So who do you guys like for the Jazz in 16 and 17 so far?
They'd be well served finding a few players to stash overseas since there's 4 picks in 2016 and 5 in 2017.
Jonathan Jeanne 7'2" C, will be need 2 years to add strength if he were to be drafted in the 1st rd of 2016, He's got enough upside to warrant that type of pick though, he's extremely mobile for that size. 7'2"
Zhou Qi too. 7'
Ivica Zubac could add himself to this conversation if he continues to shows well this year.
Vasilis Charlambopoulos 6'8" SF is probably worth stashing with a later first rd pick too, if he were to declare. Stashable players in the 2nd round like
Timothe Luwawu,
Alpha Kaba,
Isaia Coordinier,
Andzejs Pasecniks,
Nedim Buza and
Rade Zagorac, maybe even
Jinqu Hu are ones i'd look at taking a flyer on.
In 2017, if the Jazz are still having questions about PG, they can answer them -
De'Aaron Fox and
Frank Ntilikina look like the best ones IMO, with
Dennis Smith and
Markelle Fultz not far behind.
Derryck Thornton is projected as the 30th pick in 2017, He wouldn't be a bad pickup for a backup PG.
There's also
Malik Monk in 2017 who the more I think about it would fit in Utah's rotation perfectly, He's kind of like somewhere in-between Brad Beal and Russell Westbrook.. undersized at the 2 which isn't anything he can't handle, next to a PG like Dante it'd almost be a non-factor. The Jazz could do this sort of thing with
Malik Newman in the 2016 draft, but Monk is definitely a better prospect
In the 2017 2nd round, there could be some interesting shooters on the board, in
Luke Kennard or Trey Lyles good friend
James Blackmon, maybe even
Daniel Hamilton,
Grayson Allen,
Dillon Brooks,
E.C. Matthews or
Allonzo Trier.
There's more than a few players worth stashing in 2017 too.
Isaiah Hartenstein,
Omer Yurtserven,
Tadas Sedekerskis and
Rodions Kurucs could all prove to be good enough to stash with a 1st rd pick.
