One of the most interesting prospects in the NBA Draft this season is Mitchell Robinson. As we might see in a few years, Robinson is basically a high school basketball player, as he didn’t play competitive basketball last year.
For the Utah Jazz, while they have one of the best centers in the league in Rudy Gobert, having a good backup for him is something that they could use. After a great season, the Jazz were eliminated in the playoffs by the Houston Rockets after they were able to knock out Oklahoma City.
One of the noticeable things for the Jazz was that when Gobert wasn’t on the court, they were not the same team, especially on the defensive end. Adding Robinson would give the Jazz a talented prospect that could help them when Gobert is getting his rest.
While it was in high school, Robinson also showed a lot of potential on the offensive end with a pretty nice jump shot for a near seven-footer. Robinson is certainly a question mark since he didn’t play last season, but he was a five-star prospect out of high school and could be a steal for the Jazz this late in the draft.
