Slam Dunk Central Reporter Stephen Rhodes’ 2008 NBA Mock Draft

Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Slam Dunk NBA Draft Central

??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Utah Jazz

Yesterday, I covered the Orlando Magic’s draft needs and projected who they would select with their first-round pick.? Today I cover the Utah Jazz’ draft needs and also will predict who they will select with their first-round pick.

Utah Jazz

Draft position - #23

Needs -?Center, shooting guard.? I expect Jarron Collins to exit the team shortly and probably Kyrylo Fesenko, as well.? Basically, Mehmet Okur will need a backup to give him a blow on occasion.? While there’s a glut of shooting guards on the Jazz, I expect a few to be released or traded - especially Morris Almond and C.J. Miles - yet it will be a tough call.? But nonetheless, center is where the Jazz have their most pressing need.

Utah Jazz select: Roy Hibbert, center, Georgetown

Tomorrow: Seattle SuperSonics
