SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz will host 12 NBA Draft prospects for workouts on Saturday, who will be split up into two sessions.
All of the players from now until the June 20 draft are fully committed since college athletes had to have their decision on whether to return to school or stay in the draft.
Two players have been seen by college hoops fans in the state of Utah, with one player from San Francisco, a West Coast Conference foe with BYU and an Oregon prospect, who the Utes saw this last season during Pac-12 play.
