How Much Value the Utah Jazz Lost Dropping to 10th in the Draft

Sunday was a pretty disappointing day for Jazz Nation. After tanking the latter portion of the season, the Jazz had fairly good odds to jump into the top 4 of the 2024 NBA draft. Instead, they dropped not one but two slots to the #10 spot.

This was, in my opinion, the worst-case outcome going into the lottery. Not only did the Jazz not improve their draft position, but they actually ended up with the worst possible pick while still owing the OKC Thunder a first rounder thanks to the disastrous Derrick Favors salary dump.

It was bad all around.
