Editor’s note: First in a three-part series examining what players the Utah Jazz might select in the 2023 NBA Draft.
June 22 is going to be a busy night for the Utah Jazz. After going through the 2022 NBA Draft without a single pick, the team will enter the 2023 draft with three first-round selections — No. 9, No. 16 and No. 28.

These decisions are based on who might still be on the board at the end of the first round, who would fit into the Jazz’s roster, who the Jazz have shown interest in and who I personally think would be a good addition to the team.
Once you get past the lottery picks and are nearing the second round of the draft, it’s difficult to find a player that doesn’t come with some question marks or concerns, so these aren’t going to be perfect prospects.

Andre Jackson Jr. — UConn — 6-foot-6
On paper, Andre Jackson Jr. does not jump off the page. He was a part of the UConn Huskies team that captured the national title this year, but on that team he put up numbers that don’t stand out — 6.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game while shooting just 28.1 % from 3-point range.
But if you get away from the paper and away from worrying about the numbers, there is a player that is much larger than what the stats suggest.
He is an absolute shark on defense who strikes when he sniffs even the slightest mistake and as far as his offense goes, here’s what Jackson told me in Chicago during the NBA Combine.
“There’s not a lot of players that get invited here …read more
