Well with the season over Utah have something they haven't had in years, a lottery pick. Utah are generally good on draft day, and considering they got John Stockton, Karl Malone and Andrei Kirilenko as huge steals, Utah could be in for someone special this year. Utah will have the 14th pick(their own) and the 16th (Knicks). They lack size, and don't need another SF or PG. So with the 14th,16th and 21st pick in this years draft, who would you take/trade? *If Utah don't have the 16th pick please tell me, but I'm pretty sure they do because of the Keon Clark trade with Phoenix. If you notice something else, please point it out.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">If I'm not mistaken, I believe we have 3 first round picks</div> Thanks, they'll be picking 14th, 16th and 21st. When the trade happened, many thought that Houston wouldn't do this well and because it was a protected pick it would happen at a later date. They get their own pick (14), the worst of Phoenix or New Yorks, which is New York(16) and Houston's (21). They did get some other second rounders, from Sacramento and Phoenix but it's almost impossible to predict who will get picked by who in the 2nd round. Utah's lottery pick is the first in franchise history. Kid Canada- Utah have the 16th pick from New York via Phoenix, and a future conditional Phoenix sceond rounder. Existing trades
Big Man eh??? I dont know much about big men that are gonna be chosen this late in the draft but Jazz might be able to get your hands on Kris Humphries or Marvin Williams. Jazz are really good at getting sleepers AK47, Stockton, Mo Williams and maybe they might get another. They should draft and trade Sebastian Telfair, the kid is Marburys cousin and bball runs in his blood he's from the ghetto and Utah could get a big man for him easily.
Who knows we might get a higher pick than 14 if the ping pong balls drop the right way, but I highly doubt it. Right now if I could pick and I knew he would be avaliable I would take Kris Humphries, another guy to look at if he stays in the draft is Lawerence Roberts from Mississippi State. He is basically a double-double every night in the SEC, but he could return for another season.
Utah are very vulnerable with the Charlotte expansion draft, and putting 3 new first rounders in the team will make the situation worse. So I think Utah should try to trade 2 or all 3 of the picks for a better pick. I'm thinking the 5 - 9 range. If necessary, package Matt Harpring aswell. But I'd prefer to have 2 first rounders, one later one for Kris Humphries. I'm not to sure who Utah should pick, apart from Kris Humphries, but they don't need 3 first rounders and a trade would be a good idea. Edit: NBAdraft.net has Utah taking Kosta Perovic with the 14th pick, JR Smith with the 16 and Kris Humpries with the 21st. I'd like that draft if it happened like that for real.
