I will bet if we get 2 lottery picks, one of the picks is spent on a big (Moultrie/Sullinger/Lenard/Henson/Melo).
Everyone knows of my dislike of Jefferson, and if he is indeed moved, we bring in a big for depth but also due to Millsap's contract being up in a few years. Will we spend the money to keep him vs. having 3 young bigs?
I hope we don't but wouldn't suprise me....
With that being said, outside of Sullinger I haven't watched any of them listed above.. Anyone have feedback?

It's never a bad idea to stockpile big men.

Of those guys.. I like Leonard he is a pretty athletic big. He is actually a true center and might be nice to have his length. I think he would be a good defensive big to backup Kanter. Although, I don't know his post game. I do know that he is pretty athletic.
I feel like Henson could be Brandon Wright like.
Fab Melo I think would just be a pretty big project. Although, he looks to have a somewhat decent shot from 10-15. But, his post moves aren't good and he is not very athletic.
Moultrie is pretty good all-around on offense. His defense is not very good for someone that is as athletic as he is.
I love Sullinger I would take him as well.
I watch Moultrie a lot. He is kind of like a 6'11 Millsap. A great rebounder, but more of an offensive rebounding machine than a dominant rebounder. Has range to the 3 point line, but chooses to not shoot them unless an ideal opportunity presents itself. Is a fairly good midrange shooter, but his shot is kind of a line drive. Doesn't have a lot of post-up moves, but he operates very quickly in the post. Will be an alley-oop machine in the NBA if he is paired along side a competent PG.
Biggest complaint about him is that he can disappear at times, and that he isn't a shot blocking threat despite being 6'11 and athletic. Defensively he is nothing to write home about.
Also a hard worker who puts a lot of time into improving his game, ala Millsap.

Right now Chad Ford's mock lotto has the Jazz taking Cody Zeller from Indiana, or Brad Beal depending on how the chips fall. He's got the Jazz taking Quincy Miller with the 14th pick. I'd be great with Miller, I love MKG to death. Lots of talk here about Machado, what about Kendall Marshall, another pure point?
Does anyone know anything about Machado from a physical standpoint? As in quickness, athletic ability, length, etc.?
Have to get some work done for school so I won't be watching the 1st half, hopefully I get done by the 2nd. Y'all let me know how it goes because ESPN box scores are being lame.
