The Jazz badly need length and athleticism in the front court. So if we're drafting based on need, those two guys are both attractive. Okpala would be in line to replace Sefalosha.
 
The Jazz interviewed Nas Little at the Combine. That's enough for me to make up a sleeper theory that the Jazz are going to try to trade up to get him in the draft.

From Shams in the Athletic

Sources said North Carolina forward Nassir Little’s draft range likely begins with the Hawks at No. 8, but the Bulls (No. 7) are expressing an increased interest in trying to bring Little in for a workout ahead of Thursday’s draft. There had been questions about Little’s 3-point shooting in his freshman season at UNC, where Little shot 26.9 percent on under two attempts per game. But several lottery teams said that Little squashed any concerns during his shooting in pre-draft workouts.

Nas Little would potentially add some "edge" to the squad. He is, in spades, what I've been calling for for years here, one of these mauling wings.

He's plenty big enough to play the PF spot next to Rudy too which adds a nice wrinkle of bullyball.

I dont have him crazy high on my board but still I think he'd be a match here. Monster on the boards. He has a very quick first step too. Great motor, ultra competitive.
 
Andy Larsen on The Weekly Run podcast said today is the first time he thinks it's more likely that the Jazz deal the pick over keeping it. Said that the trade to Memphis would probably involve pick 23 and a future heavily protected FRP that probably turns into 2 2nds.

Said the Jazz are rumored to really like Jordan Bone. Think he's a great athlete and underrated as a ball handler and playmaker/underrated compared to Admiral/Grant Williams. Said if he's there at 53, don't be surprised if the Jazz keep that pick and take him.
