SALT LAKE CITY — Danny Ainge traditionally has liked players who can score at a high level; he grabbed another one with Utah's third pick of the first round.

The Jazz took Ohio State's Brice Sensabaugh at No. 28. The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 16.3 points and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 48.2% from the field and 40.5% from 3-point range in his lone season as a Buckeye.

There are a couple red flags, though. He struggled defensively and has had knee issues.

Sensabaugh said Thursday that he's now 100% healthy and has taken strides on the defensive end since the end of the collegiate season.

The Jazz see him as a guy that has a high-end shot profile that can take (and make) difficult looks, and an underrated passer.
