When a team manages to snag a rotation player outside of the lottery, it's a huge win no matter what. It would be nice if that player was a star, like Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo, but teams will gladly take a rotation player on a team-friendly rookie deal. The Utah Jazz did just this when they picked Walter Clayton Jr.

It's taken Clayton no time at all to prove to the Jazz that they have a keeper in him. Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz explained how Clayton has left such a strong impression in such a short time.
