Following Potential 2018 Draftees

They also had Porter Jr at 15 lol.

Lol. If his back checks out there's no way he falls past 5. I think Memphis snatches him at 4. Their offense has been weak for years. And they've been searching for an offensive minded SF for years. That's why they gave Chandler Parsons that disastrous contract.

But hey if he was there at 15 I wouldn't mind DL taking a chance and trading up to get him. Assuming that DL felt his back was in good enough shape and he thought his personality would be a good fit. I feel like we're in a position where we could take a big swing.
 
Tony Jones mentioned on Twitter he thinks there are more talented players than KBD available at 21... he’s been very high in Huerter too. I wonder if they talked with him prior to pulling out of the workout.

KBD's positional uniqueness and versatility make him very valuable, especially for the Jazz who have a need, but there are a few guys we've been discussing who likely have more upside.
 
I was surprised Woj and Givony didn't have Okobo in the 1st round. Givony even mentioned that he thinks it's likely Doncic and Musa will be the only two overseas players taken in the 1st.

Someone will clue in on Okobo and take him, imo. It might be us, quite frankly.

They are bad drafters... not sure if they were picking based on their preference or what they think the team prefers.


One thing of note... woj mentioned Denver May package 14 with faried to save $$$$$... we are one of the only teams that can do that on draft night... woj is very clued in on the jazz... Denver may have to do business with us again. Maybe woj was planting a seed for us but I wouldn’t rule out another Utah Denver draft night trade.

Depending on who is available I’d consider giving our pick next year and the unguaranteeds for faried and 14... they save and defer a roster spot.

Man, that would be crazy. Fairied would be serviceable, too. How much pause would they have if it was us to deal with? PR nightmare. Imagine if our big 3 was all gift wrapped from Denver while they miss the playoffs again.

I generally scoff at teams that don’t do the best trade because team X is in their division/conference... but in their case I may just say no.

If that is a deal we wanted to do I’d offer it to the wiz for Gortat and Denver for faried and see if that got me some leverage... I don’t see a big diff from 14/15.

If they don’t move money they will lose Barton and be in the LT unless they stretch a couple guys. Losing Barton would hurt quite a bit... not sure I’d pay a ton of LT for a team that can’t make the playoffs.

Also I like Faried a little. Think offensive rebounding may be a market inefficiency ... his personality worries me a bit... years ago I got the impression he’s not the best teammate in the world.
