What's the worst we could do .. within reason?
Getting the 8th seed and bent over and ****ed in four. Again.
Or maybe I misunderstood the question.

I was trying to be slightly optimistic while still looking at the facts but you just killed any and all optimism I had.
On a serious note, Houston, GS, Minnesota and Portland are all better this year. The Jazz seem to have taken a step back. I do find it very hard to see how the Jazz will pull this out. They really had health on the team last year and other teams were constantly hurt. This year the other teams to be healthy and the Jazz are fighting a little bit of injury. Unless the Jazz are able to trade for a true #1 then I don't see them making the playoffs.

IF they pulled a Golden State they could get no better than 5th. But being the Jazz they will pull a jazz and 'fight' to the end. With a little luck they could get up to the 9th pick, but I doubt it because the other teams will start playing for draft position while the Jazz are still trying.
So, 12 - 15 is the likely range?
Yes, and it hurts to write it.
