![]() They are rumored to be high on both guys - but recent trades (one to make room at the wing by getting rid of Lance Stephenson, and another to fill up that spot with Nicolas Batum) make you feel like they will look to go big. Frank may be gone at #9 though, to the Hornets. He's not the best athlete in the world, but Myles Turner isn't either. ![]() His game is solid, and much more advanced than a lot of the other bigmen in this draft. And honestly I think what hurts him is his skin color. Frank is better than the general consensus opinion here. I just like that kid, and even if he's not as good an outside shooter as I think he is, people like Pelton have ranked him higher than Frank as a potential NBA stretch big. Of the players listed here I am most bullish on Turner. I'm the odd ball who wants to at least have Dante Exum and Trey Burke reach the age of 23/24 before firing them out of a cannon into the sun. ![]() Lots of experts want the Jazz to upgrade their PG spot, either in free agency or the draft. You don't see a lot of point guards here, and that's a product of this draft class. Of course, if this is a "best player available" deal, then go for it. There could be some good wings available too however, of all the places on our roster to worry about wing isn't where you should start. Utah could end up with a bigman to help out Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert, which in my opinion is the greatest need. You can't go wrong with the people on the board at 12 as the higher risk guys would have gone in the Top 10. ![]() I think that whatever the Jazz do with the #12, including the unconventional idea of using it for a player, will be fine with me. There were five players who got two votes to join the Jazz, and another five who had single votes: Probably Myles Turner (Texas), Frank Kaminsky (Wisconsin), or Devin Booker (Kentucky) if you are going by what the experts say. With the #12th pick of the 2015 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz select. So after pouring over 41 different mock drafts / big boards here's what the experts have to say: Of course, I do believe that the Utah Jazz, with a legion of future picks (including three this year) and a number of low cost assets are ready to make a deal at any moment.īut until that moment becomes reality it's my duty to go over the #12, #42, and #54 picks like we're actually going to be flying three players from those spots to the #801 in about 24 hours. So unless it goes beyond a non-established news breaker saying "sources", I'm not going to believe it. After all, he's been bombing actual real trades for the last few hours, trades that actually happen. I sat behind Woj at last year's draft and that guy knows what's up. Will they trade up? Will they trade down? Is Trey Burke being shopped? Is Derrick Favors being sent away to make room for Paul Millsap 's return? At this time of the year, unless it happens, I'm not going to put a lot of stock into any rumors that come out. And I’d say the same thing for myself.The NBA Draft is only hours away, and the Utah Jazz are involved in a whole bunch of rumors right now. People ask me this all the time like ‘what happened there?’ I’m like he didn’t change, it wasn’t like he magically just acquired some skill like he had been working on this the whole time, like this is the player that he has been working to become this whole time, he gets the opportunity and ‘Boom!’, he was prepared for it. He’s a guy that’s always in the gym, always working, always advancing, always looking for ways to get better, he was on the ground and he’s a film guy too so he’s taking everything that he’s working on and he’s learning from it and he’s getting better so you put him in Brooklyn where he has a chance to really fully show what he what he can do and he was just ready for that opportunity, plain and simple. So we finally get everybody back we play one game against Brooklyn with our starting lineup, the first time since early November that we played it before the trade, so obviously you give Mikal all that freedom leading up to that. Cameron Johnson: We had a lot of guys missing so there was a huge chunk of the season where Mikal was relied on a ton to do a lot of things you know be an engine of the team, so it was a great opportunity for him to take everything that he’s ever worked on and just put it into practice.
