Jazz should draft Thon Maker

Thon just needs a unibrow if he wants to move up draft boards. Former guard turned long lean center with great wingspan. Hmmm... sounds familiar.
 
Its a gamble with him. Could turn out to be very good or be a bust but the OP was right in the Jazz need a star. Not getting in free agent big signers so got to take the gamble. Didn't take the Gamble with Paul George and ended up settling with a 3rd option type player
 
I'm all board on the draft Thon Maker train. He reminds me so much of KG. I know I've said the same thing with Bobby Portis last year and he turn out good as well.
 
Thon scares me...no thanks.

He's not as fluid as KG was... He moves like old KG. He also seems a little too rehearsed in interviews. I'd take him in the late first round but I don't see him as an amazing prospect. If we are going for home runs I'd rather have skal, Chriss, or Luwawu.
 
Seems like he's worth looking at at least. He's bigger than I initially thought, making those not quite as good as advertised ball skills not as big of an issue.

Try to turn him into a longer Ibaka maybe?
 
We could go Luwawu at 12, and move up a little in the 2nd by turning three 2nds into two and drafting Thon and Nigel Hayes.
We also sign Conley.

Conley-Exum-Mack
Hood-Burks
Hayward-Luwawu-Hayes-Ingles
Favors-Lyles
Gobert-Maker-Withey
 
I'm telling yas he's like Andray Blatche.. He's got fantastic ball skills for a 7'1" player..
