Realistically, we only don't have depth at the PG, SG, and C position. But, after watching that Portland game even these young DLeaguers are playing well. With the whole Kanter controversy with playing time. Do you think any top 10 player would realistically want to head onto this team with such young depth?
 
If I was a SG or PG then absolutely. I would feel that I have a legit chance to come in and get into the regular rotation and fight for a starter position in my 2nd to 3rd season.

Also our wings is not as thin as it looks. Especially next year when Burks is healthy. Hayward, Hood and Burks are all legit. Plus guys like Millsap and Ingles produce. Room for one more really good player in that rotation.

If I was a C then probably not. Gobert has that starting job in a strangle hold. Any player that comes in behind him will be a bench player for life unless traded or they are the next Shaq.

Absolutely. Everyone wants to win and the Jazz are getting closer.
 
Not initially. I think there is a mid perception that Utah's a bad place. It's fine and with our fans and organization these players are going to have commitment and passion. Plus our core guys and upcoming guys play very well with others. Once you got someone in... If they aren't a doofus they will appreciate the good things we have. We are also close to being very good.

We have a lot of talent but if the player is good enough there will be minutes. They won't be handed a starting job but there will be opportunities.
 
Yes.
 
A team where D-Leaguers are playing major rotational minutes, and should be in the playoffs next year? Of course. Nobody drafted at 10 or 11 should be expecting to be handed a starting spot anyway. Jazz are a pretty good situation unless you plan on being our starting center. That ain't gonna happen.
 
If I'm Kris Dunn or Jerian Grant, I'd think Utah is a perfect situation. Who wouldn't want to play with Gordon Hayward, DFaves and Rudy Gobert?

Hezonja would come in for the starting SG job. Any of the bigs could get 25 - 30 mins in a back-up role.

No rookie is going to be a starter at SG or SF for the Jazz next season. Hell Hood and Burks are going to have one hell of a fight for that job as it is. A PG maybe, But I don't think a rookie at any of the other positions has a shot in hell at being a starter next year. Maybe a few years down the road but not next year.
 
I would say yes. Our coaches and management seem to be doing really well with the youthful talent. So why not ???
 
Yes, I would. We are still young, but what we have is very real. They still have a chance to be a big part of this, but they also don't have to endure years of losing.
 
Point guards are set. #2's are set. Small Forwards are semi-set with Hayward taking 35+min. Power is set if Booker is back. Center backup is open. Tomic is rumored there though. So I'd just take the best player available. Kaminsky fits right in here. He also seems to be a smart player.
 
If I'm a top ten prospect and see that the team is winning with a young team full of D-leaguers and a coach known for helping young players progress then I'm going to ask where I sign!!
 
Unless you're a bitch like Kanter is, top 10 picks that are worth a damn usually have the skills and mentality to play wherever they go.
