With three choices in the Draft, including two in the first round, Jazz will liven up the evening of June 26. This week, management will accelerate its tests, and The Athletic tells us that they planned to see this week Tidjane SalaünZach Edey, Tyler Kolek, Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro, Baylor Scheierman and Jonathan Mogbo.
It is obviously Tidjane Salaün and Zach Edey who are the two most interesting elements, and we imagine that they are competing for 10th place. For the Canadian, this may seem a bit high, while the Frenchman is regularly cited for places 5 to 12.

Moreover, the young winger from Cholet already had four “workouts” planned with franchises called to select between the 5th and 12th places, with the Pistons (5th), the Blazers (7th), the Spurs (8th) and the Thunder (12th). With the addition of the Jazz, it's a nice group shot, and there's a nice spot to be had in the 3/4 position in Utah.
For Zach Edey, it's more uncertain, and the Jazz could see him in action in case they slip in the Draft to sign him with their 29th pick. The idea would undoubtedly be to make him Walker Kessler's understudy, even if the two generally have the same profile with a big presence near the circle.
