My strategy. If the Jazz can't get into the top 8 I would trade back and focus on high upside projects with the only exception being Sensabraugh. Heck, I would spend a future pick to get more projects from the optimal position. Why would I want potentially 4 picks? I want a Gianni's scenario to happen AND I want it to happen this year. I don't want to waste a year of Lauri, Kessler, and Abaji down the line. Give me projects that I can make flourish in two years
It would be cheaper than trading for a super star. Lean into coach Hardy's ability to coach up his players. If you hit on one player then you are top 4 competitive. If you hit on two then you are dynasty with all young players.
And my math based logic follows. If the average value of the draft is 7 picks higher compared to other drafts and you own 2 consecutive picks then an optimal position follows closely to where you control the two picks. It is the equivalent to adding 2 picks to the overall value because you control who is available. If the Jazz have picks 12, 13 then I would want pick 14 as well. And I would trade the '25 Cleveland pick and/or the '25 Utah pick to get that pick (the 14th minus 7 minus 2 would be similar to the 5th pick in an average draft and the Cleveland pick and the Utah is likely in the 20's).
Heck I would do everything to get 4 picks together in the sweet spot of the draft. The stars that develop come from somewhere. Why not take the biggest bite possible out of the deepest draft?
