Jazz Pre-Draft Camps and Workouts

Orton has canceled all of his upcoming workouts. The rumor is that OKC has given a guarantee.
 
In the end, I think all this talk about moving up/down will be just that: talk.
KOC will say they looked at all possibilities, but nothing came up that would have made the team better, and they'll take the safest pick possible at #9: Aldrich if he's available or Hayward/Babbitt.

I have no problems with any of that. I wouldn't give up too much to move up to 5th or 6th just to get a player who may or may not be better than someone available at 9. I think the talent from 5-12 is very level. Hell, I'm not even sure #4 (Wes Johnson) is that far removed. Right now, there is a top 2, a #3, and then a drop-off.
 
Unless Monroe falls to 9 we need to let him go.
He doesn't help our defense anyways.
I can see how it would be hard to pass up him at 9, but since he won't be there let's get our defensive big!

I'm officially off the Monroe bandwagon, and firmly on the Udoh and Aldrich train.
For once I agree with Greg Miller. When asked what the Jazz needed most in the draft the first thing he said was to get tougher.
Babbitt and Monroe are nice offensive players, but do not help this team out on defense. Unless that Jazz are going to trade for a C going
after the two soft PFs doesn't make that much sense. Plus they will take a few years to work out the kinks.

Udoh or Aldrich are begging to be picked. Please don't blow it Jazz.
Adding those two also making resigning Boozer more feasible.
We get rid of AK's contract in a year. Deron - Wes - CJ - Boozer/Sap - Aldrich/Monroe is a contending lineup.

Its tough to want to pay Boozer a lot to stay. ESPN has an article about Booze's free agency out today. He was actually a -2 for the season. His defense is that bad. AK I bet is in the positive range and also since his contract expires it will give us more flexibility next year. But I certainly would not be upset if we picked Udoh, Monroe or Aldrich.

That lineup would contend for 40 wins. CJ is one of the worse starting wings in the league. Wes is passable, nothing special. Aldrich is a smaller, poor mans Pryzbilla.
