Following potential 2017 draftees...

I didn't put Alonzo Trier in my first round, but believe he could be a steal in the late first/early second.

We need to get one of the PGs if our PG doesn't improve this year. I'd love any of the top 5-6 PGs. I think all of them are better than this draft's best PG(Dunn).

Fultz, Fox, Smith are straight studs.

I think Hartenstein is better than you ranked him. His body is so versatile. Less talented players with more character concerns have been taken higher.

Next year Jazz should really go all out in moving up the draft since it's a much stronger draft class. I mean, trade their 2 1st rd picks along with other assets to move into the lottery.

Couldn't agree more. I would love a top 10, but there will be big time players to 20.

Harry Giles has had surgeries on both knees. If he fully heals, he will be a monster and the runaway consensus #1 pick.

A comparison I often here for Josh Jackson is Tracy McGrady. I kind of like a Paul George comp.
He will be a massive SG as a pro.

Markelle Fultz was the rapid climber of the summer. Was unreal.

How are the Jazz going to be in contention for a top PG when they are all in top 10. It isn't easy moving up when the talent is average, how tougher will it be in a top draft like 2017. Unless OKC or GS exploded, not likely the Jazz have a chance to get one of those picks.

Giles knees already make me nervous. I would rather take Josh Jackson.

I think the Jazz already have too many quality rotation players long term. You got Lyles, Burks and Exum off the bench probably next year. I'd argue these 3 are all talented enough to be starters somewhere. Burks obviously already is good enough.
So you could create a package to trade up if you really want into the top10 for a point guard or something else.

We don't yet know whether we will need a PG. hopefully we don't.
