No. 53 pick: Justin Wright-Foreman
You may not know the name, but here’s one statistic to know about Justin Wright-Foreman:
Wright-Foreman averaged 27.1 points per game as the second-leading scorer in the nation last year.

Dan Clayton of Salt City Hoops also dropped this potential ripple effect as a result of the trade:
I wonder if this Justin Wright-Foreman pick signals that the Jazz might be preparing to let Neto go before his 7/9 guarantee date. Certainly don't need 4 PGs. Unless they hope to plant JWF somewhere else for a development year, like they've done with some guys in the past.

Neto has been with the Jazz since 2015, so it would be a bit surprising to Jazz fans if they let him go after retaining him for multiple offseasons in favor of a second-rounder, but crazier things have happened in the NBA.
The likely outcome is that Wright-Foreman spends most of his rookie season playing for the Salt Lake City Stars, although it seems like he has the scoring aspect of his game down.
Grade: C+
