Jrue went for the #6 pick in a bad draft plus a future pick (top 3 protected) when we acquired him in about 2015.

I think we could get the 4 or 5 straight up in this draft for him, possibly the 3 depending on who stands out in the tier below Zion and Ja.

It's all about where teams are and what they want. Ja Morant should have more value to most teams than Jrue when you consider salary but if you are the Bulls or Suns, the last thing you want to do is bring in another 19 year old

Jrue comes to Chicago and he becomes the leader. He gets Lavine to stop chucking and gets Lauri the ball. He makes them respectable right away. Ja goes there and he is just another guy hoisting shots and playing bad D as the team lingers with no direction. Same with Phoenix. They don't need another 19 year old.

Cleveland on the other hand, they still need to add more high level young talent before bringing in their vet leaders.

Jrue isn't "worth" the number 2 or 3 pick in all scenarios. But he is definitely worth it in some
