Jazz Mock Draft Roundup 2.0: Experts Predict Pick 28
There’s been a lot of chatter about who the Utah Jazz will be taking at pick No. 9, and 16, but let’s not forget about the No. 28 selection. In what’s considered one of the deepest drafts in NBA history, there should be some difference-makers available late into the night.
Let’s take a look at what the experts are predicting for Utah with the 28th pick.
G Brice Sensabaugh | The Ringer
“Will Hardy has already shown he’s an excellent head coach capable of getting the best out of his players, which makes Sensabaugh an intriguing choice for Utah. Though he’s a limited defender and playmaker, he’s a strong go-to scorer and would be forced to conform on this team to earn minutes.”— Kevin O’Connor
F Colby Jones | ESPN
“Adding more wing depth is something almost every team in the NBA will be looking to address at this stage of the draft. Jones looks like a plug-and-play wing after a breakout season at Xavier. While not blessed with overwhelming physical tools, Jones brings defensive versatility, an excellent feel for the game and much-improved perimeter shooting at 20 years old.” — Jonathan Givony
G Bilal Coulibaly | CBS Sports
“Coulibaly is a late riser in the 2023 class who has showed flashes of excitement for Mets 92 as a teammate of Victor Wembanyama's. He's a raw prospect who has the physical ability, athleticism and length that teams like in wings.” — Kyle Boone
F Jaime Jacqez Jr. | USA Today
“Jaquez is another player that helped himself this week at the draft combine. He registered a 39-inch max vertical jump, which ranked seventh, and was third in standing vertical jump at 34.5 inches. He isn’t necessarily a player many would consider one of the most athletic players in the draft, but Jaquez has that ability. He has a tremendous ability to score and can also make an impact on the defensive side of the ball. He has shot up draft boards and appears to be a potential late first-rounder.” — Cody Taylor
