The 2024 NBA Draft is approaching, with the Utah Jazz holding the 10th pick. After missing the playoffs last season but showing growth, the Jazz consider their 2023 draft successful, having selected Taylor Hendricks, Keyonte George, and Brice Sensabaugh, all of whom contributed significantly. This year, the Jazz have the 10th and 29th picks and are particularly interested in adding a small forward. The consensus is to pick the best player available, which may align with their positional needs at No. 10.
Potential Picks:
Ron Holland: Holland, from the G League Ignite, was once a top-three prospect but may be available at No. 10. He played a dual role in scoring and playmaking, averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.5 steals. His potential as a small forward fits the Jazz’s needs, and he could contribute immediately.
Cody Williams: Williams, from Colorado, has risen in the draft rankings. He averaged 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, showing strong shooting skills with 41.5% from three-point range. While not as strong a playmaker as Holland, his scoring and defensive potential make him a viable pick if available at No. 10.
Dalton Knecht: Knecht, from Tennessee, had an impressive season, averaging 21.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Known for his shooting prowess (39.7% from three), Knecht’s defense is a concern, but his offensive skills could make him a valuable asset if still available at the 10th pick.
