Utah Jazz looking to move up from the 12th pick

I would guess K.O.C. doesn’t lose many poker games… if he plays. He and the front office keep thoughts not just close to the vest, but in a sealed envelope tucked in a straitjacket!
That being said, some ideas/thoughts have slowly leaked… from as simple as them liking B. Knight at the 3rd pick, to the desire to move the third pick (up or down).

An additional piece has now been leaked…

Yesterday from a very reliable source that had a conversation with one of the decision makers from the Jazz “think tank” says Utah is actively looking to move UP from the 12th pick and are willing to move C.J. Miles and/or Raja Bell to do so!

This information coming after the Kemba/Jimmer work-out, in which has been expressed that Jimmer had the upper hand. With Jimmer looking to be a 6-12th pick now after the rapid climb he has made due mostly to outstanding workouts with Utah, NY, Phoenix, and Indiana and in part to the superb showing at the combine, Utah moving up might be to capture the Jimmer!

Other possibilities may be Biyombo or Jan Vesely.

Bottom line; this ain’t your grandpas Jazz team. With Jerry gone, we are discovering that he may have had even hold on the decision makers. Could K.O.C. be known as a yearly wheeler and dealer in five years?

Cody-
Yea, I agree. It will be a pretty wild ride as a Jazz fan. I think Jazz nation is ready for all this - sometimes you have to have a few "less than" seasons to develop young talent.

Interesting thought: What if the "move up" includes the third pick... for the 2nd?
