I'm on the Parker bandwagon. If the Jazz do get 3 or 4 I really hope they can find a way to turn that into Parker, though Randle or Exum would be a good consolation prize.

Maybe I'm having too high of expectations or I don't know that much about his game, but I'd be really disappointed if they got Smart.

I got that. I think your forgetting Neto. 4 draft picks minus one Euro plus neto = 4 rooks.

Having a skewed value at #31 would help the Jazz combine picks and move up like you were suggesting. No way they turn 2 2nd rounders and the GSW pick into Smart or Exum though. They could try working a package of unprotected 2015 and 2017, and the GSW 2017 for another top pick this summer but doubtful that gets them close to a high enough pick.

I don't think we have good enough pieces to move up once in the top 5...it will take an all star to move that needle this year and we don't have one.
 
If the Jazz get the #1 or #2 pick, there is no way the don't pick Wiggins or Parker. Assuming that, here is our depth chart next year:

PG: Trey Burke, Free Agent/Raul Neto
SG: Gordan Hayward, Alec Burks
SF: Andrew Wiggins/Jabari Parker, Draft Pick/Free Agent
PF: Derrick Favors, Jeremy Evans
C: Enes Kanter, Rudy Gobert

What is there really left to say other than this: Man, it will be an epic tragedy if we do not get a top 3 pick...

I disagree. It will be a tragedy if we do not get a top 4 pick.

Dante Exum really excites me and I think he can be as "transcendent" as Parker.

Honestly, Wiggins has all that potential but he is missing something that Parker and Randle both have. Parker and Randle both seem like the leaders on their teams. They seem like the main actors in a Broadway play whereas Wiggins blends in and most of the time just seems like another one of the guys. He's like a supporting actor who, at one point in most Plays, has a brilliant 5 minute soliloquy that everyone looks back on and says, "wow, that was great"

He's the Shane Walsh of basketball.
Or the Benny Blanco. Steals the show.
 
The more I watch Jabari Parker play, the more I am convinced that he will be the best player in the 2014 draft class. Big question of course is, will he stay in school or go on an LDS mission after being drafted.

That mission I'd say would set his skills back wouldn't it? You can't just work hard for nothing. Being a year away from basketball will surely deteriorate your skills.
 
Jabari Parker better not be going on some dumb mission. His mission needs to be a bad *** in a Utah Jazz uniform
 
As a fan I would lament Parkers Choice to go on a mission, But as a person, I would applaud such a decision. I think its great to believe in something bigger than yourself, and though a team can be a manifestation of something bigger than yourself, the sacrifices he'd make to go on a mission would render him nothing short of a remarkable human being. he'd have my respect, if that was his choice.
