Utah's 2026 draft pick situation
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2025 3:39 pm
Based on a ton of trades, it looks like the Jazz currently own one 1st Round pick in the 2026 draft, and no 2nd round picks.
1st round pick
Utah will keep its own pick if it lands in the range of 1-8, and its obligation to Oklahoma City will be extinguished. Utah will then receive the most favorable of its 2026 1st round pick protected for selections 9-30, Minnesota's 2026 1st round pick and Cleveland's 2026 1st round pick.
If the Utah pick lands in the range of 9-30, it will go to Oklahoma City.
Other teams in play for this pick:
- San Antonio will receive the more favorable of its 2026 1st round pick and Atlanta's 2026 1st round pick.
- Minnesota will receive the less favorable of its pick and the Utah pick if conveyable [or its pick if the Utah pick is not conveyable].
- Atlanta will receive the more favorable of (i) the less favorable of its 2026 1st round pick and San Antonio's 2026 1st round pick and (ii) the less favorable of (a) the Cleveland pick and (b) the more favorable of the Utah pick if conveyable and the Minnesota pick [or (ii) the Cleveland pick if the Utah pick is not conveyable] and Cleveland will receive the less favorable of (i) and (ii) (if the Utah pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyable, then Minnesota's and Cleveland's obligations to Utah will be extinguished).
2nd round pick
If the Jazz pick is 31-55, it will belong to the Spurs. If it is 56-60, it will belong to the Bucks. The Jazz obligation to the team who doesn't get the pick is extinguished.
