Unless the Jazz are going to make a big trade around the draft this year (maybe Walker?), we're looking at having a top-8 pick or having no pick at all. So I'm just focusing on guys who could factor into the top-10 range. I don't have as much time to obsess as I used to. It does suck that we only have one pick this year.
What could really kick the Jazz into gear is a player with a dominant physical presence combined with on-ball skills. That guy would then become the main hub on offense, and there would be less of this cutting and screening around the perimeter that the Jazz are doing currently. (Call it Svi-ball.)
Guys like Brown and Ament are really good, and they'd help the team, but they wouldn't fundamentally transform how the Jazz play the way Boozer, Dybantsa, Wison or maybe Peat would. Lauri and Ace already give us nice shooting and movement on the wings. Now we need that hub that sucks in multiple defenders.
