Where do you have Markkanen? That would be a tough call for me between those two. Markkanen's just been a soft ***** every time I watch him so I have trouble going there.....but he's obviously got tons of upside. I haven't seen him at his best.

Well.. Zach Collins still has another game to play.. so I'll get back to you then.
When Williams pulled out of the draft Zach was 11th on my board and actually touched the top-10. The mock I posted after the elite 8 had him 12th, with Jarrett Allen ahead of him..
Things will change during workouts.. I could see a team taking Collins over Markkannen it depends tho.
I've had Collins in all my mocks for months, he's one of the reasons they've been over-saturated with bigs. I was never convinced that he wasn't gonna be in the draft this year, even in playing 'limited' minutes off the bench.

they could trade up for him.. I'd consider moving Favors for him tbh. I think he can play PF and C, He's not WCS but he can shoot and is skilled and athletic and has good timing and he's active... He'd cause all sorts of problems next to Rudy..
I'm not sold on Collins for the Jazz. I don't see him becoming a top 10 center, and he's not really a 4.

I like me some Justin Jackson but he has moved out of the jazz reach

he can play 4 and start no problem imo.. Prezmek is the Robin to his B
rook Lopez.
(u thought I was gonna say batman right?)
(u thought I was gonna say batman right?)
Fits right between Dirty Harry Barnes and Nerlens Noel.
Did u see that perfectly lofted high-low big-to-big pass he threw in crunch time??
Ideally u have a 6'9" athletic SF/PF type such as Mo Harkless on the roster for any team who tries to really go small and run ya off the court. On this roster thats Hayward..
Collins is athletic, active, skilled and 7', playing next to Rudy would give him a real nice chance to roam about. He could handle all the backup C duties and can shoot 3's..
His skillset is a serious match here.. I'd be shocked if the FO wasn;t smitten by what he can bring to the table.

You think he would be a better fit for this team than Markannen?
Collins should declare but I don't know if he will. DX has him listed in the lottery of their 2018 mock.

I see Harry Giles declared for the draft and is definitely in. He could be a very good replacement for Derrick Favors if the Jazz decide to trade him or something.

Especially with his injury history. Could be a near facsimile of Derrick Favors.
