5. Utah Jazz - Matas Buzelis, F, G League Ignite

The Utah Jazz has a few foundational pieces in place with Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, and Walker Kessler. They'll be looking to add another with a projected top 6 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. One player in this range that could be of interest to the Jazz is Matas Buzelis. The 19-year-old is a 6-foot-8 prospect who is playing for the NBA G League Ignite. He's expected to declare for the draft after this season.

Buzelis is an interesting prospect for several reasons, including his shooting ability and athleticism on the offensive end. However, his inconsistency on the other end of the floor helps make him one of the more polarizing players who could be selected in the top 5. Depending on how his season plays out, there's a chance that Buzelis ends up being drafted anywhere from No. 1 overall to outside the top 10.

Buzelis would give the Jazz another talented wing player that they could start building around. Playing next to Markkanen could help take some of the initial pressure off of him as well.
