1. Simmons
2. Ingram
3. Poeltl
4. Hield
5. Dunn
6. Bender
7. Brown
8. Chriss

I could easily see him going behind these 8 guys.

So that puts him at #9...

Murray is Coach Cal's highest scoring freshman ever--let that sink in. He nearly broke Curry's 3 point record for a freshman. He can create for himself and others. I just don't see how he falls out of the top 10, as much as I'd love for him to slip to us.

I wasn't saying only those guys. I was simply saying those 9 could very likely go ahead of him. Then throw in about another 5-10 guys and he culd very well slip to 10 or further.

I don't see anyone going ahead of him, other than the guys you named. I'll be thrilled as **** if I'm wrong though.

This is where I'm at. If he does slip to 7 or 8 then it's time to throw whatever is needed outside the core to move up and draft him.

I don't see it happening and I don't plan on it but if it does then I'll be the one you hear screaming from Utah County telling DL to go and get him.

Yeah moving up in the lottery is going to be impossible if you don't include anything good.

Here's the catch 22. We would have to likely give up our GS 1st and our OKC 1st to move up 4-5 spots to get him imo. Is that worth it? Is it worth losing picks in killer drafts to move up to get Murray?

 

[Miggs]

If he's still on the board at 9, does Toronto take Burks to be their 3rd guard in the rotation and the 12th pick? Is that giving up too much? I lean toward yes.

I doubt any team takes our crappy future 1st round picks (those are both going to be in the late 20's most likely) for us to move up.

Give multiple first (the 12th and the OKC pick) and offer either cash or a salary dump. That should be enough.

I think that Murray is the kind of player that the NBA is going towards. He is a top 3 pick in the draft and getting him near 10 is worth giving something like that up.

It's not easy getting top 5 talent in any draft.

Admittedly, I didn't see him play once all year. I just watched some highlights. An insanely pure shooter. He'll probably suck balls on defense but he could be hidden well with Exum, Hayward, Favors and Gobert behind him imo.

I strongly agree about the direction of the league. I've said it a zilion times here. Hood, Hayward and Co. have to improve their shooting more than anything else this off-season. If they do that and we add shooters like Murray/Hield AND Qi/Maker later, we'd be on the right path to becoming not just a 50 win team but a 60 win team.

He played a major role on Team Canada LAST summer. He's got the cajones that you want for a young player. He would replace the production that you are getting off the bench with Burks.

I think he could be CJ McCollum type player for the Jazz but you'd be getting him off the bench with the likes of Lyles and one of Hood or Hayward.

I think he would certainly be worth multiple firsts even in a loaded upcoming draft. Time to pay the piper, if he's gettable (while keeping Exum, Hood, Hayward Favors, Rudy and Lyles) then do it. I think the Jazz have enough assets outside of those six players that some team would be interested.
