21. Utah Jazz – Keita Bates-Diop, F, Ohio State

With the expected departure of Derrick Favors quickly approaching – he’s a free agent after the season – the Utah Jazz would be wise to try and add a player that could help fill the void that he would leave.

And they could do that at No. 21 by drafting Drafting Keita Bates-Diop, who isn’t exactly Favors but could fill the stretch-4 role.

KBD, a 6-foot-7 big, averaged 20 points and nine rebounds per game this past season. He shot 48 percent from the field and 36 percent from 3-point range.
