Ranking Jazz's Best Young Players Entering 2023-24
The Utah Jazz are rapidly compiling one of the better young rosters in the NBA. The Jazz have added five first-round picks from the 2022 and 2023 NBA draft classes. So just for fun, let’s rank these Jazz prospects.
Because the Jazz have such a young roster, we must draw a line in the sand somewhere. So, for this exercise, we'll stick with players who are entering one of their first four seasons of NBA play.
This disqualifies Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, John Collins, and Talen Horton-Tucker.
8. Simone Fontecchio
7. Omer Yurtseven
6. Luka Šamanić
5. Brice Sensabaugh
4. Ochai Agbaji
3. Taylor Hendricks
2. Walker Kessler
1. Keyonte George
The star of Summer League, I had Keyonte George slotted one spot above Hendricks in my final draft rankings. After coming out of the draft with an improved physical profile, George has already made me believe in his long-term outlook as a primary ball-handler.
His upside as both a scorer and facilitator gives him a ceiling that I believe sets him apart from the rest of Utah’s bright young core.
