Memphis Grizzlies, NBA: Midseason Mock Draft
11. player. 118. Thanks to the sensational success of Donovan Mitchell, the Utah Jazz aren’t in the basement of the Western Conference. With his emergence and Rodney Hood’s superb play, the Jazz have their core on the wings. The “best talent available” route could very well be an option, but there’s a need behind Rudy Gobert. With Derrick Favors hitting free agency this summer, they should look at a backup center. <p>Robert Williams is a versatile big man who could fit in nicely with the Jazz. Like Favors, he’s an excellent shot-blocker (2.4 blocks) who can play the 4 or 5. He has the athleticism to be a good rebounder and finisher immediately. If he can touch up on his offensive game, he might be another steal here for the Jazz.</p> <p><em>Chances of #1 pick: 0.8</em></p> <p><em>Alternate pick: Kevin Knox</em></p> <p><em>Likely #1 pick: Marvin Bagley</em></p>. F/C. Texas A&M University. Robert Williams
