Prospects to watch for the Utah Jazz in the 2017 NBA Draft
By Jared Barker

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.
