The Jazz are at No. 23 in this year’s NBA draft. Here’s the Salt Lake Tribune on it:
There are some promising role-player prospects for the Jazz at No. 23 this year, too. While the lottery of this draft is one of the worst ever, it’s generally regarded to have relatively good talent in the middle of the order that figure to fill NBA rosters.
Among the highlights: TCU’s Desmond Bane is one of the draft’s best outside shooters while also showing defensive toughness, Arizona’s Josh Green is a menace on the wing while flashing the shooting and athleticism to be much more, Mississippi State’s Robert Woodard has the muscular, long frame to help defensively immediately, and Tyrell Terry, Tyrese Maxey and Theo Maledon all figure to be at least good backup guards in the NBA.
There is another wildcard to consider, though: the possibility of the Jazz trading up, trading down, or trading out of the draft.
The draft is tomorrow night, on ESPN TV.
