2026 Utah Jazz NBA draft prospect profiles

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz are set to pick in the top eight of the upcoming NBA Draft on Tuesday, June 23.

Depending on where they land in the lottery, there are as many as 10 college prospects who they could look to add to their young core.

Many expect the draft to start at No. 5 overall. With AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, and Caleb Wilson projected as the top four picks in any order, the board really opens up after that.

Here are in-depth looks at prospects that will be candidates to join the Jazz in the upcoming draft.

2026 NBA Draft Prospects

AJ Dybantsa: BYU forward

Averages: 25.5 points | 6.8 rebounds | 3.7 assists | 51 FG% | 33.1 3PT% | 77.4 FT%

If the @utahjazz hit on their 34.1% chance at a top-three pick, they could have a chance to draft AJ Dybantsa.

NBA Draft board watch 👀

The @UtahJazz own a 45.1% shot at top‑4, but if they land in the mid‑lottery…

Arizona guard Brayden Burries makes a lot of sense due to his spacing, IQ, defense, and system fit.

Cam Boozer: Duke forward

Averages: 22.5 points | 10.2 rebounds | 4.1 assists | 55.6 FG% | 39.1 3PT% | 78.9 FT%

If the Jazz’s pick lands in the top four in next weekend’s draft lottery, Duke forward Cam Boozer could land in Utah. 🏔
