But a bird in hand is worth two in a bush. Each draft pick is a gamble. You can have 20 picks and have none of them become all stars. Unfortunately, the trade market for acquiring a star isn't good this summer. It makes no sense to be mediocre this next season (unless a couple of the 6 young dudes show real signs of becoming stars). My preference is to extend Lauri. But that should only be done if he agrees to sit a lot of games and the Jazz feel very confident they can pair him with a super star within the next few years.
