Former Ohio State basketball player Brice Sensabaugh was taken in the first round of the NBA Draft on Thursday night. He was taken 28th overall by the Utah Jazz. Once considered a borderline lottery pick, Sensabaugh slid after declining a key pre-draft workout.
This slide might actually end up being the best thing for his NBA career because he ended up getting drafted into a place where he fits great. The Jazz are in rebuild mode right now. They don’t have any expectations to win enough games to make the playoffs.
That means that Sensabaugh won’t have any pressure to contribute right away to winning a bunch of games.
