2016- Yet another long off-season

[El Kabong]

Pick #12 in the draft

Not opposed to trading it at all, but hopefully they can add some more shooting and grab someone like Denzel Valentine or Furkan Korkmaz to the backcourt. Both sound like they've got some ball handling skills too. Both solid size too at 6'6-6'7, so saves playing can't shoot, undersized Burke again.

Can't see Burke on the team.

I think they'll look for a starting guard or at least a rotation player. They do have some cap room to do something with the draft pick but I'd guess they'll wait until free agency starts when there will be more options. Whomever they draft I hope they don't expect him to play at least until later in the season. Exum, Hood and Lyles weren't ready when their rookie seasons started and Hood was a seasoned collegiate even.

Can't say I'll miss you Steve Brown though he'd be better in Boler's chair.

Do they go for someone like Michigan State's Denzel Valentine? He's a versatile wing who the Jazz feel can step in and play right away. Or do the Jazz draft a project like Washington's Marquese Chriss? He is a few years away, but has star upside.

"We definitely feel like there are guys at 12 who can come in and help us right away," Jazz VP of Player Personnel Walt Perrin said. "We'll know a lot more by the time the draft gets closer."

If by right away they mean by the end of next season than that's might be the case. None of Exum, Hood or Lyles were ready at the beginning of their rookie years to play at the NBA level.

For the Jazz, the time has come to win.

That time was this year. They blew it. Quit blaming it all on injuries.

But if Utah takes him, the Jazz likely need to add wing help through free agency.

They need to add a veteran rotation player regardless of the draft and not necessarily a wing.
