I am a big Jazz fan and Jazz management is desperate to draft a shooting guard in this year's draft. According to the mock draft, Jiri Welsch is predicted to go 20th. If Jiri Welsch is available to the Jazz when the 19th pick comes up, the Jazz will take him in a heartbeat.

He won't be. If he is there at #17 (and Rush is off the board), he will become a New Orleans Hornet.

You are absolutely right. I know that New Orleans really likes Jiri Welsch and would take him if he is available at #17. I know it is wishful thinking to think that Jiri Welsch will be available when it's the Jazz's turn to pick (at #19). That's why I hope the Jazz will make a trade (maybe Philadelphia at #16) and try to get Jiri Welsch, but the Jazz have never traded up in the draft before and knowing Jazz management and Larry Miller, we will stick with the 19th pick and once again, the Jazz will be weak at the Shooting Guard position and the Jazz will be exposed to their lack of outside shooting.
