The reason we should go big with #3

[BENTLEY]

True. I do think more than likely we will have one of those picks. I see the Warriors improving, but not making the playoffs. Not with Jackson as coach. If I had to guess, I would say the pick will be around 10, and we could package that with Al or Harris to move up.

This.

This draft is like a mirror to me, very much give and take, whatever you do at 3 instantly reflects what will happen and who will be there at 12.

If the Jazz go Kanter at 3, then Cavs probably take Valanciunas at 4 and you'll see guy like Biyombo get taken earlier than the Jazz. That also means that it is very likely that one of Jimmer or Walker will be there at 12.

If you go Knight at 3, then the Cavs take Kanter, moving Valanciunas down, and Biyombo so the likelihood of one of those guys being there at 12 jumps considerably.

The Jazz will have to have a strategy planned going in beyond taking the BPA.

And the Knee injury concerns for Kanter have long been put to sleep, they are a non issue.

Nice insight.
