Walker Kessler is one of the key pieces of the Utah Jazz’s future. He quickly became one of the defensive anchors of the team, and despite being just one year into his career, he’s already among the NBA’s best defensive centers. He finished sixth in defensive RAPTOR, ahead of Jarren Jackson Jr., Jarrett Allen, and Bam Adebayo. Kessler is already among the league’s best defensive bigs.
Despite already being among the league’s best interior defenders, he still has room to grow as an offensive player, so getting some work in during the NBA’s Summer League wouldn’t have been the worst idea.
