Utah Jazz: Jimmer Fredette, Kemba Walker to work out for Jazz Wednesday
SALT LAKE CITY — The Jimmer Fredette-Kemba Walker showdown is set.
Both hyped players and lottery prospects, who made big splashes in the NCAA Tournament this spring, will participate in a pre-draft workout for the Utah Jazz on Wednesday morning.
The point guards will be joined in the tryout session by 6-foot-8 forward Paul Carter (Illinois-Chicago), 6-10 forward Josh Harrellson (Kentucky), 6-2 guard Senario Hillman (Alabama) and 6-6 guard Malcolm Lee (UCLA).
As usual, this workout is not open to the public.
The 6-3 Fredette, who earned national player-of-the-year honors at BYU this past season, and the 6-1 Walker, who led UConn to the national championship, are among the intriguing players who will likely be available for the Jazz with their No. 3 overall pick.
The Jazz also have the 12th selection of the draft, which takes place a week from Thursday.
The wildly popular Fredette worked out in Phoenix on Monday and has also received rave reviews from his showings for Indiana, New York and Sacramento.
While many Jazz fans are hopeful the local team will pick up the BYU star, Fredette has been projected to be selected as high as No. 7 overall. Most draft speculation has Jimmer pegged in the late lottery area, which would give Utah a shot to take him at No. 12.
