Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Jazz are typically looking for:
  1. size & length for position
  2. plus athleticism
  3. defense
  4. shooting
  5. ability to create in the pick-and-roll
If they have size and can play on the wing, that's a real plus. Of course, most teams think this way.

Kevin Huerter checks the boxes more or less.
Troy Brown is good if he'll shoot better.

I have to believe those two guys really stand out for the Jazz at the moment.

I don't think the Jazz are keen on drafting a guy who is 6'3" or less unless he's really awesome.

Several players around 21 check a lot of those boxes. Makes this draft an interesting one.

My choice at #21 would be Troy Brown or Grayson Allen.

I think Troy would flourish with the development program. He plays under control, and intelligent. If he gets his shot I see him as a more athletic Joe Ingles. Plus, I think he could grow another inch.

However, I think Grayson has an immediate impact. If Rubio is injured which could happen, he gives us rotation starter depth and he becomes our best shooter at guard.

Troy could be the new canned soup.
 
I still think that our main team need is someone who can create their own offense off of the dribble when a play breaks down or the defense just does a good job. Right now DM is the only player that we have that can do that consistently. For that reason I'm still on the Okobo train. I think that he has that type of potential offensively. If we could move up I'd love to get Lonnie Walker, I think he has that potential. I think that players like Zhaire Smith, Donte DiVincenzo and Anfernee Simons can develop it too. Possibly Huerter.

Yeah, I haven't made too many trade ideas because we simply don't have many expendable, valuable trade assets. Lets look at them:

Burks' expiring - only has positive value for a worthless expiring like Faried or a bad contract like Biyombo, Noah, Gallinari, etc.

Bradley - young big with potential on a super cheap deal.

#21 - not strong, but solid.

Future 1sts - decent value. Doubt we trade an unprotected pick.

#52 or other future 2nd rounders - not very strong. Usually used for other 2nd rounders not to move up or seal a big deal.

Really, that is it around the draft. Rubio, DM, Ingles, Gobert, Crowder, and O'Neale are untouchable.

Troy is only 18. He looks like an NBA player. I think he could have a big jump in his skill level the next year or two. His passing, and all around skill level..could make him a offensive creator.

The obvious piece to trade is Thabo. If we offer Thabo, 21 and 52, we should be able to move up a bit, but we'll need to take something back (which we can do if it's 1 year).

If we take back a contract with one year on it, the other team has no incentive to make the deal, unless they really love the 52nd pick.
