2023 NBA Mock Draft

player. Guard. Jett Howard. 14. 118. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Michigan

Michigan’s 6-foot-8 freshman Jett Howard fits well with Utah in this spot.

Jett is the son of Michigan head man and former NBA’er Juwan Howard. He’s had a solid season in his father’s program averaging 16.9 points per game while shooting at a 37 percent clip from three.

Howard can thrive next to a good NBA point guard. So, if Collin Sexton takes strides, Howard may be a good piece to add for the Jazz. He can open doors by making plays and being able to knock down shots, whether in the mid-range or from deep.
