If I’m the Utah Jazz, I’m going with Creighton’s Khyri Thomas with the No. 21 overall pick. He’s an efficient shooter that shot the three-ball at an impressive 41.1 percent clip this past season. He knows how to get to his spots and is a knock-down shooter from there. He’s also a formidable defender capable of covering both guard positions.

For those needing their Khyri Thomas fix, the Utah Jazz had him in and there's a 3+ minute interview with him at https://t.co/sU3H4x4vlz #Creighton #ProJays

In Utah’s development system, he should be able to get even better in this regard. I love Thomas as a 3-and-D prospect and think that he brings a winning mentality, work ethic and style of play that would be an excellent addition to the Jazz ranks.
