Former Auburn big man Walker Kessler missed a few weeks for the Utah Jazz with a UCL sprain but made his return on Saturday with a double-double.
The seven-footer came off the bench in this game but was able to score 11 points on 5-10 shooting and pull down 11 rebounds.
Kessler is a big part of the future of the Jazz as the center is only 22 years old and will being playing for the Jazz for a very long time.
He will be a double-double machine once Kessler decides to start trying to score more. While he was only 50% from the field in his first game back against the Pelicans, it was great to see him attempt ten field goals.
Kessler is so tall and strong that not many people in the league can stop him when he is making a move in the post.
Hopefully, Kessler can continue to improve and become a player who averages a double-double for the Jazz.
I fully believe that Kessler can develop into one of the best big men thanks to his shot-blocking ability as long as he continues to develop his offensive game.
The former Auburn Tiger will finish the season strong for the Jazz as they try to turn their season around.
