Johnathan Motely, Baylor, PF
The Jazz should be very familiar with Johnathan Motley, seeing as he plays on the same team as GM Dennis Lindsey’s son. NBAdraft.net describes him as: “An extremely long, rangy big man with a versatile offensive game.”
This would fit right in with a Jazz team that could use a versatile stretch four. He has not shot from three much in college, having only 13 attempts to his name last season. Nevertheless, he could be interesting as a small ball center if he can adapt his game.
With this in mind, he could fit in very well for the Jazz; he just needs to develop a consistent outside shot.
