Utah Jazz draft
The Utah Jazz have a busy summer in front of them. Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, and Mehmet Okur can all opt out of their contracts. So, they have to convince all 3 to stay. Paul Millsap is a restricted free agent, so they can match offers to keep him. Ronnie Price and Brevin Knight are backup guards who are unrestricted free agents. Keeping the starters is very important to the future of the Jazz. But, today is the draft, which is also a key to the future. Or, is it? The Jazz have the 20th and 50th picks in this year's draft. In the past 14 years the 20th pick has produced 2 starters and 6 bench players. That's almost a 50% chance that the Jazz won't find anyone with this pick. The 50th pick has produced 3 bench players. So, the past shows that the Jazz may not get much from this position.
