Jazz Try to Move Up to Grab Lillard?

Posted By HOOPSWORLD On June 27, 2012 @ 2:50 pm In All,Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments

Fear not, Jazz fans. GM Kevin O’Connor is exploring ways to move up in the draft. They have the Warriors’ pick in 2013 (top-six-protected) and veterans like Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson and Devin Harris, and they might even be willing to add another young player (as long as you don’t ask for Derrick Favors or Enes Kanter).

The question is, how high can they go? Their presumed target is Weber State’s (Damian) Lillard. They need a point guard and know him better than any team in the league. But if they could get higher and get an even better prospect, they would. They like (Bradley) Beal and (Michael) Kidd-Gilchrist a lot, too.
