2021 Utah Jazz Player Profile: Udoka Azubuike

When Udoka Azubuike was drafted 27th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2020 NBA Draft, many Jazz fans were unhappy. Utah was expected to sign Derrick Favors as their backup center in the coming days. Why draft a center?

Azubuike didn’t get much of a chance to prove his doubters wrong in his rookie season. An injury in G-League play had him out for much of the year. He did manage some great highlights in his few minutes though.
