• The Jazz own the No. 21 and No. 52 picks and VP of player personnel Walt Perrinsaid the team is leaning toward developmental players with upside, Ryan McDonald of Deseret News reports. “I think next year with the majority hopefully of our team coming back, if not all of them, you look at more upside,” Perrin told McDonald. “You’re looking more at, ‘Can we bring this player in and work with him, probably play him a little bit with the [G League’s Salt Lake City] Stars, and how much better can we get him in, say, two or three years?’”

What names come to mind after hearing this?

 Troy Brown, Simons, maybe Jontay?

Kevin Huerter is someone who seems like the type of player the jazz like to mold.  

[The GoatParticipant]

 A really raw big or a very young, inexperienced guy, perhaps someone from overseas

Mitchell Robinson

Anfernee Simons

Elie Okobo

Hamidou Diallo

Kostas Antentokoumpo

Interesting news. With Favors almost guaranteed to leave the team in free agency, I would’ve thought they’d be targeting a low-risk/low-reward PF prospect at 21. However, a comment like that would seem to indicate they may use that pick to replace Exum, who was also deemed an “experimental” pick, with someone like Brown or Simons. If Lindell Wigginton stays in, he could be in the conversation as well.

 i am not so sure favors is leaving. both sides are very open for a return. and the jazz are willing to spend money. but i guess it depends on what his market is. as for exum if he is cheap they will keep him

 The need to deal favors. Trey Lyles would be a nice fit at the 4 for them.

 I dont believe anything these GM’s say. Even they dont know whats gonna happen.

 Need to target shooters to put around Mitchell and defenders who can guard multiple spots.  Can’t have Mitchell checking best player series after series 

[Captain LParticipant]

 DeVicenzo & Hueter would be my top 2 picks, versitale , good shooters, good athletes, smart, good fit. 

Lindsey always finds a way to make something happen, internal development will be the main emphasis this off season. Especially,  Exum & Royce
