2023 NBA Mock Draft

9. player. 118. Kansas. Gradey Dick. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward

The Utah Jazz were better than anyone expected this season and appear to have found a defensive gem in Walker Kessler and a star in the rejuvenated Lauri Markkanen.

Dick is one of the best pure shooters in the draft and a nice fit for them on the wing. He’s better than just a guy who stands in the corner and shoots, but doesn’t have the highest ceiling. However he does have one of the highest floors, as his combination of size, athleticism and shooting should make him a solid NBA player for years to come.

He fits right in with the Jazz culture. Take that however you’d like.
