So who are your top three? Just wondering for when the Jazz move onto the top three in the lottery.

I would say for me it's in this order:

Towns
Russell
Mudiay

I'd have to agree with the list, for me the order would be:
Russell
Towns
Mudiay

At @P3sportscience: Jahlil Okafor, Frank Kaminsky, Stanley Johnson, Kelly Oubre, Robert Upshaw, Joe Young, the Harrison twins, and many more


Kaminsky putting on an absolute shooting clinic out here. Going to be such a touch cover in the NBA.

There's a Pelton/Ford article from today about the needs and fixes different teams might need. Here's the part about the Jazz:

12. Utah Jazz

Pelton: This one's pretty obvious. The Jazz went 19-10 after the All-Star break despite getting the league's worst production in terms of my wins above replacement player stat (WARP) from their point guards. Dante Exum has the potential to solve that, but one way or another Utah needs better production from its point guards.

Ford: No, no, no, Kevin. No more point guards in Utah. Exum is their future. I think he has the potential to be the best player on their roster. Don't give them any ideas. He's 19. He just transitioned from Australian high-school basketball to the NBA. He'll make a huge leap this season. If anything, it's the backup point guard position that they need to solve. But more importantly, I think the Jazz are one of the few teams in the lottery that are really set with excellent young players at each position on the floor. Exum at point guard, Alec Burks at shooting guard, Gordon Hayward at small forward, Derrick Favors at power forward and Rudy Gobert at center. And I love Rodney Hood coming off the bench. I think that gives them the space to take the best player available, regardless of position. In my Grade: A Mock Draft, that was UCLA's Kevon Looney. I also think he's a great fit as a backup for both Favors and Hayward. He's young and not really ready, but I love his long-term potential.

Pelton: I don't disagree with taking the best player available, but I would argue that taking a point guard doesn't necessarily mean burying Exum. Among other things, it's not yet clear that point guard is his best position since Exum has the size to play shooting guard. But unless they go for one of my favorites like Jones or Utah's Delon Wright, the best player available probably will be Looney. Kaminsky could be a fit here, too. Coach Quin Snyder has been looking for a big man to stretch the floor, and Kaminsky could slot comfortably into a three-player rotation in the frontcourt, playing alongside both Favors and Gobert.

Another interesting thing to read in that article was that both of them think Dekker is a better prospect than Stanley Johnson. Wow! People are really down on Johnson! I've been lowering him on my own board some, but if he's available at 12 I'd jump on him without much hesitation.

Thanks... not too much new there, but the insight is appreciated.

Was just looking at basketball insiders Steve Kyler's Twitter feed. Hood is out at IMG working out with draft prospects (this was in some other twitter feeds as well). IMG is top notch and the dude is out there grinding with guys who are trying to get in the best shape of their lives to impress teams that could give them millions. It's only May... I'm impressed. Dude has skill and good athleticism... if this is how he's going to continue to work and prepare he could be amazing. Only pause I have is with his feet... hopefully it was a one time deal.

I think we might be set on the wing when healthy. I think one of the stretch bigs might have a better opportunity on our squad. One of Looney, Frank, Turner, Johnson (I think he can play the 4 Dray style), or Porzingis will absolutely be there when we pick. We are in a pretty good spot right now.

awesome fry sauce. I would draft Johnson over dekker and I think Johnson might drop to 12 and the Jazz get the steal of the draft.

Although watching that short video of Oubre and Johnson it was interesting to see that the movements of Oubre where more natural then Johnson. He also looked very long. Oubre is going to go before Johnson on his potential.
