Most draft projections have the Jazz taking any of the following if they pick at 4:
- Embiid C
- Exum PG/SG
- Randle PF
- Parker SF (not seeing that one)
Considering the supposed deep, talented draft this year and Lindsey calling the shots, are the Jazz going to be keyed on their most pressing need or will they take the "best asset available" approach? Speaking of their biggest need, what position is their most pressing need? With a Embiid or Randle pick (whom I think are both terribly talented) would that setup a possible Kanter or Favors trade? I personally think the biggest need is along the SF/SG lines. Would Hayward's play improve in a different system and/or with better players around him? Would the Jazz put him on the trade block depending on their picks and FA dealings this year?
One aspect the "experts" rarely give much insight to is defensive talent. I'd love a defensive analysis of every draft prospect since the Jazz (and any other team for that matter) would benefit from improving defensively. My guess is Randle and Exum would hold their own defensively but don't know about Embiid and have my doubts about Parker.
Thoughts? Opinions?
