I'm guessing that it's about 70-80% that the Jazz stay at #23 and draft one of the 4 wings that Locke seems to have centered on: Josh Green, Bane, Woodard, or McDaniels. And since Poku's draft stock is so varied, it would probably surprise no one if the Jazz picked him up if he happened to slip a bit. And let's just throw Tyler Bey in this group of players we wouldn't be surprised to have the Jazz pick.
But apart from one of those probable outcomes, and for bragging rights if it comes to pass, give your likeliest (not favorite) outcome for the unlikely scenarios of:
List A (Players generally not expected to be available at #23):
Edwards
Wiseman
Ball
Okongwu
Avdija
P. Williams
Hayes
Halliburton
Toppin
Okoro
S. Bey
Vassell
Hampton
Maxey
K. Lewis
Nesmith
Jalen Smith
List B (Players that are often mocked near #23, but that aren't often associated with Jazz)
C. Anthony
Maledon
Bolmaro
T. Terry
Achiuwa
NNaji
Stewart
Flynn
Ramsey
But apart from one of those probable outcomes, and for bragging rights if it comes to pass, give your likeliest (not favorite) outcome for the unlikely scenarios of:
- Jazz move up in the draft (choose any draft-eligible player)
- Someone unexpected "falls" that the Jazz pick up at #23 (choose from list A below)
- Jazz pick someone well within in their range that is not often associated with them -- for positional/stylistic fit, Euro contract, etc. (choose from list B below)
- Jazz "reach" for someone at #23 (choose someone not listed above, nor in lists A or B below)
- Jazz trade down in draft (choose any draft-eligible player)
- Jazz pick up a second rounder (choose any draft-eligible player)
- Jazz move out of the draft to (help) trade for current NBA player (choose key target of trade)
JF-er | Move up | Someone Falls (From List A) | Unexpected Pick Within Normal Range (From List B) | Jazz "Reach" (not List A, B, or the 6 players listed above) | Move Down | Acquire 2nd-rounder | Trade Pick (at least partly) For |
idiot | Patrick Williams | Tyrese Maxey | Theo Maledon | Paul Reed | Tyler Bey | Abdoulaye N’Doye | Aaron Gordon |
Hekate | Devin Vassell | Aaron Nesmith | Precious Achiuwa | Nico Mannion | Xavier Tillman | Immanuel Quickley | Thomas Satoransky |
