#31•W. KESSLER

C • 7’0, 255 lbs; 3rd year, Auburn

STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: TWO-WAY PIVOT

 

Big Walker Kessler: Utah’s five man of the future; a shot-blocking extraordinaire in college, Kessler rapidly translated as a premiere basket protector in the NBA; massive in the lane, EATS on the glass by using his towering frame: Kessler does well going after misses, generally ends up with at least 7-8+ boards/night, regardless of playing time; good athlete for a pivot, features multiple options as a roll finisher: can fly in for slams or pop back for jumpers; next evolution will come as a post threat, three-point shooter & passer/playmaker; 2023 All-Rookie First Teamer, can Kessler reach new heights in 2025?

SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
