I would say that we could probably move up to somewhere within the 5-10 range. Now, is that high enough to draft Trey Burke? Don't know. It depends upon who would be drafting before we pick and what their particular "needs" are. We really won't know anything until the lottery on May 21st actually happens (duh). However, looking at the current order based upon the final NBA Standings, here is the lottery order:
#1: Magic
#2: Bobcats
#3: Cavaliers
#4: Suns
#5: Pelicans
#6: Kings
#7: Pistons
#8: Wizards
#9: Timberwolves
#10: Trailblazers
#11: 76ers
#12: Raptors
#13: Mavericks
#14: Jazz
Looking at teams 5-10 (assuming that is probably the range where we could potentially trade up into), the Trailblazers @ 10 (they just drafted ROTY Damian Lillard), the Timberwolves @ 9 (Ricky Rubio) Wizards @ 8 (John Wall), the Kings at 6 (Isaiah Thomas/Tyreke Evans), and New Orleans @ 5 (Greivis Vasquez/Eric Gordon) seem to already have young lead/point guards established on their teams. Therefore, they would likely pass on Trey Burke if available. If one of these teams like a player at a different position and think that they can still get him by moving down to 14 while acquiring a second 1st round pick at 21, they are a potential trade partner for the Jazz if we really like Trey Burke IMO. Now, again, this is all just conjecture and posturing because we the actual draft order is not set and will not be set until the 21st. Hell, the Jazz could potentially get lucky and move into the top 3, which would almost assuredly land us Trey Burke.
