If we stay at 5, trade for another pick in the teens...

5 Aaron Gordon
15 Rodney Hood
23 Cleanthony Early

Just let those 3 battle it out for the starting Small Forward position, bound to hit on one!

Thoughts? Don't think DL does this though because he is either going to swing for the fences and try and move up or trade the 5th pick for a veteran if they can't move up to get the guy they want.

Hood is so meh it hurts.

The thought of bringing in at least three more rookies is awful, just awful.

5. Smart
15. TJ Warren
23. KJ Mcdaniel or GR3

Well, 4 if you also count Neto.
I agree; the preferable route would be to make trades for impact players.
I could see the Jazz staying at #5, with the teams at 1-4 wanting WAY too much to move up. Then the Jazz trade #23 and #35 to move up into the teens. Still have three rookies because Neto will be coming over.

I like Kyle Anderson better than Rodney Hood or Cleanthony. based on stats and measurements. Anderson is projected on DX at pick 23. So Jazz wouldn't have to aggregate picks 23 + 35 to move into the teens to grab him.

 

[The Thriller]

Wow.

Are we trying to tank for the 2015 draft?

I mean, before long even Kentucky will have an older team than we!

 

[Jeffrey32]

It would take #23 + 2014/future 2nd rounder to get into the teens.

 

[fgcamel]

yea lets get 3 more rookies to play 16 minutes a game, we haven't had enough of that

 

[illyasova]

Tanking must be bad habbit. As a fan you just hope, hope and hope for the future. No need more rookies!
