How well can you predict the Jazz’s big board?
We’ll never know for sure what that big board looks like, but (assuming the Jazz stay in the draft with multiple picks), we can at least see how we do based on who the Jazz end up picking.
So here’s the contest for JF bragging rights: share your guess for what you think the Jazz’s 1-45 big board looks like (too much of a crap shoot after that), and I’ll keep track of responses and calculate the winner after the draft.
(For those who care about the methodology: for each pick the Jazz make, your score will be calculated by the distance to that player’s name on your big board after all the previously picked players have been taken out of consideration. Your scores for all the Jazz picks up to #45 in the draft will be added together. I’m not including pick 55 in the contest. Lowest total score wins.
So for example, if the Jazz pick Jawun Evans at 24 and he is the 4th top remaining player on your big board after all the previously drafted players have been eliminated from consideration, your score for that pick will be 3 (from 4-1).
For the sake of simplicity/manageability, if the Jazz pick a player who is not on your big board, the score will be calculated as if that player had been number 46 on your original big board.
This methodology will work if the Jazz end up swapping picks somewhere within the top 45. The only problem for this contest will come if the Jazz trade out of picks in the top 45.)
