SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz own three picks in the 2024 NBA Draft and will have plenty of options to improve their roster this summer.
This is a collection of player breakdowns Jazz fans should be familiar with leading up to the draft.
The NBA Draft will be held on June 26-27 in Brooklyn.
Utah Jazz 2024 NBA Draft Prospects
Rob Dillingham – G – Kentucky
Stats: 15.2 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds: .475/.444/.796
My first player preview for the @utahjazz in the 2024 NBA Draft:
Kentucky freshman Rob Dillingham is an electric shooter and scorer, but does he fit this roster?#TakeNote https://t.co/n9HdCl0IuF

Reed Sheppard – G – Kentucky
Stats: 12.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds: .536/.521/.831
Kentucky freshman Reed Sheppard is one of the best shooting prospects in NBA Draft history, but there’s more to his game than that.
Would he be a fit with the @utahjazz? #TakeNote | @kslsports https://t.co/pAjj9JXIdD

Cody Williams – F – Colorado
Stats: 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists: .552/.415/.714
With a need for size, athleticism, and upside, Cody Williams could be a strong fit for the @utahjazz in this year’s NBA Draft. #takenote https://t.co/NoCqsuoqUS

Ron Holland – F – Ignite
Stats: 18.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists: .474/.239/.682
Ron Holland’s shooting numbers are concerning, but he has the type of star upside that could make him an intriguing fit for the @utahjazz in this year’s draft. #TakeNote https://t.co/L5YwDIZZXt

Matas Buzelis – F – Ignite
Stats: 14.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists: .448/.273/.679
Standing 6-foot-8 with exceptional athleticism, Matas Buzelis was once a candidate to be selected with the top pick in the 2024 NBA Draft?
Now there are talks he could slip down the lottery. Would he be a fit with the @utahjazz?#takenote https://t.co/JHbyIjf9oa

Dalton Knecht – F – Tennessee
Stats: 21.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists: .458/.397/.772
Dalton Knecht checks a lot of boxes for the @utahjazz, but at 23 years old, he’s the oldest player projected to be taken in the lottery.
Should the Jazz invest the 10th pick in the Tennessee sharp-shooter?#TakeNote https://t.co/U5DHzMobtu

Stephon Castle – G – UConn
Stats: 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists: .472/.267/.755
Stephon Castle has excellent size and defensive instincts for an NBA guard.
But, his three-point shot may be the biggest question mark in the entire draft.
Is he a fit for the @utahjazz in the lottery?#TakeNote https://t.co/CLXNFiBWOE

Donovan Clingan – C – UConn
Stats: 13.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists: .639/.250/.583
Donovan Clingan likely isn’t the most exciting prospect in the draft, but he would provide the @utahjazz with a lot of answers in the frontcourt.
If he’s on the board, should the Jazz draft the UConn center?#TakeNote https://t.co/u49uvJOiJE
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) May 23, 2024
Jaylon Tyson – G – California
Stats: 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists: .465/.360/.796
Jaylon Tyson is a common name mocked to the @utahjazz during the pre-draft process.
Will he still be on the board late in the first round, and how would he fit with the Jazz? #TakeNote | @kslsports https://t.co/W1iPW2F0m9
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) May 31, 2024
Nikola Topic – G – Serbia
Stats: 14.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists: .498/.306/.878
Nikola Topic was a projected top-five pick in this year’s draft, but a recently revealed torn ACL could hurt his stock.
Would he be a fit with the @utahjazz if he slides to 10?#TakeNote https://t.co/HMzUPLCOe0
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) June 10, 2024
Devin Carter – G – Providence
Stats: 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists: .473/.377/.749
Devin Carter is perhaps the best guard defender in the 2024 draft class and shot 37 percent from three in his final college season.
Is he a fit with the @utahjazz with the 10th pick?#takenote https://t.co/bCWIZhiblj
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) June 13, 2024
Tidjane Salaun – F – Cholet
Stats: 9.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists: .406/.316/.748
Tidjane Salaun offers a lot of “WOW” moments with his physical tools and athleticism.
Are the rest of the skills there to justify a top-ten pick by the @utahjazz?#TakeNote https://t.co/DgtgjCUnZP

Jared McCain, Kyle Filipowski, Ja’Kobe Walter, Yves Messi
Four more first-round names for @utahjazz fans to consider who likely aren’t in contention with the 10th pick.

Zach Edey, Tyler Kolek, Oso Ighodaro
Zach Edey, Tyler Kolek, and Oso Ighodaro are upperclassmen projected to be selected late in the first round of next week’s NBA Draft.
Would they fit with the @utahjazz?#TakeNotehttps://t.co/yK9TSPGl6m
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) June 21, 2024
Carlton “Bub” Carrington, Ryan Dunn
Bub Carrington is one of the higher upside swings in the first round, while Ryan Dunn could be this year’s Herb Jones.
Would they fit with the @utahjazz in next week’s draft?#TakeNote https://t.co/eZ3ovaJXqP
