    "Weber State's Damian Lillard in a Jazz uniform? Paul Millsap, Devin Harris or Al Jefferson as the centerpiece of a blockbuster trade? Or just playing it safe, remaining at No. 47 overall and selecting the best available player on the board?

    Once again, Jazz General Manager Kevin O'Connor has major decisions to make. And with the 2012 NBA Draft set to tip off 5 p.m. Thursday in Newark, N.J., Utah has multiple options but no clear path.

    The simple route: Get everything possible out of the 47th pick and add another talented athlete to a roster highlighted by youngsters Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks and Enes Kanter. O'Connor has done it before, stealing Millsap and Mo Williams late in the second round, as the Jazz watched a player high on their draft board quietly fall into their hands."
