Bigs

The Jazz could be filling two holes this off-season – Jeff Withey and potentially Boris Diaw (who has a higher trade value because of his current contract). If Derrick Favors can remain healthy and if Trey Lyles can overcome his sophomore slump, then the large chunk of the minutes are taken care of.

That still leaves 10-15 minutes a night though. It would be nice to think Joel Bolomboy could take those minutes, but another big body would be nice.

Here are three big bodies who are projected to be available when the Jazz select, and fit the mindset and culture of the organization.
