2018 NBA Draft – June 21
The first such event that should be circled in bright red on the calendars of Jazz fans is the 2018 NBA Draft which will be held on June 21 beginning at 5:00 PM MT and broadcast on ESPN. As of this writing, that’s only a week away, meaning the high anticipation of who the Jazz will end up drafting is quickly nearing an end.
If you’ve kept up to speed with TheJNotes.com, you know that there are tons of intriguing options for the Jazz to consider with the No. 21 overall pick in the draft. A deep draft class should yield some exciting talent even in the late first round. When Utah is on the clock, you can bet that they’ll be in for a tough decision and have no shortage of great options.
The Jazz also own the No. 52 pick in the draft, which will give fans motivation to watch until nearly the end of the two-round draft.
Last year the Jazz ended up nabbing a potential franchise player in Donovan Mitchell by trading up in the draft. Can they get lucky once again this year and nab a similar impact player? Will Dennis Lindsey show off his craftiness yet again and make a draft day trade to get the guy he likes? After all the dust settles, the biggest question of all is, who will be the newest Jazzmen to be brought into the fold?
All of these exhilarating questions that create hope and anticipation for the future make the draft one of the most exciting moments of the offseason.
