It's still unclear what path the Utah Jazz will take on draft day.
“Clingan is a top-three prospect who might experience a minor drop on draft night because teams that are in the Nos. 3-6 range already have starting centers in place... Clingan isn’t expected to drop past the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 7, whom he just visited for a private workout as well. He is being discussed among teams as a possible target for the likes of Chicago, Memphis, Oklahoma City or Utah, who all might explore trading up for a player in his mold.
Clingan averaged 13 points and 7.4 rebounds while also blocking 2.8 shots per contest last season with the Huskies and was a major contributor in winning the National Championship. Standing at 7 feet tall with an impressive 7-foot-7 wingspan, Clingan checks the boxes regarding size and athleticism. However, in today’s NBA, where spacing the floor on offense is critical, he is a work in progress as a player who can be an efficient long-distance shooter.
It would be hard to imagine the Jazz making a move for the projected lottery pick without Kessler being part of the exchange. The second-year Jazzman did struggle in his sophomore season at times, but he Is still an elite rim protector and is only one year removed from finishing third in the 2022-23 Rookie of the Year voting.
