Provided they keep their pick at No. 21 in Thursday’s NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz will be faced with an age-old dilemma. Should they target an older prospect who is better suited to help immediately? Or, is youth and higher upside down the road the way to go?
Obviously you are hoping to get both, but in the early stages of the draft, this is an easy question. Youth. You target youth. In today’s NBA, rarely do you find four-year seniors within the lottery. Currently, Mikal Bridges is the only projected lottery pick who stayed through his senior year of college.
