## Resource

Utah Jazz land top prospect Darryn Peterson with the second pick, but their real offseason push begins now—free agency looms, and they’ve got a mid-level exception to work with. Center depth is a glaring hole, with Walker Kessler likely returning but others like Nurkic and Love uncertain. Enter Robert Williams III: a defensive dynamo with elite athleticism and switchability, perfect for Utah’s second unit. Despite injury history, he’s a low-risk, high-impact fit who could be signed for under their full exception. With 59 games played last season, averaging nearly 7 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 17 minutes, Williams’ rim protection and shot disruption could be exactly what the Jazz need to elevate their defense. Keep an eye on him—he’s a prime target. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
