Next week, a new wave of ballers will begin their transition to the pro game at the 2017 NBA Draft. With a total of four picks in the draft, two of which are in the first-round at Nos. 24 and 30, the Utah Jazz and general manager Dennis Lindsey could be in for a long night come June 22.

However, with their top picks falling in the back end of the first-round, Lindsey and the Jazz may have to pull a couple of rabbits out of a hat to get something substantial. Even in one of the deeper drafts in recent memory.
