30. Utah Jazz – D.J. Wilson, F, Michigan

GM: Tony Webb; Twitter: @tc_pucks

The elephant in the room that is Gordon Hayward’s departure required me to address the possible need. D.J. Wilson is no Gordon Hayward, but with a few years of development he could develop into a nice contributor in the league.

Wilson is the prototypical forward for today’s NBA game. He stands at 6-foot-10 and has a wide range to his game.  Wilson shot 37 percent from behind the arc and looks to improve from that aspect.

He can play the 3 or the 4 at the next level, plays good defense and could either be a nice bench weapon or could move into the starting lineup in a few years for the Jazz.

The combo picks of Collins and Wilson adds bench depth and youth to a Jazz team that will be dealing with free agency to multiple key players and the aging of a couple others.
