What's funny is I was going to post Denzel Valentine and someone beat me to it. He's good at numerous facets of the game, much like Draymond Green.
 
When does espn start that draft lottery game?

I know the jazz won't win it, but I will enjoy watching the lakers lose their pick.

The discussion was started a long time ago. Besides, if the Jazz were to miss the playoffs, the pick could get as high as 10th, But aren't we going to catch Memphis for the 5th seed? I read a lot of reasons why that was going to happen.

You mean that thread with 2000+ post? Hmmm... no thanks.

Some of us are happy to wait until a realistic timeframe to start the discussion and don't feel like wading through months of conjecture.
 
Why? Name a player projected around 15 that would make a bigger impact.

Anyne else projected to go around that range. https://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2016/

I think I'm leaning towards Wayne Baldwin. He really fits the Jazz mold of what they have been wanting. Big PG with insane length who can probably guard 2-guards. Athletic, can shoot, and can make plays. He would be a much better backup than Neto/Mack and would offer us some insurance for Exum if he never pans out.
 
Another thing on Baldwin, he was measured to have a 6'10 wingspan at age 16 (along with being 6'1.5 w/o shoes). You never really know how accurate these measurments are, it's possible the numbers were exaggerated at the time, but he could very well have a 7' wingspan right now as a 6'3 guard. It certainly looks realistic when you watch him, dude has ridiculously long arms.

Exum / Neto
Hood / Burks
Hayward / ?
Favors / Lyles
Gobert / 1st round pick (Skal Labissiere)

Though Labissiere has been disappointing this year ,no one has given up on his skills .Jazz are one of the few teams that can draft him and develop him.
Gobert is fantastic defensively but Skal can make the Jazz awesome for years to come with Gobert,Favors and Lyle in the Center and Power Forward position.
 
I'd almost rather take a flyer on the Zhou Qi than Skal.

Skal hasn't a legitimately good game vs top competition all year. Take into account he is playing with a very high level playmaking college PG too.

Do his arms help him balance?
