28. Utah Jazz (from Los Angeles Lakers and Rockets) – Tony Bradley, C, North Carolina

The Utah Jazz might have drafted Derrick Favors’ eventual replacement. With Favors entering the final year of his contract, assuming that the Utah Jazz re-sign Gordon Hayward to a big number, the Jazz likely won’t be able to guarantee a ton of money to Favors.

Enter tony Bradley.

Bradley didn’t see many minutes last season with North Carolina, but he has the potential to be a solid player in the NBA. It will just take some time.

Grade: B
