While many among the Utah Jazz fan base are looking ahead to Thursday’s pre-draft workout featuring potential lottery picks Bobby Portis and Kevon Looney, Wednesday’s crop of prospects provided their own brand of intrigue. In addition to Shaq (McKissic of Arizona State) strutting his stuff for Jazz brass, local phenom Nick Paulos was on hand.

Born in Salt Lake City, Paulos starred for Olympus High School before going on to a four-year college career with the UNC Greensboro Spartans. Last season, Paulos burned the nets to the tune of 43-percent from three-point range on over six attempts per game. For the season, the six-foot-seven, 185-pound forward averaged 10.6 points and nearly four boards per contest.

Following his workout with the team, Paulos was thankful for the opportunity the Jazz had provided him–

Headlining the group with Paulos was Georgia State star R.J. Hunter. A sharpshooting, six-foot-six guard, Hunter is a first-round talent. The former Panther has been compared to the likes of Klay Thompson, J.J. Redick and Marco Belinelli. He was widely considered one of the best pure shooters in college hoops in recent years and currently ranks 26th on the DraftExpress big board.

Although his three-point shooting dropped to around 30-percent last season, Hunter knocked down 253 shots from down town in his three years with Georgia State and boasts a career scoring average of 18.4 PPG. Moreover, Hunter has an impressive eight-foot-eight standing reach and a wingspan of nearly six-foot-eleven.

Also, he did this–

Paulos and Hunter were joined in their audition for Jazz decision makers by McKissic, Askia Booker of Colorado, Arizona’s T.J. McConnell and Gary Bell Jr. (a.k.a. the next John Stockton) out of Gonzaga.

The Jazz own the twelfth, fourty-second and fifty-fourth picks of the upcoming 2015 NBA Draft. Pre-draft workouts continue on Thursday.
