If either of them have a promise from Boston or L. A., then I can see why both Exum and Smart would put off working out for Utah. Better than 5 and they get more money, slip past 5 and they (hopefully on their part) end up landing in Boston or L. A.
Of course, if the Jazz were seriously considering one or both of them, but pass because they still have too many question and favor another player instead. . . it would be funny as hell to see one of them fall to Sacramento or Charlotte. They get really screwed in that instance. I don't think that either of those teams or situations are better for them than the Jazz would be.

It doesn't seem that dumb. Orlando, Lakers, Sacramento didn't spend a lotto pick on a point guard last year. If he comes here he either has to play a lot of minutes off the ball or behind Trey (unless we traded him, which he probably doesn't want to bet on). It's a bummer but he probably knows what he's doing
If he's afraid of playing behind Burke..
(no slight to Trey, either, it's just that he's not a revered PG or anything)

Sucks that he is not interested in working out for the jazz. Does this 'jazz not interested in Smart' has something to do with it though? Maybe after the media found out, the Jazz finally start calling his agent and Smart said no?

I think that the "Jazz not interested in Smart" was more of a media-fueled thing from player's side. Considering that the Jazz have made several overtures to have him work out for them suggests to me that the Jazz did in fact have some interest in him and were doing their due diligence. I can see why he'd refuse to come to Utah to work out (considering the potential PG situations in Boston, L. A. and Sacramento. . . but I don't think that the Jazz had ever really crossed him off their board like it's been suggested.
Smart is not the smartest guy.
Tweets that a team is not interested in him, without even knowing the whole story.
Then refuses to come into a workout for a team in the draft with the #5 pick.
Who knows though, maybe he has a promise from Orlando.

They are calling smart a top ten prospect. Not all top ten prospects just a top ten prospect. Could be read your way but based on context definitely what the author meant.

Orlando would be an ideal spot for him to be honest. Him and Oladipo are defensive players. With them together, they'd be really good backcourt.
He'll push us all over!
