The Utah Jazz’s selections seem to signal the end of Collin Sexton’s tenure with the team.
Rutgers guard Ace Bailey shakes hands with NBA commissioner Adam Silver after being selected fifth by the Utah Jazz in the NBA Draft on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, in New York.For the second year in a row, the first round of the NBA Draft passed without a prospect who played at an Alabama high school or college getting picked.
The second selection in the 2023 NBA Draft by Charlotte, Miller played in only 27 games for the Hornets in the 2024-25 season because of a wrist injury after he’d made the All-Rookie team the previous year. Miller is a 6-foot-9 wing. Charlotte came away from Wednesday’s picks with two 6-foot-7 wings in Duke’s Kon Knueppel at No. 4 and Connecticut’s Liam McNeeley. To further the seeming duplication of the picks, Knueppel and McNeeley are considered sharpshooters, and Miller took 11.4 3-point shots per game last season. But the incoming rookies were picked as complements to Miller, with their shooting and passing abilities holding potential to open space for the more athletic third-year pro to blossom.Sexton after the guard led the team in points in the 2024-25 season. The Jazz added two guards – Rutgers’ Ace Bailey at No. 5 and Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. at No. 18., got five new teammates in the first round on Wednesday night as the Brooklyn Nets reeled in the eighth, 19th, 22nd, 26th and 27th selections. But only one could have much impact on Clowney’s court time – 7-foot-0 Michigan forward Danny Wolf. Clowney is a 6-10 forward. As expected, the 79th annual draft started with the Dallas Mavericks taking Duke forward Cooper Flagg. Twenty-nine picks followed, with 10 made on behalf of other teams. Because trades cannot be completed until the NBA’s new league year begins on July 6, the deals won’t be official for 11 more days. In addition to Clayton, four more players were chosen from the SEC – Texas guard Tre Johnson at No. 6 by the Washington Wizards, Oklahoma guard Jeremiah Fears at No. 7 by the New Orleans Pelicans, South Carolina forward Collin Murray-Boyles at No. 9 by the Toronto Raptors and Georgia forward Asa Newell at No. 23 by the Pelicans .24.
