5. Nedim Buza, Telent Oostende
Sharpshooter Nedim Buza had the look of a boom or bust draft-and-stash prospect before electing to withdraw from the 2015 NBA Draft. Still, the six-foot-eight Buza could be a factor in 2016 and the Jazz now have intel on him.
Nedim Buza will withdraw from the draft. Nikola Radicevic will stay in.

Buza compared his game to that of Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons and Utah’s own Gordon Hayward while in town for his workout. Whoever acquires him when he ultimately enters the draft may have to wait awhile, but the potential payoff could be huge.
The Bosnian connected on over 35 percent of his three-point attempts with OKK Spars Sarajevo last season and hit over 40 percent from the same range in previous years with the club’s junior team. Buza also boasts a nearly-seven-foot wingspan and an eight-foot-nine-standing reach.
