C’mon this should be fun to see who you have surviving and thriving in the Jazz rotation this season.

I’ll go first: Your only allowed to ridicule if you also post your own projected depth chart. Remember, this is probably going to morph and refine throughout the season as well -going for final “most successful” here.
1.
PG Colin Sexton
SG Ace Bailey
C Walker Kessler
SF Laurie Markannen
PF John Collins
2.
PG Isaiah Collier
SG Keyonte George
C Kyle Filipowski
SF Brice Sensabaugh
PF Taylor Hendricks
3
PG Walter Clayton Jr
SG Svi Mykhailuk
C Oscar Tshiebwe
SF Cody Williams/ Johnny Juzang
PF Kenyan Martin Jr

Whatcha got?

There's zero chance Collins and Sexton are on this roster by the start of the season, they have to be traded to a team trying to win or their agents are going to lose their minds. This is their last significant contract, they can't be resting 35 games.

We may have to get rid of Sexton for 0 or negative value just because the market situation for him is really bad, but neither guy is going to be on the roster.
 
1st Team:

PG: Isaiah Collier
SG: Ace Bailey
SF: Lauri Markkanen
PF: Kyle Flipowski
C: Walter Kessler

2nd Team:

PG: Walter Clayton Jr.
SG: Keyonte George
SF: Brice Sensabaugh
PF: Taylor Hendricks
C: Micah Potter

This presumes Collins/Sexton/Clarkson are moved. Would be surprised if we don't bring someone back to take Potter's place. Most interesting minutes battle to me is PG.

Other interesting thing is how many minutes are left for Cody to prove himself and if Tshiebwe's stats can continue in the stratosphere, forcing some playing time.

Very good chance we have to rely on lottery luck to keep our pick as there is actually a lot of talent here, even if it is very young.

What, you didn’t see this? Or maybe you just don’t believe it!

Will the Utah Jazz tank again? Austin Ainge says, 'You won't see that next year."

The Jazz's new president of basketball operations said that the team is not going to manipulate minutes to get better lottery odds.

Pretty sure the FO has been attempting to make deals ever since Austin rolled in, and probably before. One of the hazards of tanking is that everyone, including other teams FO’s think you suck. We ain’t getting off either Collins or Sexton lest we get a fair and/or cost cutting offer. Clarkson OTOH may be a buyout candidate IMO.

Addendum- that first team is ridiculously tall...

Good points all, maybe we pick up a pick in a trade - not like we really need it! We got so much talent coming to camp this year - might have to stash some of it. Surprised that you also project Bailey at the two! I see another ANT only longer and hopefully more clutch!

SG/SF maybe even PF pretty interchangeable with this crew and team philosophy- lots of long players with ball handling skills, even if the passing is mid (other than Flip.) Those seem to me the best 5, so get them on the floor together and see if it works...

Need to see the roster. There's probably going to be some shakeup in addition to trying to move Collins, Sexton and Clarkson.

I see your point but part of the challenge is predicting who you believe will be available on day one of the regular season. I predict Collins and Sexton are not moved before the season starts.
 
My hope:

1st five:

PG: Collier
SG: Keyonte
SF: Bailey
PF: Markkanen
C: Kessler

2nd:

PG: Clayton Jr.
SG: Williams
SF: Sensabaugh
PF: Hendricks
C: Filipowski

Moved: Collins, Sexton, Clarkson
 
Let's take Sexton, Clarkson and Collins out for the moment.

Kessler / Hendricks (min restr.) / vet. free agent
Filipowski / Hendricks (min. restr.) / Tshibwe
Lauri / Brice / Williams
Ace / Keyonte / Williams
Collier / Clayton Jr.

Fair enough. Haven’t heard hardly a peep in this or the other offshoot thread about Tonje, Murrell, Luis, Crowell or Miguel. They all look like super stud high flyers in highlights reels, there’s gotta be a keeper or two in that mix!

Luis already has a 2-way contract, although those are easy to rescind. Assume Tonje gets a 2-way as well. The other guy we aren't mentioning is Elijah Harkless.
 
There should be some fun competitions for different spots, roles and minutes for these young guys in summer league and training camp.

Collier vs. WCJ vs. Key

Bailey vs. Hendricks vs. Sensabaugh vs. Cody

What role does Filipowski fill (4 or 5) moving forward?

Do they extend or trade Kessler?
