1. Jazz trade-up for 2nd lottery pick

Utah wants to package 16 and 28 for another lottery selection. How far can the Jazz move up? The Hawks and Pelicans appear eager to make a trade, but is 14 overall high enough for Utah to get the prospect they want? The Jazz could be looking to trade with the Mavericks at ten, but it may cost them a future first-rounder to move up that far.

Fans should be rooting for Utah to jump into the lottery. They could walk away with a skilled point guard and wing as tent poles of their rebuild. The Jazz would love to select Bilal Coulibaly and a Cason Wallace-type point guard. Danny Ainge will shoot for upside as he looks to land a star to anchor his roster.

The Utah Jazz will be active and aggressive in the 2023 NBA Draft. What moves can they make? It will be fascinating to watch, and fans should be rooting for the franchise to get two skilled prospects that they believe in. They can enjoy them in summer league and get excited about the future.

Utah already has two skilled big men, so adding a guard and a wing could be a special foundation that gets them back to the playoffs in short order. Will the Jazz trade up in the 2023 NBA Draft? Who do they select in the lottery? It will be an exciting night, so please, tune in and enjoy the show.
