2017 NBA Draft picks put Utah Jazz in awkward position

In this year’s draft, mastermind Dennis Lindsey managed to turn the 24th pick and Trey Lyles into a promising star in Donovan Mitchell. He also used picks 30 and 42 to move up and selected UNC product Tony Bradley at No. 28. The Jazz went on to sign off on their successful night by drafting NBA-ready point guard, Nigel Williams-Goss.

That all sounds great and the three players the Jazz chose can all contribute in the short-term, but since the Jazz are now a playoff team, finding minutes for these guys will be a problem.
