Mine is just like this except I swap oubre and turners positions.
 
No KAT, Jahlil, Russell, Mudiay, Winslow, Porz, Hezonja, WCS- Would be happy to have almost all of them. Mudiay/Jahlil being the two I don't love, but they'd obviously be too talented to pass on.

I'm ecstatic, absolutely love our pick:- Turner seems like the best bet at this point, would secure our rim protection and give us a bit of spacing. Johnson is the only guy in our range I could really see being a real star level player.
Johnson
Turner

Could be better, but I like it:- Kaminsky strikes me as the low risk/reward version of Turner, certainly wouldn't mind it. Oubre has a lot of talent but I don't fully trust it. Looney seems like a safe backup forward pick, could develop into a bit more, will defend and rebound regardless.
Kaminsky
Oubre
Looney

I don't hate it but... damn... really?- I like RHJ, but we don't need a wing that can't shoot. Dekker I don't mind I just can't see him as anything other than a solid bench guy, same for Portis. (Bench as in not like a 3-rotation big guy type bench guy)
RHJ
Portis
Dekker

I kind of do hate it, I hope DL knows what he's doing- The PG's just don't really make sense (though Grant I could maybe see). Don't really like Lyles game. Anderson seems like a big reach.
Grant
Lyles
Anderson
Payne
Jones
 
I'm ecstatic, absolutely love our pick:
Myles Turner
Kelly Oubre

Could be better, but I like it:
Frank Kaminsky
Devin Booker
Kevon Looney
Stanley Johnson

I don't hate it but... damn... really?
Bobby Portis

I kind of do hate it, I hope DL knows what he's doing
Willie Cauley-Stein
Trey Lyles
Cameron Payne
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
Sam Dekker
Jerian Grant
RJ Hunter
Tyus Jones

As I dont follow them all I'll keep it short-
Be over the moon if we trade up, be happy with Turner, Booker, Johnson
 
Bump! Come on guys... 2 days to the draft. Lets see who you would prefer for the Jazz to take.

If the Jazz trade back a bit I'm on the RHJ bandwagon. If the coaches can improve his shot he is a fantastic player. Don't like him at 12 though.
 
Ecstatic with no one in realistic range. (Unless Winslow fell, ya right)

Could be interesting piece - Frank, Stan

Meh - Oubre, Turner, WCS, Portis, Lyles, Booker, Lyles, Payne, Looney

My makes-no-sense-but-I-just-hate-them - Looney and Turner
 
Outside of replacing Trey (which ain't gonna happen...and I know I just made colton's head explode), the Jazz probably need a big the most. I'm happy with the wings; Jazz have three + Jingles and Millsap. But Utah has only Booker behind the starters. I'd be happy with Turner or WCS. Not unhappy if they trade down for Portis.
 
-I'm ecstatic, absolutely love our pick
Ace Bailey or Dylan Harper
-Could be better, but I like it
Tre Johnson or VJ Edgecombe
-I don't hate it but... damn... really?
Jeremiah Fears
-I kinda do hate it, I hope DL knows what he's doing
Anyone else
 
I'm expecting the Jazz to draft Ace or Tre. If those guys aren't available at #5 and the Jazz decide they want Edgecombe or Fears, I'd try to make peace with it. To me there are 4 clear talents at the top of this draft, and if there's a 5th it might actually be Essengue ahead of Edgecombe, Fears and Kon, imo. I'm still waiting for the Euros to finish their season and engage in the pre-draft process.

If the Jazz somehow made a bold move and got Harper, I'd be amazed.

If the Jazz ended up with Kon Knueppel, I'd be disappointed. Kon is a great shooter, but as far as the intangibles are concerned it wouldn't surprise me if Hugo Gonzales is actually just as good a player.
