About this episode
Could the 2026 NBA Draft reshape the Utah Jazz's future? Leif Thulin, filling in for David Locke, breaks down the top prospects: AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer. Thulin compares AJ's two-way potential to Tracy McGrady and Paul George, while likening Peterson's scoring prowess to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Boozer, son of NBA veteran Carlos, draws comparisons to Paolo Banchero and Karl-Anthony Towns. The analysis dives into each player's strengths, potential fit with the Jazz, and how they stack up against recent draft classes. Discover why Thulin believes all three prospects could become All-NBA caliber players and what this means for Utah's draft strategy. Tune in to hear which prospect Tulane would select first overall if the draft were held today. 0:00 Intro: Top prospects in next year's draft 5:06 AJ Dybantsa: Strengths and NBA comparisons 10:12 Darren Peterson: Dynamic guard with lofty comparisons 18:52 Cam Boozer: Decorated high school player analysis 27:29: Jazz positioned well for draft Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
