That's pretty impressive for a last workout. All these dudes are probably at their most fatigued. Evans has done at least 5 straight workouts with no rest.

I did a little digging on the Grayson Allen to Jazz connection made by Alex Kennedy. He merely quotes Tony Jones article on the 5-6 guys the Jazz are considering at 21.
Nothing to see here.

This. I think Allen could be a decent trade chip because he'll produce from the start as a shooter off the bench. If the Jazz could drop to later in the 1st and get a pick in the 30's or early 40's, Utah could have a couple of decent prospects. I don't get the "too old" argument. Yes, it's an era of 1-and-done, but it wasn't too long ago players stayed in college for 4 years and then had long, productive careers. With many of the younger guys, it takes their rookie contract before they're decent rotation players. Then you're paying them $15M on a 2nd contract for 3-4 years.

I had this in the Wiggins/Butler thread. I think there could be something to this should Memphis like Wiggins:
Burks, Udoh, #21 and #52 to Minnesota
Wiggins, Jerekbo and Utah's 2019 lottery protected 1st to Memphis
Parsons, #4 and future Minny 2nd to Utah
Minnesota gets out from Wiggins' contract, save a good bit, and get a 1st for Wiggins.
Memphis gets a player for #4, dumps Parsons and gets a 1st rounder in 2019 when they don't have one.
We get #4 for talking that awful Parsons contract instead of Minny.
This has some meat to it, but Memphis is now on the hook for even more salary.

Yep. How much do they want to "win now" with Gasol and Conley coming to the end of their careers? I think Wiggins is flawed, but I do think he's better now than anybody from the draft for the short term. And maybe, just maybe, he shines with the extra touches given to him in Memphis. Thibs is no fun to play for and there are too many ball dominant players in Minnesota.
I'd rather give Bjelica the MLE and draft someone else. if I had to choose between the two... I'd probably go Wagmer but I don't have a strong opinion either way.
Edit:
The biggest appeal of getting a stretchy big is to play alongside Gobert and IMO you cannot play Wagner at the 4 so he will be severely limited in the number of minutes and role he gets on the Jazz so his appeal is a bit dampened. Spellman is probably better suited to play the 4 than Wagner... so it might actually be better to pick him if we are strictly going for stretchy big to pair up with Gobert.
