SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The Utah Jazz made their biggest move of the offseason by trading for Indiana Pacers point guard George Hill, leaving the team without a first-round pick in the NBA draft on Thursday.
The day was fairly uneventful as the team didn’t add a player to the roster until late in the second round.
“It was quite the unique draft relative to (No.) 12 and all the players that were available,” Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey said.
Utah took forward Taurean Prince with the No. 12 selection, but will move the pick to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Jazz were involved in a three-way trade that sent the pick to the Hawks and brought Hill to Utah. The Pacers received Indianapolis native Jeff Teague from the Hawks.
