Yeah I get that, I am pretty much saying I think he is gone before 16 now but we wouldn't take him at 9. But who the f knows
Draft Haters List

I think you are probably right. I think the Jazz will take a chance on an athletic type at 9 (Walker/Black/Hendricks/Thompson/Whitmore) and try to trade back up from 16 to get either Bufkin/JHS/George/Wallace.
No idea who is the preferred target in either of those groupings, but I feel fairly confident that's the general thought process from Utah.
Maybe in that first grouping there is a very preferred target that you would forgo your selection at 16 to move up to get (Walker/Whitmore?), but I think I would be surprised if any of those guys are clearly ahead to the point where you would have them higher than another player from that group and a player from the guard group.

I’m not too keen on George, but other than that I’d be happy with any combination out of those two groups. With Black we’d double up on guards, but I’m willing to overlook that.

Assuming there’s no major surprises in the top 9, the Jazz are guaranteed one of Scoot, B. Miller, Whitmore, Walker, Black, Hendricks, Amen or Ausur.
At that point, they’re also guaranteed one of Wallace, Bufkin, Dick, Couliably, JHS, L. Miller and/or George/Hawkins/Lively/Cissoko.
Combine almost any combination of players from those two groups and it’s been a good draft.

16 and take Bertans to get 10. At 10 we take JHS. Who are you hoping fell to #9 in that scenario?
Black or Jarace

I was wondering how Black might fit. Probably not ideal, but I'm still fine with it. Walker would be great. In that scenario you can't hate Hendricks either.

I’m down with trading up from both picks tbh. Jazz have assets and a relatively strong draft to work with. Start laying the foundation now, with young guys that have high upside and hope one or both pop off and become stars to team up with Lauri and Walker. Beyond that, the Jazz have the potential to add premium players in 26, 27, 28 & 29 with little to no effort needed - or make another big trade down the line.
Ideally, I’d like to see them trade up for Whitmore or Walker and then whoever they have rated as the highest player who drops to 10.
I guess my final choice will be NSJ, since Podziemski fell in one of the best places for him so he might actually turn into a rotational player...

no question podz will be in the rotation.
