Here is how I hope the Jazz roster will shake out after free agency and draft have worked themselves out.
PG--Jarrett Jack (FA)--Shane Larkin (DP)--Isaiah Canaan (DP)
SG--Kyle Korver (FA)--Alec Burks--Kevin Murphy (D-League)
SF--Gordon Hayward--Marvin Williams--JJ Hickson (FA)
PF--Derrick Favors--Jeremy Evans
C--Al Jefferson--Enes Kanter--Kenny Kadji (DP, D-League)
If you are going to draft a PG at #14, you need to sign someone who can act as a mentor. That is what I hope that Jarrett Jack can do for Shane Larkin or whomever the Jazz get at the point. The Jazz need some perimeter help, someone who can play at the wing an bury a long shot or two. Kyle Korver fits the bill here and so does JJ Hickson. Either could be brought in with a mid-level exception.
I see the Jazz keeping either Jefferson or Milsap for 2013, but not both. One of those two big men will be left to walk in Free Agency, especially if someone like Kenny Kadji is available with the later first round draft pick. I would also expect, as the season rolls on, that if the Jazz don't look like playoff contenders that whomever the Jazz keep will be shopped-out on the trade market to improve the team's position for 2014.
