Jazz hold double workout Saturday as NBA draft draws nearer

With the NBA draft coming up on June 20, Jazz exec Walt Perrin isn’t quite ready to say the team has entered the home stretch of its preparation for making selections with the Nos. 23 and 53 picks.

But after two more workouts totaling 11 more players (including two the team has a first-round grade on) at the Zions Bank Basketball Campus practice facility on Saturday, he did acknowledge that the franchise is readying for the finish line.

“We have another 12 days [from Saturday] — every team is still going through the workout process,” Perrin said.
