NBA Mock Draft: Utah Jazz trade for #22, draft Trey Lyles from Kentucky

NBA Mock Draft Pick #22 -- Trey Lyles, Forward, Kentucky

Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets make a trade:
BKN - 2015 #42 (UTA), 2017 1st (UTA), 2017 2nd (NYK), $3 million in cash considerations
UTA - 2015 #29 (BKN), Deron Williams

Utah Jazz and Chicao Bulls make a trade:
CHI - 2015 #29 (BKN), 2016 2nd (better of BOS or TOR), 2016 2nd (UTA), 2017 2nd (UTA), Trey Burke, Elijah Millsap
UTA - 2015 #22 (CHI), E'twaun Moore, Cameron Bairstow

SB Nation's Jazz blog, SLC Dunk, explains the pick & trade:

In a desperate attempt to move up into Kevon Looney range the Jazz needed a late 1st rounder, which they got in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets; and coupled that with a number of assets and went door to door trying to move up. Though Looney was not to be, Utah did find a willing trade partner in the Chicago Bulls. The Jazz moved the pick they got from the Nets, and a combination of players and future picks, for the #22 and some non-guaranteed players. This trade will be completed after Free Agency has begun.

Utah receives two players on non-guaranteed contracts back, E'twaun Moore and Cameron Bairstow - and will cut them both. Though, it wouldn't be awful for the Jazz to keep the power forward Bairstow, a fellow Aussie to Dante Exum and Joe Ingles. His sister also plays basketball at Utah State University. But the real prize here is the #22 pick. It's not the #19 that got Looney, but it did get the Jazz a very solid power forward prospect in Trey Lyles.

Lyles has that Carlos Boozer range and can be a floor spacing stretch big down the line. The Canadian bigman is also active on the offensive boards, and on a team that relies so much on 2nd chance points that will be appreciated. Trey runs the floor and finishes above the rim, but most importantly, knows how to pass and seems adept at it. Entering this draft I was focused on upgrading the bench bigman rotation from Trevor Booker, Jack Cooley, and Jeremy Evans. With #22 Lyles and #9 pick Myles Turner I think I've done just that.
