With the Utah Jazz still in rebuilding mode, third-year center Walker Kessler is one of this year's bright spots. The big man is averaging a career best 10.2 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, according to ESPN. He is a proven defensive force with about 2.5 blocks an outing.
While Kessler's numbers make him highly desirable to other teams across the league, so far the Jazz seem determined to hang on to the reliable and effective player.
"The former first-round pick in the 2022 NBA draft is still on his rookie contract and will hit restricted free agency following the 2025-26 season. He'll become eligible for an extension during the 2025 offseason," Bleacherreport.com states. The article notes the Jazz have rejected multiple offers for Kessler.
