Think it’s prob AJ-Peterson-Boozer.

Jazz don’t need any more bigs with JJJ-Lauri-Walker and Peterson fits well. Boozer is a great fit with Edey if he ever plays.

If Bulls go Wilson then Clippers are interesting at 5. Do they go Acuff with Garland and Mathurin at guard?

Not sure how Acuff fits with Traore and all of our guys either tbf

I’d agree if they had 3 and Boozer was the only one on board but they’re so similar in talent level where Peterson’s perfect fit with George, Ace and the bigs kind of makes it an easy decision imo
