The Jazz today will get an up-close look at Roy Hibbert, a 7-foot-2 senior center from Georgetown University who several Internet sites predict will be taken by Utah with its No. 23 overall first-round selection in the June 26 NBA Draft.

Hibbert averaged 13.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game for the Hoyas last season.

Among the mock drafts guessing he's headed to the Jazz: ESPN.com, HoopsHype.com, SI.com and CollegeHoops.net.

Also working out along with Hibbert this morning will be University of Utah senior guard Johnnie Bryant, who is not expected to be taken in the two-round NBA draft.

It's the first in a succession of Jazz-hosted workouts leading up to the draft.

Among the many others expected to audition before the month is done: 7-foot Stanford sophomore center Robin Lopez, also a possible Jazz first-round pick, and 6-11 BYU junior center Trent Plaisted, regarded by some teams and multiple mocks as a probable second-round pick.
