The official declare who you want the Jazz to draft thread

I like Justin Patton, I just think there's no more than a 3% chance he's on the board when the Jazz draft. Plus, he's really a center. I don't think you can or should play him at the 4.

**** it. I want Justin Patton at 24. I think he can play the 4 and become a stretch 4, given his 3% last year (on 0.4 attempts but still) and background--he was 6'1" as a HS frosh and a guard.

Worst case, we will get 15 great minutes behind Gobert. But I really think he can play the 4 too. Dude is quick and very athletic and bouncy. I love the idea of having a twin towers ala Sampson and Akeem. Minus the career ending injury of course.

Our defense could be sick and this could be our counter-punch to Dubs small ball. Throw insane length out there to defend them and more importantly, on the offensive end, kill them inside to get their thin frontline into foul trouble. Patton's FT% is a concern but he has good form and shot well on minimal attempts from 3 and def can get to 70% I think. Maybe 75%.

He won't be there at 24 but if he is it's a no-brainer.

Justin Patton got double digit rebounds 3 times all year, against small ****ty schools and never got more than 11 rebounds.
 
Leaf has worked out for teams picking as high as #13 (Nuggets). He's in play pretty much anywhere outside the lottery. Doesn't mean that he's my choice, but it's reasonable to expect him to be taken a few picks before the Jazz draft.

Yet, you said you would pass at 24.

Not too excited by anyone other than Frank Jackson. I like Bell and Kuzma at #42...less so at #30. Deonte Burton in that group too.

Jake Wiley, Nik Slavica, Cyrille Eliezer, Elie Okobo as prospects for #55.
