Following potential 2013 draftees

There's no clear-cut #1 pick this year, but if you're in the market for a PG, Smart has to be your guy. I was sold on him before today, but that sealed the deal. Talk about a floor general and a winner. The guy does absolutely everything you could ask for.

If I'm the Jazz, I'm looking to package our picks with something else for a top 10 pick in 2014. If there are no takers for that, then I'd try to package our picks for Smart.
 
Ryan Harrow fouled out today with 0pts, 0rbs, 0asts, 0stls.. I feel bad that the other players have no lead guard.
 
Maybe the best thing to do is to play out this year, get a decent draft pick, let the FAs walk, start the full-on youth movement and have our own Top-12 draft pick next year.

Like PKM said, draft whichever PG we can--Kabongo, BJ Young, etc., get another rotation player, and think of next year as the draft to get one more elite piece.

Then we'd have (Kagongo), Burks, Hayward (maybe Otto Porter), Favors, Kanter. That would give us a good player at every position, and we could add either a PG or a wing in the '14 draft depending on who's BPA.

Most rational and likely post of this century.
 
Wow. I had really high hopes for Harrow this season, too. Kentucky is broken.

I think it's likely we stand pat or move up to the 8-12 range for a PG we fall in love with (I'm partial to CJ McCollum). I'm hoping we draft McCollum, re-sign Sap, Foye, and Mo, and let Jefferson walk.

I would really like our squad:

PG - Mo Williams/CJ McCollum
SG - Burks/Hayward/Foye
SF - Hayward/Marvin Williams
PF - Millsap/Favors/Marvin Williams
C - Favors/Kanter/(4th Big)

Just let the young guys grow. Give CJ two years to show he's our franchise point guard.

I don't dislike this, but I don't think we let all the FA's walk. It's not the organization's way to be noncompetitive for a season. The only player I firmly don't want to re-sign is Jefferson. I would favor re-signing some combination of Millsap, Mo Williams, and Foye. Even with Millsap back, you can find 32-36 mpg for Favors and 28-32 for Kanter. And it's a lot to ask to turn over the PG reins to a rookie PG not named Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, etc. I'd prefer our PG draft pick (assuming we pick one) to play behind a solid veteran for a year or two.

I agree, I don't care if everyone comes back on a small term contract except Jefferson.

I still believe this team would be better without him. Addition by subtraction.
