sad about Jeanne. i admit Juwan Evans is an interesting prospect, but i'd be a lot more comfortable with him if he weren't so poor finishing around the rim. when you already have your size working against you, that is a big deal. if he were a better finisher, that would negate some of the size concern. instead it compounds it. and for a fan base that has been burned by Burke, that a tough pill to swallow.

without Jeanne, i probably go
24 - Semi
30 - Bell
42 - Peters - if not available, probably take Hart, Brooks, Bolden or Dozier
55 - hope Hart drops, then Thornwell, NWG or Morris, with Bacon perhaps in the mix

I think you have to draft Bell before Semi if you really want Semi and Bell.

Not according to DX. They don't necessarily know, but it's not a bad starting point.

Pick #55
I'm partly convinced the Jazz will take a Euro with 55. Makes sense to start building up the draft rights pool with young players. Slavica is one of the few Euro wings in this draft with actual athleticism.

This is another guy we had in for a workout from Europe. He might be heavily underrated right now. He has better per-40 stats than Frank N (both play in same league), and he is only a half year older. He doesnt have Frank's freakish length, but he isn't small. According to this video he is 6'3 with a 6'8 wingspan. He is also 2nd all time in French guard scoring in FIBA U20, only behind Tony Parker, but ahead of guys like Nando de Colo and Evan Fournier.
Would be a good draft and stash guy at 42 or 55. Plays in a good league for a good team while getting good minutes (21 per game this year). Could come over a year or two after being drafted, especially if Exum flames out.

If the Jazz really want Semi, they likely have to take him at 24, as they can't expect him to slip to 30. There are so few decent wings in this draft, Semi is likely to go in the mid-20s.
Likewise, I wouldn't expect Ferguson or Pasecniks to make it all the way to 30 either, assuming you like either of those guys in the first place.
A guy who might slip to #30 that I like is Kurucs. San Antonio could be choosing between Wilson and Kurucs, and the one they pass on will be there at 30. Maybe one out of Kurucs, Wilson and Pasecniks is available at 30. Both the Euros could be stash candidates.
Hopefully someone takes Rabb in that range and pushes a player we like back a spot.
I think Jawun Evans is likely to go in the 30s, so if the Jazz like him, they'd need to take him at 30.

I expect Evans to be selected before 24.
A lot of teams need a backup PG and there just isn't any after the lottery.
Bulls
Pacers
Thunder
Nets
Hawks
I could see one of those teams taking him before 24.
