Ebb and flow of the schedule. The only surprise was the win vs. Memphis. Without Alec, maybe Jazz lose some of the games that were once very winnable (@ Minny, home vs. Brooklyn, etc.).
With more bad teams this season, 25 wins may not be good enough for the fifth worst record. Obviously, if the Jazz get a top-3 pick, they take BPA (Okafor, Towns or Mudiay). Outside of that - in the 4-9 range - I'd say someone like Johnson, Russell or Porzingis. They're all players who could complement the roster we have or even be starters down the road. I wouldn't even be opposed to drafting WCS. That could be a dominating presence at the 5: Gobert playing 25-30 and then bringing in WCS. Just take BPA, regardless of position, and make roster adjustments if/when that player pushes for playing time or even a starting spot.
