Following Potential 2020 draftees

right now my pick for the Jazz is Paul reed in the first round.

I'm backing off on Paul Reed just a bit. I think his role projects as a richer version of Kevon Looney. That's a rotation player for sure, but I'm not sure he can do a whole lot with the ball outside the post. The Jazz need a dynamic wing who is a legit triple threat.
 
In a mock draft Forbes had the Jazz taking this guy:
19. Utah Jazz: Vernon Carey Jr., C, Duke – Freshman

Some scouts weren’t sold on Carey coming into the season, but he’s been undeniably effective. Over a six-game stretch from mid-November through early December, Carey averaged 22.3 points (on 57% shooting), 11.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 27.2 minutes.

Jazz really need BPA. Not sure position matters, though I would avoid any traditional non skilled center (unless they are elite athletes)
 
I don't know what it would take to get this guy, but he's a star. Only 19. He does virtually everything well on both ends. Just a complete player.

So basically Tony Bradley 2.0? Pass.
 
If we were offered Okongwu, Toppin or Wiseman, plus a solid wing, I'd consider it. Part of the question is whether we think Gobert is going to stay in free agency and how much we want to pay to keep him. I like Rudy and think he's a max player, but I don't want to go too much higher than max given his offensive limitations.
Lol shut up
