Latest Chad Ford mock draft is pretty interesting. At #4 he has the Jazz taking
Joel Embiid and says this about it:

"Jazz fans want Parker in the worst way, but their team likely will have to win one of the top two spots in the lottery to get their hands on him. With the players left on the board, the Jazz face a quandry. They can go with the guy with the most upside (Embiid), or they can go with a player who can help them right away (Julius Randle). Assuming Embiid is healthy, I think he's the pick here. Pairing him on the floor every night with Derrick Favors would give the Jazz an unbelievable defensive front line. Landing him also might free up the team to explore Enes Kanter trades over the summer. While the Jazz love Kanter, if they have to pay big dollars to Gordon Hayward this summer in free agency, they might not be able to afford to pay him what he wants next summer."

His order went, Wiggins, Parker, Exum, Embiid, Gordon, Randle, Smart.

I thought it was very interesting he had Aaron Gordon that high. Maybe if Gordon is that great of a prospect the Jazz may really be looking hard at him if they fall a few spots. He's very athletic and supposed to be a real defensive guy. Though I would have a hard time if the Jazz drafted another guy who can't create his own shot and or take his guy 1 on 1 when the Jazz really need to score.

At #23 he has the Jazz taking Elfrid Payton out of Louisiana Lafayette. At 6'3 he's a bigger PG to give some size where they are small.
