This idea is probably a non-starter for the Jazz.
I would assume the deal is Keyonte + 1 for Scoot. I do not think anyone drafted lottery this year would go top 4 last year, and I am frankly not certain if anyone drafted in the lottery this year would go top 8 or even top 10 last year. I wouldn't be surprised if one would, but I also would not be surprised if one didn't. I think Scoot pretty clearly has higher upside than Keyonte and the first pick in the draft this year, and we know point guards usually take a bit longer to be good. People are expecting a rookie to contribute to winning, but that rarely, rarely, rarely happens (usually 1 or 2 per draft are actual positives in their minutes).
