Draft Prediction Poll

[Stifle Tower]

OK, not on specific players. Simply on whether the Jazz will move up, down, out, buy extra picks, etc.

I'm making this a multiple choice poll, but obviously in some sections only make one choice (e.g. don't select both "keep" and "trade up" with their #5).

Ultimately, I think the Jazz stay at #5. Cleveland probably does the Orlando deal and takes Exum to pair with Irving (Waiters will be traded later). Then, I think the Jazz trade the #23 and #35 to move up into the teens. Finally, I see Lindsey buying some 2nd's (probably from Philly) for "draft and stash" prospects.

Stay at 5 and draft Air Gordon, trade up in the teens to draft Clint Capela.

A. Jazz stay at 5. (I'm hoping for Aaron Gordon).
B. Jazz maneuver and trade up from 23. How they get there, I don't know, but I think they will. Somewhere in the teens. (I'm hoping for any of Zach LaVine, Dario Saric, Doug McDermott, Gary Harris, Adrien Payne or Elfrid Payton (he reminds me of Beverley.)
C. Totally agree with buying a couple of draft and stash prospects. DL has invested in the overseas scouting process, so I can totally see this happening. Of course, I want Tomic to come over this year, so I set the amount allowed to help pay for the buyout aside.

Give me Gordon plus one of those other guys mentioned as well as the Core5, Gobert, Neto and hopefully Tomic, and I'll be pretty happy with the group that Quin Snyder starts out with.

Just thought of a different scenario that I didn't include due to limited space: Jazz could swap any of their picks for a pick in a future draft. That could come into play for the #23 or #35.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I think that the Jazz will be really aggressive in this draft. Can see them moving up and buying or trading for multiple picks at some point.

No option for selling the #5 to keep the franchise in Utah.

Maple Jordan.

Crazy to me to think we'd trade Favors, Burks and the #5 for the #1 when we can possibly nab Joel Embiid at #5 and keep Favors and Burks.

Jazz will grab one of these players for sure

Wiggins
Parker
Embiid
Gordon


They might make a trade up to get one of these players

Stauskas
McDermott
Warren
Hood

That's also my ideal situation. I want one from each group
