Unless 3 teams in the top 10 hire me and give me control of their draft, I doubt that happens, but Knecht would probably be my next highest ranked player who could be there at 10
Who do you want the Jazz to draft if they stay at #10? (Poll)
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date

Edey. The Spurs will need some competition for their all world center.
Salaun is not expected to be available at #10.
You can write him in. Word is that he might go top 10 if a team like Portland trades back a few spots to take him. Otherwise, he hasn't been mentioned as a player the Jazz are looking at for #10.
I should have included Edey in the poll. That was my bad.
He very well could be. Far from a given. We will see what the rumors say once he starts conducting workouts.
We can redo another version of this poll later this week. I'll add Walter, Edey and Salaun. It doesn't look like anyone has mentioned McCain, but maybe he'll be added as well.

Really hoping Holland falls to 10 - he's the steal of the draft, IMO, based on where he's projected. 2nd choice is Walter. Not sure there is really anybody I HATE among the prospects, however. I also like Collier there, Knecht and Carter. Williams scares me a bit with how bad he was to finish the season and Topic with his injury, but both still solid values at 10.
Feel like Walter is the sneaky guy we never talk about who could go 10 just because of his HS reputation and some weird advanced stats. He also plays as hard as anyone I watched.
Like it's crazy he had a 4.6 OBPM despite shooting 38% and 34% from the field/3. It's mostly due to his elite 3pt rate/FT rate stats. Dont have any stats in front of me, but I feel like he got fouled on 3pt shots more than anyone in college.

Cody Williams looked really good at the start of his college season. Then he had a series of injuries. He had a high ankle sprain. He got hit in the face and had to play with a mask. He also had a broken hand that he was recovering from at some point. Similar to Keyonte a year ago, I think Cody is better than he showed later in the season.
However, that's also the question with Cody--can he compete well enough physically? I was hoping that he'd add some strength and really attack his pre-draft process, but he didn't quite do that. He also weighed in at just under 180 lbs at the Combine, and quite frankly, he doesn't look like he's physically ready for the NBA. He's going to need 15 lbs as a starting point, and preferably 20+ lbs if he's going to hold his own against physical defenders. I wonder if his frame can carry that. He's also looked a bit physically awkward, like he's still getting used to his body. However, this might actually be a good thing if it means he has an opportunity to tighten things up as he matures.
The bet on Cody is that physical development will take place over the next 2 - 3 years, which when combined with his length, feel and scoring instincts, makes him an impact player. At the same time, he should be a fairly versatile defender. However, I wouldn't expect him to do much at all in his first year or two.

This seems like a fairly ideal list of potential choices.
