20. Utah Jazz – Jontay Porter, PF, Missouri

Jontay Porter is one of favorite prospects in the draft. He will be the youngest prospect taken in the draft assuming he declares. Despite his young age Jontay might have the highest basketball IQ of anybody in the class and it makes up for his lack of athleticism.

Derrick Favors contract is up this season and the Jazz should be out on the 26-year-old big man. Aging Ekpe Udoh and Jonas Jerebko aren’t their future answers at the forward spot either. Jontay’s offensive ability in the NBA will be determined on his three point shot. He needs to be able to knock down NBA 3’s consistently in order to have any kind of offensive value.

I believe his shot will develop in time. He knocked down 36 percent of his three’s in college. However, he was a very streaky shooter even on open jump shots all year.
