Or we could just use another player at PF who doesn't play defense (Kanter) and keep Exum.
Most overrated player in draft: Jabari Parker

I can't wait til Jabari is tearing it up. You are gonna have to answer to a lot of bad takes.

I already predicted he'll win ROY. Scoring is "sexy," defense isn't. So voters generally go for whoever scores the most points.
Look at last year's ROY: he's already on the trading block.

I've also said I think Jabari is STILL a top-3 pick. I just wouldn't give up the #5 PLUS another very good asset to move up and take him. Would I trade the #5, #23 and #35 for Jabari? In a heartbeat. Would I trade the #5 PLUS Burks and Kanter as some have suggested? No way!

Are hedging your bets?

How is he the most overrated player in the draft, but is going to win ROY?

No, see my post above yours, which I was editing. I've always said I think Parker will win ROY. It's not hedging. I agree he's the most "NBA-ready" in terms of offensive potential and points is what voters always look at. He'll win ROY over Embiid or Wiggins because he's going to a very bad team (likely Milwaukee or Philly) where he'll be counted on to score right away. Embiid and Wiggins are both considered to be bigger projects. But everyone is on his jock saying he's a franchise player and we should sell the farm to get him. I disagree. I think his defense is a HUGE liability. And he's a bit of a tweener: shorter than the ideal PF and too slow to play SF.

Well that's where I'm calling you out on. Parker will be a franchise player. He will be a good defender. He won't be too slow to play the 3.

I honestly don't know what you are looking at? The kid is special.
 
I don't think we'd need to trade Burks or Kanter if Exum fell to us for the #2 pick.

They want Exum. (not Vonleh or Gordon if the Magic had taken him at 4).

We then trade Exum, #23, #34, plus next years pick or GS 2017.
for
#2 pick (maybe a bad contract too..)

I'm sure DL could get back into the draft too if he liked another player.

Would you do that?

Or Jabari,

So would the Jazz have to call the Bucks up and say "Hey if Exum Falls will you consider trading who ever you pick at #2". Cause we won't know if Exum falls until after they draft. So we wouldn't have a choice on who it was. I guess we could try trading with the 76ers as well.

Yes, I'd do it. But I wouldn't trade the #34, that's too high. I'd trade the #35. :p
 
Jody Genessy: Jazz are still hopeful they'll get Noah Vonleh in for a workout. Utah exec Walt Perrin said he looked in shape when he saw him in New York
