SALT LAKE CITY — With his practice gear soaked in sweat, 20-year-old Élie Okobo was all ears when Utah Jazz forward Thabo Sefolosha approached him with advice at Zions Bank Basketball Center Thursday.
For the second consecutive offseason, Okobo joined a group of NBA prospects for a pre-draft workout with the Jazz organization only this time Sefolosha was in attendance.
“We have the same agent so I texted him yesterday and he came today so I really appreciate it,” Okobo said.
As Sefolosha continues to rehab from his season-ending knee injury, he’s been an ever-present fixture around the Jazz practice facility lately.
