The rumors won't go away regarding the Utah Jazz and Walker Kessler
The rumors of the Utah Jazz parting ways with Walker Kessler won't go away. The latest comes from NBA reporter Ian Begley of SNYt, who reports that the Jazz have been in talks with other teams about moving on from Kessler and want at least a first-round pick in return.
Utah likes to run a five-out offense, with the bigs able to space the floor. Kessler struggles as a three-point shooter, and unless that changes, the third-year Jazzman could be regulated to a permanent backup role. Last season, the Jazz started John Collins at the five, and Taylor Hendricks is another player who can fill that role, too.
If the Jazz are shopping Kessler, it would be surprising that they couldn't fetch at least one first-round pick in return. Kessler is an elite rim protector and was one of Utah's brightest spots in his rookie year. Last season, he averaged 9.2 points while blocking 2.4 blocks a game and is still in his rookie contract.
