Utah Jazz: 5 offseason roster moves they must make

5. Draft Killian Tillie.

The Utah Jazz hold only the 23rd pick in the upcoming 2020 NBA draft. This late first round pick is going to be very helpful to move the Jazz forward next year. They could take a point guard but the Jazz need to have a level of experience running their squad if they are going to move up.

The gaping hole in the Jazz starting lineup is at the power forward position. Royce O’Neal is currently starting in that position and is only 6’4″ which leaves the Jazz undersized at this position. The depth behind him is not that great either.

As the pick is late first round, it is about taking the best available talent. Sometimes it is about taking a risk on a player who is talented, but injury prone during their college career. The Nuggets did this with Michael Porter Jr. in the last draft.

The player of this draft who has the talent of a lottery pick is Killian Tillie out of Gonzaga. He is a lottery talent who will most probably be available for the Jazz at this pick. He was injured in all four college seasons but his upside makes him worth the risk at this stage of the first round.

He is a steady defender which seem to be the style of player the Jazz prefer. Tillie is not a shot blocker but the Jazz have Rudy Gobert for that. He has a deft passing ability and the talent to shoot from anywhere on the court.

While the Jazz are still a little way off, making these five roster moves will help them continue their march up the standings.
