On
NBALord.com, I did a full mock draft for the 2017 NBA Draft. Below are my
predictions for the Utah Jazz. If you want to read the entire mock draft, click
here.
24. Utah Jazz-California sophomore power forward Ivan Rabb: I cover Cal for
Rivals.com, so I’m very familiar with Ivan
Rabb’s game. He can shoot from beyond the arc, he can score down on the
block, and he rebounds very well. At
6’10”, 220 pounds Rabb has good physical tools to work with and should be able
to fill out in time. The Jazz are expected to part ways with Derrick Favors and I think Rabb has
what it takes to be a nice replacement for him.
30. Utah Jazz-Florida State sophomore shooting guard Dwayne Bacon: Dwayne Bacon is a prototypical NBA
wing. At 6’6”, 200 pounds he can shoot from NBA range, he can attack the rim,
he can defend multiple positions, has great athleticism, etc. He’s a very safe pick
at this point of the draft.
42. Utah Jazz-Oregon junior small forward Dillon Brooks: Like his former Oregon
teammate Tyler Dorsey, Dillon Brooks
has killer scoring instincts and has no problem taking the big shot. He’s
another guy who I think is a first round level talent due to his mentality and
ability to score. He’d be an absolute steal for the Jazz at #42.
55. Utah
Jazz-Notre Dame senior small forward
V.J. Beachem: At 6’8”, 200 pounds, V.J.
Beachem has good size for a small forward and is a capable shooter,
averaging 14.5 points per game in his senior season on 36.1% shooting from
three-point range and 83.6% shooting from the foul line. The Jazz could use
another stretch-four type of guy.
Note: I
want to give a shout out to NBADraft.net and DraftExpress.com for their
excellent NBA Draft coverage. This mock draft would not have been possible
without using them as a resource.
