Utah State shooting guard Jaycee Carroll is one of five NBA Draft hopefuls scheduled to work out for the Jazz this morning.

The others: Texas A&M power forward Joseph Jones, Louisville small forward Juan Palacios, Davidson point guard Jason Richards and Alabama-Birmingham forward Walter Sharpe.

None is considered a first-round prospect for Thursday night's draft.

Carroll also worked out for the Jazz last year, before deciding to return to Utah State.

The Wyoming native averaged 22.4 points and shot 52.6 percent from the field (including 49.8 percent from 3-point range) during his senior season for the Aggies, when he became Utah State's all-time leading scorer and earned Western Athletic Conference player-of-the-year honors.
