Hield has a 6'8.5" wingspan. That's almost an inch longer than Hayward's who plays the 3. If you watch him, he also plays big for his size. In short, I have no concerns about his size, and athleticism isn't the be all, end all. Steph Curry is a good example of why that's true.

If Hield is around still, or we can move up minimally to get him, I want him. Seriously, I know it's college, and if I'm being honest, maybe I'm not being objective here, but I know we really need a killer shooter, a guy who can play the game and here are Hield's numbers.

45.7% on three on 8.7 attempts per game
88.0% from the line
55.2% from 2
5.7 rebounds
2.0 assists
1.0 steals

I worry that his personality won't quit fit in here and that he'll be a me first guy, but **** it, we could maybe use some of that.

Lets say the jazz some how get hield. What would be your rotation. Do you play hiels and burks together off the bench? Do you move hood to the bench?

I'm starting to really like Korkmaz. His quick-release jumper is sweet, and his handling, passing and timing with the ball remind me of Jeff Hornacek. Elite shooter and potentially elite ball mover. This is exactly what the Jazz need in the backcourt. He also has quick feet, which should help on defense. I think he could possibly play some spot minutes at PG. I could picture him going lottery.

A 6'7" Jeff Hornacek would be a great addition to this team, especially off the bench.

He's also really young.

I'm concerned the T'wolves will get him, and it's all uphill for the Jazz from here.

I'd be more concerned if the T'Wolves get Ingram. Murray would be a good pick for them, but as far as the top guys go, I think he is the worst fit for the Wolves. Imagine if they get Bender. Bender and KAT? Jesus Christ. Really any pick they get is going to be a potentially great pick-up, just Murray is the one I fear least.

Wiggins and Murray with KAT down low is tough guard as well. Yikes.

Murray and LaVine play the same position, which the main reason I think he isn't a great fit with Minnesota (I know they can both play point, but I don't see them as being a great fit starting alongside each other). I think Dunn would be a better fit IMO as he would give them the higher tier PG skills combined with a player who can score.

Murray/LaVine/Wiggins/KAT is certainly an interesting and potentially deadly offensive group, but just seems like too many cooks in the kitchen in terms of shot attempts needed. Rubio is just so trash on the scoring end I feel they need to upgrade and Dunn would be a great potential successor. I guess they could wait and get a PG next year though when the pool is (looking to be) deeper.

I'm not sure. I think Luwawu is a straight-line driver and spot-up shooter. Yes, I think he can defend, and I think he'll be a decent player, but I don't think he gives the Jazz a new dimension. Korkmaz gives the Jazz pretty elite shooting and passing, plus the ability to switch defensively, since he's 6'7". Pretty ideal if you ask me.

Here's my thing, imagine that you have coming off bench, Kork, Hood (I'm imagining that DL is going to get a vet for QS who will end up starting) and Lyles.

That's a fun shooting/passing line up. The defense would suffer in a big way but maybe those three will just outscore people.

I'm reading about how bad Kork's defense is. Wasn't that the knock on Dante too?

I'm not trying to compare at all, I'm simply pointing out that Quin has helped every player become better in one way or another (except Burke and Burks).

It is not fair to put burks there. In QS 2 seasons he has been injured both so we are not sure what he has developed.

Korkmaz's game reminds me a little of CJ McCollum's. Crafty pull up shooter.

And what Jazz fan right now would LOVE to have McCollum on this team right now?

Kork is also much younger than what CJ was when he entered the draft.
