I stand corrected.
I believe it's top 4 picks. ( I read an article about the merits of tanking to get a higher pick )
Duncan was drafted in '98
by the way, is anybody else as high on James Young as me ?

after watching Tony Allen who measured 6'3½ w/o shoes and 6'4¼ in them at the combine check Durant last night, i've been thinking maybe KJ McDaniels could contribute at SF right away for the Jazz.
we could use someone who contests shots on the perimeter like his job depends on it, McDaniels is that guy
Yes good post and I agree.
If we somehow got the 5th pick and the consensus top 4 are gone, that's exactly what I would do.

I was very impressed with his play during the NIT .... definitely someone that we could have spot up in the corner on offense and play very good D on the other end .... would also do very well in transition.
Only 20 days to go to the lottery.
Yay.
Yay.

The place where good recruits go to die ..... other than KD of course.

When we'll finally get an answer to the question everyone is dying to know...
Who are the Jazz sending to the drawing?
KOC has been GOLD for us before, let's see if he can do it again.

Gail should go.
ESPN NBA Draft Big Board 9.0 updated today mentions the Jazz as potential landing spots for a couple candidates.
2. Jabari Parker
Parker has his fans, too. He's widely considered the safest player in the draft and the guy who can have an instant impact on Day 1. If the Jazz, Cavs or Pistons get No. 1, I think they would lean toward Parker. The Celtics, Lakers and Kings are all possibilities to take him No. 1, as well. If he can get in great shape in workouts and prove to teams he has the lateral quickness to defend NBA 3s, he'll get even more teams on board.
8. Marcus Smart
Smart appears to be an acquired taste. Some teams love him, while others aren't sold that he does anything well enough to excel in the NBA. I think it depends on how much you value intangibles such as leadership, toughness, motor, etc. Skills-wise, Smart has some holes in his game. But put together the whole package and he's an intriguing player. I think the Magic, Jazz, Kings or Nuggets are the most likely teams to take him in the lottery.
19. Elfrid Payton
Big, athletic point guards don't come along very often, especially ones who can both see the floor and defend. Payton played at a small school and lacks a reliable jumper, but he's my sleeper to keep rising on the draft board. If he played at Duke, he'd be in the top 10. The Magic, Celtics, Raptors and Jazz are all possibilities for him.
26. Kyle Anderson
Anderson is still the toughest player in this draft to project. He could go as high as the late lottery or I could see him slipping into the late first round. It's going to depend on finding the right system and the right coach who's willing to let him handle the ball -- and willing to turn the other way when he can't guard anyone. The Raptors, Grizzlies, Jazz and Heat all could use a player like Anderson.
Jabari is obviously in play in the Jazz get a pick in the 1-4 range. Smart is in play if the Jazz fall to the 5-7 range, Payton and Anderson are in play with the GSW pick at 23.

So do I, man. For some reason, I think he'll do really well in the league if given the opportunity to play a lot of minutes. If the jazz fail to get Wiggins or Parker, then Early is a must at 23rd. As stupid as it may sound, I believe he'll be as good as Paul George someday.
