Jazz likely keep rare top-five draft pick

The Utah Jazz are set to enter next month’s NBA Draft with a valuable collection of picks – the 5th and 21st selections in the first round, along with two picks in the second round.

According to reporting from Sarah Todd of the Deseret News, multiple sources around the league have confirmed that Utah’s front office is open to trade discussions involving any of these picks.

The team appears to be in a flexible position, ready to explore options that might improve their roster through deals.

That said, the No. 5 pick carries particular weight. It marks a rare opportunity for the franchise – the first time in over ten years that the Jazz have landed a top-five draft position.

Given that significance, Todd suggests that while trade conversations are ongoing, it’s more probable than not that Utah will hold onto the No. 5 pick, aiming to add a high-upside talent to their young core.
