maybe or maybe not, but that's beside the point since the jazz will probably be picking in a range where they're unlikely to find a franchise-changin player at any position. having a young core that has some playoff experience is better than having an even younger core with no playoff experience but one more guy.
Picking in the lottery may very well produce a player that can take us over the hump. I think we can wait one more year for the playoffs. The big thing is for the young guys to get more playing time next season. Not to play a few minutes in the playoffs this year.
