The Utah Jazz resumed pre-draft workouts Wednesday morning at the Zions Bank Basketball Center. The ongoing evaluation process will eventually see a total of more than 90 prospects make their way to Salt Lake City. Of local interest, former Utah center Dallin Bachynski participated in the latest workout.

Bachynski, a seven-foot, 265-pound big man, provided important minutes as a back-up to freshman phenom Jakob Poeltl for the Utes last season, his third with the program after transferring from Southern Utah. Over the course of a 120-game collegiate career, Bachynski averaged 4.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

According to reports, Bachynski impressed Jazz officials with his shooting ability.

Wednesday’s group was headlined by Tyler Harvey of Eastern Washington. The six-foot-four guard led the NCAA in scoring last season with 23.1 points per contest. He also managed to connect on over 43-percent of his three-point shots over the course of his college career while attempting over seven per game. Harvey currently checks in at No. 67 on the DraftExpress big board.

Harvey and Bachynski were joined in the workout by Tyler Kalinoski of Davidson, Delaware State’s Kendall Gray, Ryan Harrow of Georgia State and Aussie Hugh Greenwood of New Mexico.

Also of note, Greenwood bears a striking resemblance to a certain legendary elf-warrior from the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood–

As Jazz beat writer Aaron Falk said, “Jazz need shooting, right?”

Jazz brass were also on hand at the practice facility over the weekend to evaluate a group of potential draftees that included Kentucky point-man Andrew Harrison. The six-foot-six, 210-pound guard is a physical specimen at his position and averaged 9.3 points and 3.6 assists per game for the Wildcats last season. He currently checks in at No. 37 in DX’s Top 100.

Harrison famously used a slur to describe Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky following his team’s tournament ousting at the Badgers’ hands.

In addition to Harrison, Jazz brass were able to see Terry Rozier of Louisville, UTEP forward Vince Hunter, J.P. Tokoto of North Carolina, Treveon Graham from VCU and Iowa’s Aaron White. The Sunday session marked the first time the team was able to work out underclassmen declaring for early entry into the NBA Draft.

Jazz VP of Player Personnel Walt Perrin had the following to say about Sunday’s group–

Perrin singled out Rozier as a player who competed and shot the ball particularly well. Meanwhile, Harrison and Tokoto struggled to put the ball into the basket. Tokoto and Rozier rank No. 48 and No. 49 respectively at DX.

The Jazz own the No. 12, No. 42 and No. 54 picks in the upcoming draft.
