Kessler’s Comeback Season with the Jazz
Walker Kessler has been making waves in his third year as a starter for the Utah Jazz. The young center has bounced back impressively, putting up solid numbers across the board. Kessler’s stat line speaks volumes, averaging 10.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game.
This resurgence comes after a challenging sophomore year, demonstrating Kessler’s resilience and growth as a player. His journey to the Jazz was not straightforward. Initially drafted 22nd overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2022, Kessler was traded twice before landing in Utah as part of the Rudy Gobert trade.
Kessler’s performance this season has been crucial for the Jazz. His shot-blocking ability provides a strong defensive presence, while his rebounding skills give the team extra possessions. His scoring output, while not the focal point of his game, adds valuable points to the Jazz offense.
The former Auburn Tiger has proven to be a valuable asset for Utah, justifying the team’s decision to acquire him in the high-profile Gobert trade. As the season progresses, Kessler’s continued development will be key to the Jazz’s success.
