Following potential 2015 draftees

Also, if the Jazz wanted to trade their pick in this draft, I think they would have done it by now. The reason is that the Jazz's schedule is getting easier and the draft position is likely to slip. They knew that before the Jazz started beating Portland and San Antonio. They might trade the pick during the actual draft depending on how things shake out.

Don't want to trade the pick until the lottery is over. A top-3 pick is much more valuable than anything Utah could have traded for. And teams aren't going to give up as much for a protected pick. Pick will be in play once it's determined where it is. This draft is also pretty deep. I think even between 10-12 it would be viewed as a pretty good asset.
 
Regarding Portis, I'd take him over Kaminsky just about every day of the week. Much better mobility and ability to score in different situations.

I think we move up, assuming we don't land in the top 3. We have the assets to do it. Even if it is into the top 6.

Sacramento and the Knicks might be good partners to trade with. Both would value cap space we could provide and both might make win now type moves. Maybe even Philly. They said they like multiple chances... if we offered our 2015 pick, our 2016 unprotected pick, and the GSW might appeal to those guys. I would do it on our end... I like all the top 4 prospects for us other than Okafor (I think he'll be good but is a terrible fit for us).

I would say a move at draft night is very likely. Either move up to get someone we like, or a trade for reinforcing our rotation.
 
Hezonja with his quick-release jumper, explosive drives and above-the-rim finishes would sure look great on this Jazz team.

If we can't get Hezonja, Devin Booker's sweet jumper would be a great help to what we have now.

Edit: But damn, Hezonja would be perfect for us.

I agree hezonja is the perfect fit for this team
 
Did this quick calculation in the draft thread and it's likely that we might finish up with the 9th pick (at worst).

According to DX, we'd get Justise Winslow

According to Chad Ford, we'd get Myles Turner (with Stanley Johnson still on the board at #10)

There is a tense fight for the 8th seed in the East with Brooklyn, Detroit, Charlotte and Indiana all with 23 wins, all fighting for the 8th spot. Unlikely any of these teams will let off (i.e., tank).


In the West, OKC (32 wins), Phoenix (30 wins) and NO (30 wins) are all fighting for the 8th spots as well.


In conclusion: I think this means the worst we could finish in terms of the draft spot could be the 9th pick (unless a team jumps in and grab a top 3 pick).
