    Gets tricky from here on out. I go with Turner here. Versatile, can play either forward spot. Has good range.

      By ‘both forward spots’ I meant the 4 or 5. That didn’t come out right…

     I think Utah is in a good position here. Have young talent at every position – I think Lyles gives them a big that can stretch the floor. Also gives them a versatile big who can play the 3 in bigger lineups and a 4 in smaller lineups.

     Cameron Payne. No way the Pacers pass on Turner, Portis, or Lyles.

    The ball’s going to be in Paul George’s hands a lot anyway. They could have used a pg last year more than next year, with George back. And Hibbert is on the outs with Bird, who publically trashed him.

    Let’s be serious here.

      You really think they can beat the Cavs next post-season with a 30 year George Hill as their only half-decent point guard on the roster? I certainy don’t and I assume that’s still the end goal…

         Larry Bird didn’t indirectly tell George Hill to take a hike like he did to Hibbert. Bird made it clear he doesn’t want Hibbert to take his 15 mil player option.

        Turner, Portis, and Lyles all have center versatility, especially down the road a year or two.

        Then there’s David West. 

        Hinkie only runs one team. Bird isn’t looking to suck for the next 5 years, so he’s not going to pass up a prospect like Turner, Portis, or Kaminsky, or Lyles.

        Point guard is an easier position to fill than PF/C. Rondo would cost like five dollars.

       1. Payne’s already picked.

      2. Why would Utah pick ANOTHER Point Guard. Let’s be real here, the last 3 drafts they would pick a point guard? I don’t think so.

      3. Payne would be a great addition to the Pacers quick style of play. George Hill can’t be the starting PG on a contending team. That’s just not how it works anymore.

      4. Just play the game the right way or don’t play at all. I’m sure that this guy works pretty hard in making this game fun and there’s been a few people like you that have made it not as fun.

      5. I just negged you for the heck of it.

         George Hill already has been the starting point guard for a contending team, einstein. 

        And the Jazz drafting two crappy pgs in a row didn’t solve any problems.

     Frank Kaminsky

    There are several bigs with range on their shot that can fit here, but Kaminsky seems like the right choice as someone who can not only play power forward or center and shoot from outside but also to initiate some of the offense.  

    They have the two great shotblockers, so that isn’t needed as much as other teams so Kaminsky instead of Turner is better here than for other teams.  With Hayward, Hood and Ingles at small forward, someone who can play there as well as power forward, like Lyles, isn’t as big a need.  So Kaminsky with his size and skills and four good years of college works well with Utah’s roster, and they probably want to win now so he isn’t a project like others.

       Well said. Also look at their lineups:

      1. Gobert/???
      2. Favors/Booker
      3. Hayward/Ingles(probably could use a better player here, but Ingles is fine for now, besides they can use their second rounder here)
      4. Burks/Hood
      5. Exum/Burke

      To add to this, if you paid attention during the season, you would have noticed that after the Kanter trade, the Jazz played extremely better. They had the best defensive frontcourt, they had a real scorer in Hayward, and Hood played surprisingly well even though Alec was out for about half of the season. With that being said the Jazz actually came close to making the 8th seed. (it was a two-team race between the Thunder and Pelicans but the Suns and Jazz were not far behind) So the Jazz don’t need much. Kaminsky is a player with not a lot of potential but he can come in right away and provide some help much like Hood was able to his rookie season. 

      Dekker is also a possibility but I think Kaminsky would be a better fit, because the more I watched Ingles, the more I liked him.

     He’s exactly what the jazz are looking for. A stretch 4 or 5 that can give them a different look and play alongside both favors and gobert. Plus he should be able to contribute immediately, which is important for a team that is looking to contend this year.

    Personally I hope they take Lyles, love his versatility and skills but Kaminski or Turner would be great options and good fits also. The Jazz are hard to read and don’t give out any info to give us an idea. They shocked me when they took Hayward and since then I ‘ve been more trusting that they’re pretty good at this game.

    Although I’m pretty sure that if Utah actually found themselves in position to do so, they would probably pick Lyles. 

    But, personally, I prefer the potential of Myles Turner. Just slightly over Oubre.

    And as far as Kaminsky is concerned?  Well, I’d rather not say, actually.

    So, anyways, I’m picking Myles Turner.

    Another toss up. They probably consider 5 guys here (Kaminsky, Turner, Lyles, Oubre, & Dekker) none of which you could argue with them for taking as each can fit their style of play. I personally like Turner to give them a great long-term 3 big rotation. They have a really good player development staff/program up there in Utah and can get a lot out of his skillset backing up both Favors & Gobert. He’ll give them floor spacing and another rim protector in the same player (win-win) and won’t be asked to have major responsibilities early on.

       I agree 100%, I think Portis is the right pick. He adds the versatility, toughness, rebounding, and hustle that the Jazz are looking for. He can play with both Favors and Gobert, and would be an instant impact player off the bench for a young team looking to take the next step.

      Port is is extremely underrated. If I was a GM, I’d probably pick him earlier than 12. What I’ve been trying to do with these threads is pick who I think these teams would pick, not who I think the best player is. When players like Portis and Johnson say they think when all is said and done they will be considered the best player from their draft class, Portis is the only one I really believe may achieve that.

    Young with potential. First big man off the bench. Can play beside Gobert or Favors. I think Kaminsky and Turner are too slow footed to guard power forwards when they play beside Gobert.

    Someone with the Jazz, Spencer Checketts, says he was talking with inside sources of the Jazz (that he would not name, sorry) that the Jazz are most interested in Trey Lyles and Sam Dekker. I think that Trey Lyles makes more sense for the Jazz and I would like him to be the pick.

     Ill go with Lyles. Obviously they would like to integrate a third frontcourt player to complement Gobert and Favors. I think Lyles brings more complementary features than Kaminsky and Turner. Like DMO said I feel they are too slow footed to play alongside these two. Kaminsky and Turner seem like C/PF’s to mee while Lyles is a PF/SF. The Jazz want Tomic or Pleiss to come over next year and don’t need another player at the C position to ruin chemistry that’s the same reason why they traded Kanter.

    Two players I feel will get great consideration are Portis and Dekker.

    The  biggest downfall for Portis is his lack of shot blocking. Favors and Gobert compensate for that. The effort Portis displays and energy he brings is a feature no other prospect in consideration of this pick brings. Someone will fall in love with Portis and pick him sooner than expected and it maybe the Jazz.

    Dekker has the best skill set out of the bunch to play SF and seems like a Jazz type of guy although Lyles also seems like that type of character. Right now I have him going to Utah in my mock as a combo forward that can stretch the floor and help Utah create versatile rotations for their lineup.

    With all that being said I sort of have a feeling none of this will happen and they will just draft Grant in this situation or Payne if he is available. They will likely have a draft and stash big come over and rumours are going around suggesting Millsap may come back to Utah and the Jazz are actively pursuing that. Grant could replace Burke in this situation who is underachieving in Utah.

       I still don’t know if Tomic will ever come over. He was drafted in 2008. The Jazz have been trying for 7 years to get him to come over. That’s along time. I know he’s good and killing it over in Europe, but I think he likes it too much over there. His family likes it there. I know he said he wanted to try the NBA stint after making it in the Euroleagues. He has done that, but realistically, I’ll need to see it to believe it. 

      I would love it if Pliess come over, and the Jazz do have a better shot at him coming over than Tomic, but if the Jazz don’t bring Pliess or Tomic over then they are going to have to stick with basically the same lineups they had after the Kanter trade. I don’t want to see that again, and I don’t think the Jazz want to either. The Jazz need to draft someone who can come in right away and play the backup center position in case both Pliess or Tomic can’t come over. If one of them does come over the Jazz can just stick Kaminsky in the D-league, problem solved and Kaminsky won’t mind going there temporarily. This is why I think realistically Turner or Kaminsky are the pick for the Jazz.

     Frank Kaminsky.  Can play next to either Favors or Rudy Gobert.  He can shoot, score, rebound, and pass.  A perfect stretch 5.

    I can see him being involved in lots of pick and pops.  

    The Jazz would then have a pair of centers who would be completely different and a good change of pace.  Rudy Gobert as a shot blocker and The Human Star Wars Project.

    Frank stretches the floor and scores inside too.  He also takes pressure of Favors.

    RJ Hunter and Sam Dekker would be my backup plans.  Especially if Dekker can play the 3 with Gordon Hayward at the 2.  Maybe not… and, both guys are more streak shooters than pure shooters.  

    If they go with Kaminsky (which I think they should) then they need to look at picking up a shooting guard later in the draft (either with their own pick or a pick they buy).

     No matter what the Jazz do in the draft, watch out for them next year.  They were really, really tough the last part of the year, and Rudy Gobert is somone you absolutely have to game plan against.

    Getting uncontested layups better not be your strategy on offense against Utah.

    Now, trying to gameplan for Rudy AND Frank the Tank?  

    Get the guy just to have the two best nickname centers in the business: The Stifle Tower and Frank the Tank.

    I guess the rest of their nickname roster would be Party, Comissioner, and The Inferno.

    i’ll say Turner. It’s between him Lyles and Kaminsky but I think Turner has the most upside
