2011 NBA Mock Draft: Every Selection for All 30 Teams, What Will Jazz Do?

The Utah Jazz weren't expecting to come out of the draft lottery with a top three selection, but now that they have one, the team has a very legitimate chance to improve their roster in a big way with an impact selection.

Assuming that Irving and Kanter are the top two picks in the draft, it should be a no-brainer that the Jazz make Derrick Williams the pick. They need to desperately move on from the Andrei Kirilenko era after he's been a disappointment in recent seasons, and Williams would provide an imposing front line alongside Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson.


If the team decides to move in a different direction, they could draft a European talent like Donatas Motiejunas and develop him overseas in the case of an impending lockout.

Jonas Valanciunas is another logical target for the club, as well as the uber-talented Jan Vesely.

The Jazz have a history of surprising everyone with their lottery choices, and this season may not be much different.
