Sorry, you can't post complete Insider articles. That can get the site into trouble. I'll cut everything but the Jazz picks. --colton

PLAYER CARD
14Lucas NogueiraUtah Jazz
COUNTRY: BrazilAGE: 20HT: 7-0WT: 220POS: C
Analysis: Not much has changed here since the last mock. If C.J. McCollum, Trey Burke or Michael Carter-Williams (probably in that order) are on the board, the Jazz go point guard. If they're gone? The team isn't in love with any of the point guards left. They also need bigs (both Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap are free agents this summer) and it looks as if they're open to using the draft to help address that need. Nogueira isn't the only guy they'll look at here. Kelly Olynyk and Mason Plumlee also have a shot. But I think Nogueira is the most intriguing of the group.

21Isaiah CanaanUtah Jazz via Golden State Warriors
SCHOOL: Murray StateAGE: 22HT: 6-0WT: 188POS: PG

Analysis: If the Jazz pass on a point guard at No. 14, they have to be content with what's left at No. 21. This one might come down to Schroeder and Canaan. Schroeder is bigger, but Canaan is a much better scorer. It's really tough to pinpoint who they'd choose, but I think Canaan has the edge. Nogueira and France's Rudy Gobert also are potential picks here if the Jazz go with a point guard at No. 14.

PLAYER CARD
46Nate WoltersUtah Jazz
COLLEGE: South Dakota St.AGE: 22HT: 6-5WT: 196POS: PG

Analysis: The Jazz would be thrilled if Wolters was still on the board here. He was under consideration at No. 21 and brings size and floor vision to the table.

Wow.. if it goes own like this I'm gonna have a serious nightmare tonight after the Draft.


Seriously.. I HATE bebe. And I'd rather have Erick Green than Canaan.
 
I guess this is an acceptable draft but not a great one. It's odd to think that the second rounder could start over the first rounder (Wolters vs. Canaan).
 
I view this as almost the worst case scenario. Plumlee at 14 would be worse to me. Wolters at 46 is the only one that would be satisfying.
 
Has anyone ever had the time to go back and look how often Chad Ford is right? I say right because it would be a much lower number, and easier to count, than how often he's wrong.

He makes Mel Kiper look like Nostradamus.
