In this story:


The guys up in Vegas have finally decided to release their draft selection odds for June 22nd’s NBA Draft. While by no means is Vegas always spot on with their predictions, sometimes it seems as if they know more than the average fan does. Given this, seeing how the oddsmakers forecast the night going down could help with what to expect when the Utah Jazz pick arrives.

One thing to remember when looking at these odds is that these are strictly for the 9th overall pick. If the Jazz decided to trade the pick/trade up on draft night, these odds wouldn’t account for any of that. 

However, if Utah did decide to stick and pick at 9, this is how Vegas sees it playing out: (Odds provided by FanDuel Sportsbook)

Taylor Hendricks, F, UCF: +350


Anthony Black, G, Arkansas: +390


Bilal Coulibaly, F, France: +500


Cason Wallace, G, Kentucky: +650


Gradey Dick, G/F, Kansas: +650


Kobe Bufkin, G, Michigan: +650


Jarace Walker, F, Houston: +1200


Ausar Thompson, G/F, OTE: +1300


Jalen Hood-Schifino, G, Indiana: +2100


Cam Whitmore, F, Villanova: +3400


Keyonte George, G, Baylor: +4000


Nick Smith Jr., G, Arkansas: +4000
