Denver doesn't have need for another center

Considering they have a rookie center starting and Javale Mcgee who will be on an expiring contract I believe they do and granted I like Nurkic alot. It is not always about need either but they do indeed need a center.

They also have the rights to Nikola Jokic, a euro-stash who is playing really well. FO loves hims and he should be ready (contract-wise) to come over when McGee's contract is up. Poetl isn't bad value, but lottery picks are usually expected to be starters not backups and Nurkic is looking like a BEAST.

Personally I'd take Lyles, Looney or Wright over Poetl for the Nuggets.

Denver has had a bunch of bigs (even traded away one this year), I don't think they are interested in drafting another big unless they think he will be a stud.

Stanley and Myles sounds like a great haul for the Sixers to me.

Utah will probably draft the best wing available unless there is someone the fo is convinced will be a star.

76ers are in a good position again, looking at 3 straight years possibly with 2 lottery picks. At the very least 1 top pick and 1 mid 1st.

I think they would draft Towns if he is sitting there on draft night. They already have Hayward and Burks signed to extensions.

Gobert, Favors and Hayward are the cornerstones of our franchise. I don't know that Towns is good enough to justify the fact that he would be competing with both Rudy and Derrick. I'd rather draft Hezonja or Winslow, or else trade down. It sucks for the Jazz that all the best players in this draft are post players.

I rather Hezonja as well but I dont think they would pass on Towns, just my opinon.

Jazz are not drafting Turner in this scenario. We have told Ante Tomic we will buy out his contract, so our front court is pretty much set in stone. Give us the best wing available.

Here we go again. First they werent drafting Towns at 6, now they wont draft Turner at 11. Why dont you tell me then who they will draft, maybe I will make a mock 3.1 just for you.

Towns I can see more than Turner. He is clearly the most talented player at that point in the draft. Turner isn't, and there are a lot of quality wings at that point. What would we do if we drafted him? Is he all that likely to be better than Gobert or Favors? Jerian Grant, Devin Booker, Kelly Oubre, Mario Henzonja, Stanley Johnson, etc. etc. are all better choices for the Jazz than Turner.

Since Oubre, Hezonja, and Johnson are all gone in the mock I guess you believe Grant or Booker should be the pick. I dont see them passing on Turner for either but alright.

It's your mock, do what you want. I'm just telling you that the last thing the Jazz need is another center. It's the only position where even drafting a backup doesn't make much sense for us.

Most international prospects have been left off my big board due to not having seen them play yet.

When I saw Russell at 11, you lost all credibility with me...don't have to read any more of your mocks....
