Utah Jazz: KZ Okpala offers intrigue as a late first-rounder

On Sunday, the Utah Jazz had their biggest day of pre-draft action yet, welcoming in two different groups of prospects for workouts, including multiple potential first-round picks.

For me though, it’s mostly significant because it’s the day that KZ Okpala came in for his audition for Jazz brass.

Okpala made a major impression on me back in January when his Stanford Cardinal pushed my Utah Runnin’ Utes to the limit. Stanford was winning late, before a Utes comeback put them in the driver’s seat, that is until Okpala nailed a big 3-pointer to even the game at 66 with just over a minute left.
