Let's pretend that the trade for Conley didn't happen for just a second. The draft up through the #22 pick plays out exactly the same way. Who do you think the Jazz select at 23?

Okpala, Paschall, or Keldon Johnson. I bet they don't take Nas Little.

I think the Jazz would've drafted Keldon Johnson. They're pretty the carbon copy of the Spurs when it comes to how to run an organization and players since DL came from there too.
 
The Suns were pure hilarity on draft night.

They trade TJ Warren who is a 25 year old averaging 19 and 18 points per game on high efficiency the previous two seasons AND the #32 pick in a salary dump for nothing but cap space. The dude was on a bargain deal. He's only making 10.8 mill next year. He was a POSITIVE trade asset not a player that needed to be dumped.

Oh but it gets worse (or better if you're looking for amusement).

They trade #6 for #11 and Dario Saric. They massively reach for Cam Johnson at 11. And Saric adds 3.4 million back to the books.

Then they trade their 2020 Milwaukee 1st to acquire Aaron Baynes and #24. Baynes adds 5.5 million back to the books effectively ruining the idea of why they dumped Warren in the first place. At 24 they reach for Ty Jerome.

So in total...They gave up an asset and a player with positive trade value just to save 1 or 2 mill, instead of gaining an asset for him. In his place are two lesser players. And they reached for both of their picks.

YIKES. Thank God I wasn't born a Suns fan. Thanks for the laughs tho Phoenix.

I liked they players they drafted, but like you said they could have gotten them both later.
 
I think the Jazz really like Claxton, and they also liked Keldon Johnson, who was still on the board. However, I'd be curious to know if the Jazz would have taken Nas Little. Kabengele and Windler were probably both on their shortlist too.
