Utah should pay draft up to Washington to swap picks.

Dybantsa actually wants to be in Utah, and is elite. that is RARE.

Boozer in Memphis seems like the perfect pairing. I also read where Brown has been very impressive in workouts. Dont think he falls past Brooklyn at 6.

It is. I think Boozer would be fine with Utah long-term too, so that might factor into why he's in play.

Has anyone heard of Caleb Wilson doing any team workouts? Like, at all?

Peterson showed some red flags and Kansas which is the only reason he isn't the consensus #1 but he seems confident that he's going to Washington, I wonder if that is as the #1 pick or by an unannounced trade with Utah that nets them Dybantsa. Could be posturing though

I don't think the Jazz will offer much to move up, and I don't think Washington will trade out of #1.

Agreed

My suspicion is Boozer will become a star player. If Wizards refuse to move Dybantsa and I'm Jazz GM I probably opt to draft Boozer over Peterson, who has a ton of red flags.

According to Jeff Fischer MBJ and Wagler are pretty much locked at 5/6 now. Meaning Kings likely will get Acuff even without a trade.

Him and Marc Stein (whom he works for) have been the premier draft news of this cycle by A LOT with the daily newsletter. He's legit as a source. Also even IF he somehow wasn't he's not the only one saying it.

It almost feels like he's just locked into the 4 spot. There's more drama amongst the top 3 and from 5 on

Jazz worked out Boozer, Acuff and Brown, and they at least met with AJ. They've talked with Peterson's camp on the phone. No mention of Wilson.

Can't wait for tomorrow 8-)

Sounds like they want a player who can shoot. That's the current knock on Wilson

I have a small glimmer of hope Weltman does something.

Peterson had some kind of last-minute visit with the Jazz over the weekend per a couple of sources (incl. Bill Simmons). Not sure if he worked out or just interviewed. It's sounding like AJ goes 1 and Peterson goes 2.
