Damian Lillard - Our best PG hope

Our best PG hope

Well, he's somebody's best PG hope, just not necessarily OURS! It continually amazes me that you guys pick out a player and assume that the Jazz can have him if they want him. This is just mental masturbation. Might be nice if it comes true but is unlikely to actually HAPPEN.

Assuming the Jazz get the GS pick, Portland is set to pick before them, likely at 6 or 7 (Jazz will most likely be 8). If Portland is sitting at 7, there is a good chance they pick Lillard. If they are at 6, there is a much greater chance someone else drops that they like. 3 scenarios where he could drop to the Jazz in my mind (all of which include Jazz getting the GS pick). 1. Beal drops 2. Barnes drops (although they might still take Lillard). 3. NJ gets into the lottery (this might be what we need to even get the GS pick).

If Portland picks Lillard that early we will probably be forced to take Marshall at 8. I have a hunch New Orleans may take Marshall with their 2nd pick, which will be before our 2nd pick.

Agree. And I wouldn't hate that. Hope we have an option (pick).
 
If Harrison Barnes dropped to us at 8, would the Jazz take him or lillard? If lillard was taken and it was between Marshall and Barnes?

Some of us enjoy speculating about the future. What's wrong with masturbation?

I'd take Barnes. I think most would disagree, though. I feel we need a 3pt shooting SF more than we need a PG, by a small margin.

Well if Utah ends up with both I would be ok with taking a 3 pt shooting SF with the GSW pick because we could address the PG with that latter pick 9hopefully).
 
Leaning Lillard again. If Millsap's going to play the 3, shooting/floor-spreading becomes even more important. I'd also say that Lillard has as good a chance at being a good playmaker/passer as Marshall has at becoming a good shooter. That's not considering that Lillard is almost certain to be the better defender.

However, I think Marshall's passing impact is more certain than Lillard's shooting/scoring.

I don't know.
