What better way to digest the Utah Jazz's recently finished season than to hand out player grades? After a developmental season where the Jazz went 31-51, we’re doing just that. Next up on the grading block is the second-year big man, Walker Kessler.
Kessler’s counting stats look similar to how they did last year. He averaged 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks in about 23 minutes per game. I'd be pleased if you told me when he was acquired from thethat these were the numbers Kessler was putting up for us. He’s undoubtedly a rotation-level big and has one truly elite skill.Kessler’s 5.0 blocked shots per 100 possessions ranked second in the NBA, trailing only the Defensive Player of the Year runner-up, Victor Wembanyama.
