2017 NBA Mock Draft 6.0: Suns snag Lonzo Ball; Heat trade up for Fox
30. Utah Jazz – D.J. Wilson, F, Michigan

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.
