2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

It sounds as though the Jazz are looking at everybody and considering every possibility. I could believe the Jazz are trying to trade up, but I think their target would be Sheppard or one of their favorite wings, rather than Clingan. Just my opinion, but I think Clingan is, for all intents and purposes, the Jakob Poeltl of this draft. Maybe he's better in some respects, but he's basically a starting-caliber two-way big and not a whole lot more.
If you can get a starting caliber 2 way center out of this draft, you probably grab that and run though, right?
 
Here's Bleacher Report's latest mock ---

He has the Jazz taking Dillingham ahead of both Topic and Williams. Also shows the Jazz taking Dadiet at 29. Some of Wasserman's comps aren't bad, imo.

If Dillingham is available at 10 I'd bet the Jazz grab him. Not sure they would be keeping him for the next hour, but grabbing him there would make sense.
 
Alright... two trades... both with the Kings. They are gonna lose Monk. So JC and 10 for Huerter and 13. I think Red Velvet has a better chance at having some trade value recover than JC. I think he's better for us and worth the trade back. Maybe we get a second rounder for our trouble.

Second one. Kessler/JC/29 for Huerter/13

I know some hate Huerter but he'd give us a different look at guard.

If the Jazz wanted Kyshawn George or Kel'el Ware in this draft, I could see them make a move like that.

I think one of Edey/Holland/Carter would be there I think... and I would take them. Maybe outside shot Topic falls that far. If it was for Ware or George that's a hard pass.

Going to be honest not sure I love the Clarkson/Huerter swap if it means we’re moving down 3 spots.
 
Giving has Utah as a team interested in trading up for Clingan and drafting Edey at 10.

But remember how much some posters like Sip go on and on about how much the FO loves Kessler?
 
I think the Jazz love players with 30-foot shooting gravity (every team does). Sheppard and Knecht stand out as having it. Carter and George do too, to a lesser degree.
