One thing to be aware of regarding the Combine measurements:
When players get their max vertical measured, the process is to take the height that players can reach and subtract the player's recorded standing reach. If a player doesn't fully extend when their standing reach is being measured, it will make his max vertical measure out greater.
So when you see someone's standing reach that looks too short and their max vertical that looks to high, this could be what's going on. Agents could be telling players to do this in order to appear more athletic to scouts. Take Shane Larkin as an example. Also note the high number of people with 40" verticals this year.

next year keeps getting deeper. I hope if he does pull out he dominates so that it will push a better player to the jazz.
I'd rather someone takes him this year in the lotto leaving someone decent to us.
Fyi....
If we really can't get Schroeder or McCollum early in the draft, we should take BPA at #14 and look at Wolters with #21.
oh ****.

Wolters at 21 just sounds terrible to me. We don't HAVE to draft a pg. focus on bpa.

And we would so much worse with all that than those three guys we traded.
Dallas has been working out a bunch of bigs: Adams, Plumlee, Dieng, Gobert. They also are looking at Schroeder and Carter-Williams, and they like Saric.
Jazz should have an open conversation with Dallas and see what they really want. If not, the Jazz should try to move up in the draft.
That Twitter post about Schroeder might just be Dallas rattling the bushes to try to get Utah, Milwaukee and Boston to make them an offer for #13.
Otherwise, why haven't there been similar tweets saying. "Adams was awesome in his workout at Dallas," or "Dallas loves such and such player."

Why would Dallas show their hand? They could easily ask to swap picks and acquire an asset from us going their way for our assurance of getting Schroeder (if we do in fact want him).
Well, Utah should have that conversation with Dallas. In that conversation it will be clear that Dallas doesn't really want Schroeder. That's showing their hand well enough. The Jazz should be discussing a bunch of trade-up scenarios, not just with Dallas.
I think DAL GM will be clever enough not to make that known with comments like:
"We're exploring many options right now - if you're interested in trading picks, why not take on Marion's contract and we'll talk"
I think that's entirely a possible scenario.
