You know how Walt and DL said that this year there are twice the number of players in consideration for the Jazz pick. Well now we know why #LockeWatch is giving up so many mixed signals. I still think the list is something along the lines of - Huerter, Allen, Musa, Wagner, Melvin Frazier
I knew those three off the top of my head and after doing a little research it looks like we didn’t work him out either.

I think Wagner was out of his top five as of his newest pod. Musa was lower too, I think he said he cooled on him. Seems like there's gonna be a lot of choices...doesn't look like we're gonna make a trade :/

This year the Jazz may have more of a draft dartboard instead of a draft board. Just close your eyes and throw a dart at the names on the list. Unless someone slides, there might be a dozen prospects separated by a collective eyelash. I think the argument may be due you take a player who can contribute right away off the bench, or do you draft a young prospect who needs time to develop (at least you hope he develops).
About Wagner... I don't get it. Drafting yet another center! How many centers do we need? Good, he can stretch the floor? What is the ceiling to this pick? Do we realize that the BEST CASE scenario is he plays 15 minutes a game! Is this what we are aiming for with this pick? Do we expect him to overtake Gobert any time soon? WTF? You can get 15 minutes a game centers in the league for close to nothing in FA.
Have we given up on Bradley already? A year after spending 2 good picks on him? This makes no sense?

If their not sure, trade the **** down.
My guess is that the Jazz like guys whom Locke hasn't mentioned--Hutchison, Okobo, Okogie, Brown, KBD, etc. He's pimping guys that are below our range.
He seems to have changed his mind again. He was on Talkin' Sports tonight with Dave Fox and he listed his top 4:
1.Wagner
2.Huerter
3.Allen
4.Donte D
My prediction
We stay at 21 and take one of the following... Okobo, Donte D, Brown, Musa, Huerter or KBD
Then we trade up into the 25-40 range to take someone else. My guess is Melvin Frazier. I really think the Jazz are high on Frazier and keeping it on the low. I wouldn't be stunned if they took him at 21.

This is usually not his MO. He usually spills everything the way it is.

Someone on a pod I was listening to today (can't rememeber which one...maybe KOC on the Ringer NBA Show?) said Okogie is low-key rising a lot on some teams's boards.
Wagner number 1? SMH
