Inside the NBA draft

BYU junior Trent Plaisted projects to power forward in the pros, and is considered by many to be a second-round possibility. Some within the Jazz organization feel he would have been better served by staying in school, as his game lacks not only strength, but also a shot. He did work out for the Jazz on Tuesday, but it apparently didn't go well, and it seems doubtful Utah would take him with either of its two second-round picks, Nos. 44 and 53. Someone may, though.
Fantasy pick
The Jazz draft Stanford big Robin Lopez in the first round. But his supposedly better twin brother, also-Stanford center Brook Lopez, is unhappy with the team that took him earlier in the draft, so the two pull a secret switcharoo, with Brook showing up in Utah and Robin sacrificing himself for the sake of family harmony.
