Utah Jazz: BYU's Plaisted to work out for Jazz

Published: Monday, June 23 2008 2:08 p.m. MDT

BYU center Trent Plaisted will work out for the Utah Jazz on Tuesday morning.

It will be the Jazz's last scheduled workout prior to Thursday night's NBA Draft.

Plaisted, measured at 6-foot-10¼ with shoes, is projected by most Internet mock drafts to be a second-round selection.

He is an early entrant to the draft, having decided to leave BYU after a junior season in which he averaged 15.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game for the Cougars.

Plaisted will audition along with draft hopeful Steven Hill, a 7-foot center from the University of Arkansas.
