Following 2016 potential draftees

By trading who?
Jazz have their own pick, GS' and a lottery-protected pick from OKC. IF Durant leaves MAYBE OKC falls to 7th/8th (we hope). So let's say Utah and OKC are both 4th-6th seeds. GS will be 1-2. Picks in the range of 18, 22 and 30. That MIGHT get Utah to 12th or so, I just don't see many teams willing to give up a top-10 pick for late 1st's. DL got extra assets, but not very good ones. Certainly not the caliber of what Boston has in their war chest.

I wouldn't mind trading all our picks this year for picks in 2017. For example I'd take #23 in 2017 over #15 this year.

All teams are going to want lottery protection on picks, especially if we're giving them a pick out of the lottery. GM's aren't dumb; they know the 2017 draft is supposed to be strong.

More likely, I think, is Burke and our 1st round pick for a veteran.

USA Today just released their cbb All-American teams.

Tyler Ulis - 1st team
Jamal Murray - 2nd team
Ben Simmons - 3rd team

^my agenda? Simmons has shown he's a self-absorbed ***. Not going to class, doesn't carry the required 2.0 GPA to qualify for the Wooden award, and sour grapes bad-mouthing Tyler Ulis, to reporters, after a blowout loss.

I blame Simmons GPA problem on the language barrier.
 
Put me on the denzel Valentine wagon also. 1st benifit is he comes frome one of the greatest basketball coaches and mind in the ncaa. So you know he will know how to play the game.

2nd he could play with and or back up exum.

3rd he is a decent shooter.

4th he seems to be very vocal. That is something the jazz desperately need.
 
Ben Simmons is overrated. I would take Brandon Ingram and would consider Jaylen Brown over him. Just don't get a good feeling, he seems more like a Harrison Barnes to me rather than an Andrew Wiggins type of prospect. Buddy Hield is a bad *** and is my favorite player in this draft. Should be a top-10 pick and I think they will go deep in the tournament. You need a great player to rely on who can carry your team.
