To no one’s surprise, Lauri Markkanen was the highest-ranked Utah Jazz player. CBS Sports believes that Markkanen is the 41st-best player in the association.
“I think Lauri Markkanen is a top-30 player,” Anderson said. “I put him in the conversation with Jalen Brunson, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown.”
Coming up next, sophomore big man Walker Kessler was ranked as the 90th-best player in the NBA and the 16th-best center.

Rookie centers Chet Holmgren (68) and Victor Wembanyama (58) were both ranked higher than Kessler without stepping foot on an NBA floor yet.
No other Jazz players made an appearance on the list.
Jordan Clarkson and John Collins are two guys who may have an argument to be there but ultimately fell short.
some friendly faces back in the building 😁🫶#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/hVr3KiihDo
