Walt Perrin, vice president of player personnel for the Utah Jazz, talks to journalists during a Utah Jazz workout at the Zions Bank Basketball Center in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, May 29, 2018.

SALT LAKE CITY — Heading into Memorial Day weekend, as six more NBA draft hopefuls exited Zions Bank Basketball Campus, Utah Jazz Vice President of Player Personnel Walt Perrin was honest in his assessment of the talent pool from the five total pre-draft workouts as of Thursday, May 23.

“We’re looking at guys who could possibly be at 53 or possibly be guys we might look at for Summer League or even our Jazz G League for the Stars,” Perrin said following Thursday’s conclusion.
