If the Jazz move up, who will it be for?

Ideally the Jazz like one of them more than the others, and move up to secure their guy instead of taking the leftovers and hoping it works out.

Also extremely possible all those dudes are gone at 16 too.

Moving up and taking their guy is also "hoping it works out" But adding in more assets to equation so it better work out or they really screwed the pooch. I disagree that it is extremely possible all those dudes are gone. I think that is very unlikely actually.

Well yes, all drafting is hoping it works out. But I still think there is a big difference between identifying a target you really like and going to get him, and saying "We'll just take whoever is left out of this group of five dudes."

Also just disagree about one of them definitely being available. I think chalk would say that all of JHS, Bufkin, Wallace, and Bilal are gone at #16. We've done two mocks in the past few days, first one they were all gone. Second, only Wallace (my least favorite of the bunch, not that it matters) was available, and thats because the Hawks took Leonard Miller at #15.

Here is a first result when I googled NBA mock draft: https://www.nba.com/news/bleacher-report-final-2023-nba-mock-draft-and-full-two-round-predictions
All of those dudes are gone by #16 here as well. I think it'd be a pretty common theme if we kept looking at different mocks.

none of the above options. next time try using "other- if so explain"
The Jazz will trade up from 28 to get OMax is my guess

I feel very confident one of them will be available. Drafts rarely go exactly how the mocks say they will.

I will bet they are all gone by 16. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Obviously I hope you’re right.
