We got Sterling Brown in, at least according to one of these pictures from the past couple weeks. I'm surprised we haven't seen Frank Jackson. Or, if we have, in not aware of it.

Jackson was scheduled to come in on a Saturday but had to cancel due to his injury.

It looks like that will conclude the 2017 draft work-outs.

Although he wouldn’t guarantee it for absolute certain, Utah Jazz vice president of player personnel Walt Perrin said Saturday that the team had more than likely concluded the workout phase of the predraft process.

Now onto the Jazz Big Board:

Perrin said Utah ranks prospects from top to bottom, but also uses a tier system in which it groups players together.

Without revealing specifics, Perrin indicated there are about 20 players whom the Jazz, picking for the first time at No. 24 on Thursday should they not make a trade involving the selection, likely won’t have a shot at.

From there, Lindsey, Perrin and company will identify a group of prospects who will likely be available at No. 24 and at No. 30 when the team chooses for the second time. Groups of players who are expected to be on the board at No. 42 and then at No. 55 are also identified.

My gut tells me we draft Wilson at 24, trade 30 and Burks to a team who wants an extra pick and can take on some salary, and draft a Euro and someone is else in the 2nd.
 
I'd speculate that the Jazz likely have had a deal on the table that would bring them back a draft pick in the mid-late teens, which is why they were able to get a workout with Mitchell. Mitchell has since ascended out of reach.

There are a bunch of teams outside the top 10 that aren't excited about their draft position. Several teams are reportedly reluctant to draft a big--incl. Charlotte, Detroit, Indiana, Miami, Chicago and OKC. Any one of those teams are candidates to move their pick. Indiana is probably now going into rebuild mode given the Paul George situation.

It's possible some agents aren't excited about their player getting lost amidst Utah's front-court depth. Still, I'm surprised the Jazz didn't bring in Terrance Ferguson.

Kind of surprised we're working out Dotson considering his past and what Lindsay has said about those kinds of things. I know he was acquitted, but I've read the police report and it...wasn't great.

We haven't had a sketchy pick since Robert Whaley. It's time to pull the trigger DL.

I agree, but I don't recall him doing any workouts. Very possible I missed them, do you know who he has worked out for?

Ehh, he is pretty exciting when you think about his length potential combined with Gobert. I'm not a fan either, but I see the logic behind taking him at 24.
