Following Potential 2020 draftees

If the Jazz can't swing for upside with guys like Pokusevski or Hampton, and if solid picks like Saddiq Bey and Patrick Williams are off the board, I keep coming back to Paul Reed and Reggie Perry as multi-skilled bigs with starter potential. Josh Green is also a decent two-way wing prospect, but he could be off the board too.

The Jazz are likely going to lose Mike Conley in a year and Joe Ingles is getting older, so the Jazz could draft a guard/wing to play next to Mitchell both on and off the ball. That's why guys like Theo Maledon and Leandro Bolmaro could still be in play.
Why are the Jazz going to likely lose Conley?
 
Jaden McDaniels. Discuss.

He's tall. He's long. He'll get shots off. He can handle and create for himself.

I like the positional size. I like the wing skills. I love the defensive potential. I like his ability to get shots off over defenders who are right in his grill because of the height and high release.

I don't like his poor feel in general. He makes really bad decisions as a passer and shooter. I don't like that he doesn't really create horizontal space from defenders on his shot. And I hate all of the absolute bonehead plays on film that resulted in technicals.

I've moved up on him a little just because there are very few wings at the top of this class with true wing skills and he's one of them. And I value that. But he's still not a pick I would be jumping for joy over.
 
Jaden McDaniels would be a player who they'd keep talking about how highly ranked he was in HS and what a steal he was if he turns out good
 
I have a feeling we trade our pick and move down this year... while offloading Ed's salary on a more useful player in that salary range. something in the 35-45 range... or if NY or someone behind us in the 1st is in love with someone in our range I could see us sliding back while just dumping Ed's salary.

We can trade our pick on draft night (spare me the we can't trade our pick stuff) once we exercise the pick.

There might be a team that would take him with a 2nd-round pick. I don't think we'd have to give up a 1st for his 1-year/$5MM deal. He's a good locker-room guy.

I'm thinking more like our pick and Ed to Sacramento for Bjelica and #35

Something along those lines.
 
The Larry H Miller group laid of a lot of people. I think cutting costs while trying to be competitive will be the mantra. I think we try to offload at least one bad contract and move down
