Jazz Mock Draft Roundup: Diamond in the Rough at No. 27?

Is it plausible for the Utah Jazz to hit a home run at No. 27?

The NBA mock season is hot and heavy for the 2024 draft. The Utah Jazz currently possess two first-round picks and an early second-round selection. Last week, we looked at some mock drafts in Utah’s pick, which is trending to come in at eight. This week, let’s take a peek at the selection, which is trending to come in at No. 27.

CBS Sports - Tyler Kolek PG

“Coming back from an oblique injury, Kolek returned to his regular self in a big NCAA tournament run for Marquette that ended in the Sweet 16. He averaged 18.7 Points and 18.3 assists per game In the Big Dance and showed off the passing instincts and scoring that made him The most exciting point guard In the sport this season.” — Kyle Booth

The Ringer - Kyle Filipowski C

‘Filipowski needs to land somewhere, right? I can’t help but wonder whether another year of school would be best for him so that he could be paired with Cooper Flagg, Duke’s incoming top-ranked high school prospect. But if Filipowski stays in the draft, then the Jazz would be a good landing spot because of Will Hardy’s ability to get the most out of his frontcourt pieces.” — Kevin O’Connor

The Bleacher Report - Kyshawn George SF/SG

“Kyshawn George finished the year at 40.8 percent on 4.2 three-point attempts, highlighting impressive shot-making for a 6'8" wing who can handle and pass. Scouts believe he can generate first-round interest from teams drawn to his archetype and upside, though his floor does feel low thanks to zero explosion and a 46.7 two-point percentage.” — Jonathan Wasserman

NBADraft.net - Bobby Klintman - F

“Klintman is a long, lean 6’10 225 PF prospect with the frame to put on muscle with ease and a physical profile that stood out at the college level … Reportedly grew 2 inches taller during his lone season at Wake Forest … Moves well and has very good body control and fluidity for a player his size; more smooth than explosive athletically … Budding perimeter skills makes him intriguing; was a promising floor spacer in Wake’s up tempo offense (around 37 3FG%) and has the ability to make shots with his feet set spotting up as a dribble drive valve or in the pick and pop game … Consistent shot mechanics and has enough size, touch and release quickness to stick jumpers against good contests … Has good hands, with the ability to grab passes that are either low or high and rebounds out of his catch radius (4.5 rpg in 20 mpg, 7 rpg in his last 11 ACC games) … Has enough length to alter shots effectively and had a few games with multiple blocked shots as a Freshman.” — Jorrye Nixon
