KEK- I agree with ya on this one. I really like Orton and maybe we could get lucky and get a Paul george if he slips if we decide to trade down. However, I really like Udoh but if he isn't there my #1 option is trade down. Then with the second 1st rounder you get a Paul George if he falls, Pondexter, seraphin, Larry Sanders or Alabi.

I had to watch the video twice because I was watching #21 thinking he was Whiteside. I couldn't understand why he was getting so much hype. Now that i watched the real Whiteaide (#8) he does look like he could be a player. That #21 dude has no game. I pitty the fools who drafts him.
#21 is Orton

Shutup.
I agree that it's best not to trade down or out of a draft unless another team is offering something really proven and worthwhile. The draft is a free chance to add talent to your team. Most franchise players can only be acquired through the draft, so it's best to have the most options possible and get the best prospect you can. I don't really believe this year's draft is a crap shoot. Lottery players are the dominant players in the league. The Jazz are going to audition wings and bigs and rank them. They'll want the highest player on their board possible. No reason to trade down unless a stellar offer emerges.

"Never ever trade down in the NBA Draft."
Unless the players you like are likely later picks and you could gain something and still pick one of the players you wanted. Its pretty simple.

I agree with the never trade down theory. Drafts are crap shoots as it is, and the lower you go the less chance you have of ever getting anyone with value, no matter how many picks you get. You have a much better chance at getting an NBA player at 9 than you do with two picks at 16 and 23.
Ross Siler tweeted that KOC mentioned that it was probably the best workout the Jazz have ever had while he has been here. For what that's worth.
