The Downbeat #1778: Jazz Need Big Man Help?

The Utah Jazz have a great core of Hayward, Burks, Hood, Exum, Favors, Burke, and Gobert. In fact, if the Jazz could play them to the ground Thibodeau style, the Jazz would be one of the top 6 teams in the West. But, as has been discussed on this site before, the Jazz's main objective this season is not the playoffs. It's still very much in development. So what are the Jazz trying to develop?

A Reliable 3rd Big

The Jazz drafted Trey Lyles, signed Tibor Pleiss, accepted Trever Booker's 2nd year, and signed Jeff Withey all with the hope of having a reliable backup big.
