If you’re a fan of the Utah Jazz and their young, defensive-minded center, Walker Kessler, you’re going to love the recent news. As reported by Sports Illustrated, there are oddsmaking websites that believe that Kessler could have a huge season for 2023-2024. One, so large, that he may even contend for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
The Utah Jazz’s big man isn’t going to have an easy road to winning the award, however. The Memphis Grizzlies’ Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Evan Mobley are the top two names at the moment, and that seems fair.
