What's new

For real doe... It should probably be Randle

but is this team a better one with Randle aboard?
would they then send Kanter, re-sign Hayward and Marv and draft McDaniels with the 23rd?
draft the B"pg"A in the second round?
Burke / Neto (?)/ 2. round scrub who might end up being passable
Burks / Hayward /McDaniels
Hayward / Marv / McDaniels
Randle / Marv / Evans
Favors / Go-Bear

I am looking at this and think that this team is not a better team than this season's Jazz.
so here is my bold claim
Jazz will draft small, PG/SG whatever.
They know at 5th. you a draft a good big but this will mean marginal improvement, if ever that is attained of course.
so I expect a Smart, Exum move on behalf of Jazz and for that they may trade down. too.

add-on: Jordan McRae of Vols. will be a Jazz player, I've just had a vision.

I think the starting lineup first game of the season would be:

Burke/vet PG
Hayward/Burks
Marvin/McDaniels
Kanter/Randle
Favors/Gobert

Then about 3/4 through the season will likely become:

Burke/vet PG
Hayward/Burks
Randle/McDaniels
Kanter/Marvin
Favors/Gobert


With Randle at the SF position, the Jazz are a HUGE team up front, grabbing rebounds left right and center. If Randle develops into the player I think he could be (an offensive powerhouse with playmaking ability), then he will draw double team all day long.

In fact I see Randle being the only player we can get at #5 or lower that will likely draw double team, and can become our leading scorer.
 
Since everyone has brought up Randle's "will to win", let's say Utah takes Randle at 5. Vonleh goes 6, Gordon goes 7, Sacramento is on the clock at 8. Does Sacramento take Kanter and Burke for #8? That gives you:

PG - Smart vs Burke
SG - Hayward/Burks
SF - ??? vs ???
PF - Randle vs Favors
C - Favors/Gobert vs Kanter

I think we come out better at every position except maybe, PF. Maybe. Sacramento gets another ball hog in Kanter, and a good PG situation in Thomas/Burke.

Eh. Just wasting time here.

You have kanter in the trade and then also kanter as a possible option at center in our lineup.

I like it. We trade him and then they give him back to us for nothing.
 
I am not going to be upset with Smart, Exum, Randle or Gordon tbh. Just really wanted Parker or Wiggins.
 
Out of Smart, Randle, or Gordon, I am only excited about getting Randle. Getting another PG isn't exciting and I just don't see the hype with Gordon.

I like the fire Randle brings. He just seem like a guy who loves basketball and wants to go out and kill you. I wish we could get into the top 4 somehow but with what's left I want Randle. Vonleh is just too meh for me as well. Didn't stand out when I saw him.

Wait wait wait...... so you think randle can play sf?
 
Randal was right up there as the big three in college basketball started. I don't follow College at all even in March. So what happened between November and May to make people cringe worthy about taking him at 5?
 
I didnt take these into consideration.

Good answer

Both things that can be improved. I've heard people say he doesn't have much upside, but his biggest weaknesses, the suspect shot, the loose dribble, the lack of ability to go right, the court vision, defense - all those things can be improved. Because most of his issues are things that can be improved, that tells me he has a ton of upside.
