Trading for the #1 pick is the only way we lose in this situation
Dybantsa and Peterson are 1A and 1B in this draft. Both are as close to surefire studs as prospects get. If the wiz take Dybantsa, we throw a party because then we’re getting Daryn freaking Peterson. I think a lot of Jazz fans due to proximity to AJ, have underestimated just how insane of a prospect DP is. But, if they take Peterson, we throw a party because we get Dybantsa!
In a trade scenario, we essentially give up assets to make our potential future no different than it was before, or potentially even worse. It would only show that our front office is clouded by its connection to BYU and Ryan desperately wants his guy.
All this being said, I don’t think the Jazz are wrong for calling the Wizards about the pick. Of course you have to explore every possible avenue. I just hope they don’t do it.
