Utah Jazz rookie Jared Butler (Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports)
The most recent Utah Jazz draft selection looks healthy, ready, and starry.
Considering his fall to No. 40 overall at July’s NBA Draft, Utah Jazz fans have relatively lofty expectations for 6-foot-3, 195-pound rookie guard Jared Butler.
Yes, the leading scorer for the 2020-21 Baylor national champs — 16.7 points per game to go along with 4.8 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 41.7 percent from downtown — is quite possibly the most anticipated rookie second-rounder in franchise history.
