2023 NBA Mock Draft

118. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player. Forward. UCF. Taylor Hendricks. 9

Hendricks is another name we’ve seen rise up draft boards, as he is a big, two-way wing who should be able to make an impact on both ends.

The Jazz already have plenty of soft forwards, so they could use a defender here, and luckily for them, Hendricks profiles as one of the best in the draft and is still a very efficient shooter.

Hendricks had a workout recently with the Pistons, and if they do decide to trade back, I expect he is one of their targets, but he’d be a nice get for the defensively-challenged Jazz, who finished 25th in opponents’ points allowed this past season.
