It’s the end of the 2013-14 NBA season and the Utah Jazz, who finished with one of the worst records in the league, have landed the fifth pick in the draft.
The Jazz are in rebuild mode and hope to draft a star with this pick. On draft day GM Dennis Lindsey picks top Australian prospect Dante Exum.
Exum, before being drafted at 19, decided not to play college or professional ball, instead spending the year after high school working on his game.
Scouts had been blown away by what they saw from him in high school but his competition wasn’t elite.
