The Utah Jazz have no shortage of options at the No. 21 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, but these six guys stand out above the rest of the realistic possibilities.

As we’ve maneuvered our way through pre-draft workouts and the several varying reports and speculation leading up to the draft, one thing is clear. The Utah Jazz have several encouraging options to pursue on June 21 with the 21st overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Mock drafts across the web of course have conflicting reports of who Utah may end up with, projecting them to go for everything from a point guard to a center. The Jazz will undoubtedly be highly strategic regarding their final decision, but the good news is that they have no shortage of appealing options.

With that being the case, I’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of the top six guys that I would like to see Utah select once they find themselves on the clock in the upcoming draft. Some of these players could very well be plucked off the board by opposing teams prior to the Jazz making their selection, but the criteria for each was that there was a reasonable shot of them dropping to the late first round where the Jazz could get them.

Without further ado, let’s kick off the list with a guy who has been mentioned in conjunction with the Jazz for some surprising reasons of late.
