It's safe to say the Utah Jazz need upgrades at every position with an emphasis on PG. Unfortunately, this is a weak draft at the PG position. The Jazz don't pick players based on need. Kevin O'Conner believes in taking the best player available. He says it every draft. He'll stick with that philosophy this summer.

It's worth mentioning that almost everyone believes the PG for Lehigh, CJ McCollum will be taken in the 12-16 range. We hear his name all the time in JazzNation. He's not on any of these mock drafts but he's a real possibility. I really like the Shane Larkin pick and Myck Kabongo should also be available at 21 and even possibly at 44.

I'll continue to update this table as the National media adjusts their mock boards.
