Following potential 2015 draftees

The issue to me is that they need playing time to develop. I wouldn't want to give either guy a lot of rotation minutes especially Turner. Oubre maybe?

I'd much rather have Stanley Johnson, Mario Hezonja, or Frank playing 15ish minutes with us next year.

Well yeah, me too, who wouldn't want those guys, but as it stands at the #12 position I was just pondering the possibility of taking a flyer on someone and may be that player could surprise us down the road.

I agree Oubre at 12 is worth the risk at that point. I'd rather move up 3 or 4 spots though depending on cost.

The cost would likely be high. Remember when we had to trade up to get Trey? It costed us x2 picks in the 1st round. I suspect we'll have to give up a future pick as well as this year's pick to just move up 5 spots.
 
I think we'll end up 10th or 11th. I don't think we'll end up 12th, given the remaining schedule. That said, it's still probably going to an Oubre vs. Turner vs. Looney debate unless we can move up.

If that was the cost I'd do it in a heartbeat without a second thought. You can even make next year's pick unprotected and I'd be in. We have at least 2 picks in 2017 and maybe 3 (the OKC pick). We have prospects or young players at every position. It would be worth it to me to get a guy who could contribute sooner.

I agree.
We need to use some of our mediocre assets (mid to late firsts and a while bunch of seconds) at some point.

Might as will be this year
 
Lets say the Jazz win 46 or 47 games next year. Our draft pick is likely to be #17 - #19 in a weaker draft. This is probably our last lottery pick for a while.
 
If the Jazz offered #10 plus Hood for #7, I think that's a fair deal. That team could then get Hood + a guy like Myles Turner or Kevon Looney.

We'd be dealing with Detroit or Denver. Denver might be less inclined to help us, given that we're a division rival.

Breaking: Kevon Looney has just declared for the draft.



Good news as I think the reports were he was on the fence and without a good showing in the tourney.. him declaring should bolster the draft somewhat.

Looney must be getting feedback that he really is lottery or mid-first round.

On the flip side though that pick is gonna have a pretty low value.. it's a future pick + it likely won't be in the lottery. So I don't know if we'll get its full value worth by trading it 'now'.
 
Okay here's the play: Jazz offer Hood + #10 (or #11) to Sacramento for #6 or #7. Jazz draft Winslow or Hezonja. Sacto gets Hood + Turner/Looney/Johnson/...or the top PG. Sacto needs a PG, a shooting wing and a PF who can shoot.

If I'm giving up Hood in a deal, I want Russell or Towns. Based on what little I know of Hezonja, I'd rather have Hood. Winslow is a different kind of player, but Hood and 10 or 11 is too steep, IMO.
