With the No. 58 pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Yale guard Miye Oni, who has reportedly been traded to the Utah Jazz according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Ivy Leaguer made his mark this year as a well-rounded player with excellent length and athleticism that could easily find a home in the NBA. Oni showed continued progression through his time with the Bulldogs, averaging 17.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in his final season.

What the analysts are saying

  • "Oni’s length, strength, and agility on the wing made him as heavily scouted as any Ivy League prospect in recent memory, and he’s flashed a solid all-around game that puts him in play in the second round. He can knock down spot-up threes and is a solid passer, rebounder, and shot-blocker who contributes across the box score." - Sports Illustrated's Jeremy Woo
