11. Utah Jazz (via New York) – Bennedict Mathurin, G, Arizona

The Utah Jazz snags a lottery pick from the New York Knicks via the mocked Donovan Mitchell trade and will have the opportunity to kick start a retooling of the roster. One potential fit is Bennedict Mathurin out of Arizona.

Mathurin is an interesting prospect. He proved to be an effective scorer (and a long-range shooting threat) during his freshman season at Arizona. He’s also big and athletic, which fits the mold of the recent NBA trends for a guard.

Mathurin won’t be expected to replace Mitchell, but he could be one piece that will have the chance to do so in a few years once he fully develops into the player that he can be.
