The NBA Draft Lottery was held in New York City on Tuesday night, and (to the surprise of nobody) the Utah Jazz wound up with the No. 12 pick. Entering the lottery, the Jazz were entrenched in that slot with a slim 0.7 percent chance of moving up.

“There was no disappointment—we knew we had long odds,” Lindsey said afterward. “As we started to do deeper dives and diligence on the players, we feel we can get well past the 12 players.
