In the Tennessee Volunteers’ Sweet 16 match-up with third-seeded Purdue last March, Admiral Schofield’s 21-point, nine-rebound effort wasn’t enough to get his squad to the Elite 8. In the end, the Vols fell in overtime, 99-94. Nevertheless, his senior season did wonders for his draft stock; he could be a first-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
On Friday, Schofield joined Sydney Kings wing Brian Bowen II, Houston guard Armoni Brooks, Virginia guard Ty Jerome, Michigan guard Jordan Poole and Mississippi State guard Quinndary Weatherspoon for a pre-draft workout with the Utah Jazz.
Although there’s always some level of concern with older, four-year players — particularly ones who didn’t become key cogs to their team’s attack until later in their college players –Schofield has the look of a guy with Jazz DNA.
