up there #18, we could then get Singleton at #12 and Tyler at #18.
We'd have hopefully picked up our pg of the future, an elite wing defender, and a potentially very strong interior presence in Tyler.
I think this is the right line of thinking, if the Jazz believe they can get a player at 6, then Washington is a good trade partner. I love getting Singleton at 12, and Tyler as well as Thompson or Brooks could be nice gets at 18. It just depends on what you see being available at 6. If Knight is going to be at 6, hell yes move down. Maybe even for Biyombo. But the Jazz would also look stupid if they moved down and Irving dropped to 3...
