Welcome to Colton's 2016 Mock Draft Compilation, v. 1.0. 9 mock drafts used! Here are who the mock drafts are listing as the "best players". See below for details. It should give a pretty good idea of who will be available when the Jazz pick at 12, 42, 52, and 60.

1 Ben Simmons
2 Brandon Ingram
3 Jamal Murray
4 Dragan Bender
5 Marquese Chriss
6 Buddy Hield
7 Kris Dunn
8 Jaylen Brown
9 Jakob Poeltl
10 Henry Ellenson
11 Skal Labissiere
12 Deyonta Davis
13 Domantas Sabonis
14 Furkan Korkmaz
15 Wade Baldwin
16 Dejounte Murray
17 Ante Zizic
17 Malachi Richardson
17 Timothe Luwawu
20 Denzel Valentine
21 Demetrius Jackson
22 Brice Johnson
23 Ivica Zubac
24 Taurean Prince
25 Cheick Diallo
26 DeAndre Bembry
27 Malik Beasley
28 Thon Maker
29 Juan Hernangomez
30 Tyler Ulis
31 Damian Jones
32 Diamond Stone
33 Zhou Qi
34 Guerschon Yabusele
35 Patrick McCaw
36 Caris LeVert
37 Paul Zipser
38 Rade Zagorac
39 Chinanu Onuaku
40 Petr Cornelie
41 Ben Bentil
42 Isaia Cordinier
42 Stephen Zimmerman
44 Malcolm Brogdon
45 Geogios Papagiannis
46 Michael Gbinije
47 Pascal Siakam
47 Jarrod Uthoff
49 Anthony "Cat" Barber
50 Gary Payton II
51 A.J. Hammons
52 Jake Layman
52 Robert Carter
54 Isaiah Whitehead
54 Kahlil "Kay" Felder
56 Wayne Selden
57 Joel Bolomboy
58 Isaiah Cousins
59 Dorian Finney-Smith
59 James Webb
59 Georges Niang
59 Perry Ellis
59 Gracin Bakumanya
59 Marcus Paige
59 Yogi Ferrell
59 Andrey Desyatnikov



Misc observations:

1. All but one of the mocks have Simmons going #1.

2. Deyonta Davis is in the #12 slot. Other likely available players include Domantas Sabonis, Furkan Korkmaz, Wade Baldwin, and Dejounte Murray. So one of those could be the most likely for the Jazz right now.

3. There is absolutely no consensus as to who the Jazz will pick at #12. The 9 mocks have 8 different players being selected, including Henry Ellenson, Skal Labissiere, Deyonta Davis, Domantas Sabonis, Furkan Korkmaz, Wade Baldwin, Ante Zizic, and Timothe Luwawu.

4. The winners of the "who knows" awards are these players:
Marquese Chriss - mocks have him as high as 4 and as low as 11
Domantas Sabonis - as high as 8 and as low as 23
Wade Baldwin - as high as 8 and as low as 34
Dejounte Murray - also as high as 8 and as low as 34

5. There are only 16 players that ALL of the mocks have going in the first round. The remaining 14 picks of the first round seem pretty up for grabs.

Ranking details: I used the following mock drafts as "voters" for the best players. That is, I assumed they ranked the players in the order that they felt like the players deserved to be drafted. (This is an incorrect assumption, because some mock drafts account for perceived team need, but it should be close.) Then I used the "instant run-off voting" algorithm in a program I wrote to deduce who deserved to be ranked in the top spot, then in the second spot, then in the third spot, and so forth. See here for details on that algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

Interesting that both years they all had one guy going #1 except one.

Actually I had edited it part way, and that party referred to this year even though I neglected to change the name. Last year it wasn't quite this overwhelming.
 
I can see why we would draft Davis in a vacuum but he is a 4 and we already have Favors and Lyles. Maybe we are going to trade the pick.

We aren't drafting for current need... Looking for needs down the road... So if favs bolts maybe Davis is ready to take over. It would be nice if the guy we pick could get 8-10 minutes a night though to develop.
 
"All name" team:
Dragan Bender
Furkan Korkmaz
Thon Maker
Diamond Stone

honorable mention:
Yogi Ferrell
 
Love this thread.
 
So I thought the jazz were interested in "makers." Now we finally have one in the draft and we aren't going to get him? Doesn't sound legit. . .

This is crazy. Picks 8-40 are anyone's guess. Draft night could be so fun. Too bad the jazz canceled the party :(

This goes along with what I read that an NBA scout said this was a very deep draft with two elites in Simmons and Ingram and 48 good role players. I guess the trick for the Jazz is to use their picks to gobble up the other 48 as much as possible.
