Was about to post the same thing. Doesn't help much in the shooting department, but that's a significant improvement on defense.
Then trade Kanter for Stauskus.

April fools?
If they draft Smart then Burke will be gone by the end of the night.
Admittedly I have put down a few, but I just can't figure out what you're saying here.If they draft Smart, my money is that they have a deal ready before the pick is submitted. DL likes to shake things up. Let's say he ends up turning that GSW pick into Burke and then Burke and a pick into Smart. That's good asset management. And I'm not even a big fan of Marcus Smart, but I'm smart enough to realize that he would have gone #1 overall last year. You don't pass up a chance to upgrade when possible. . . especially if you can do so at a reasonable cost.
Kanter for Stauskus is laughable.
What's happening with Sacramento's 8th pick? Anyway, Jazz can offer Kanter and take a bad contract for it?
He is the best value at 5, IMO. I'll give you guys that.
I'd love drafting Smart and flipping Burke + #23 for a pick 10-15. There's some good wings on the board there, or we could reach for another big (I like Payne or Capela).
If gordon is still on the board at 8, which could happen if we take smart, then we could flip burke for the 8 and a bad contract. Might have to give up 23 but probably not.
If we got Smart and Gordon with only losing burke and 23 that would be a great draft.
Smart may end up being the best player of this draft class. I believe DL may take him but I also am not sure how this info has been leaked. I mean it's very unusual of Jazz FO.
