Following potential 2015 draftees

[fishonjazz]

Who has more upside? Mudiay, Russell, or Exum. Who will be better next year?

Russell for both questions.

Mudiay is tough to evaluate because he plays in China (same reason exum was hard to evaluate..... playing in Australia)

Our 2015 pick + Exum for Mudiay or Russell... who says no?

I would do it for russell...... not for mudiay though

I will admit that Russell seems like he will be very good but right now the jazz will be drafting in the bottom of the lottery. there are very few teams that will trade a lotto pick. we need to focus on who we can get in the 9-12 range.

Assuming our winning ways continue throughout the 2nd half of the season, say goodbye to D'Angelo. I love him but I wouldn't be willing to trade what it would take to get from #8-12 up to #3. I like our core as is.

We're in a pretty awesome spot, actually. Projecting a starting five of Exum, Burks, Hayward, Favors, and Rudy with Burke, Ingles, Booker, Hood, Millsap and Evans off the bench, we really just need depth at the SG/SF and PF/C positions. We really can take the best guy available.

Good post. We can go whichever way the draft directs us or is handed to us. We can go with Winslow or if Willie Cauley-Stein drops to us we can take him too. Gobert-Favors-WCS would form a pretty sick wall of defense.

Russell had 28/7/2/2 vs Purdue yesterday. Shot 9-19 and 2-6 from 3

I think we have the assets to get him... I think he will be special on offense. Put him burks and Hayward on the wing... With Gobert and favors anchoring the defense. Might be a contender in a couple years.

Jumping up from #10-12 to #2? Sure we have enough assets. All we'd have to do is trade one. His name is Rudy Gobert. Perhaps Favors and our pick MIGHT be enough too. Other than that, not a chance in hell one of the top-2 picks will be traded to Utah.

Gun to your head... Gobert or Russell?

That could be a scary good team for years actually.

I'm a huge Russell fan, but it's not close. Gobert every time. Gobert is already there and getting better. As good as Russell is not a guaranteed star.

Exum, #10-12 this year, our unprotected pick next year, GSW pick, and the OKC pick... U telling me the sixers wouldn't think about it? They think less in terms of people and more in terms of assets.
