The Utah Jazz selected Will Riley at No. 21 overall on Wednesday in the 2025 NBA Draft. Riley played college basketball at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Riley is with the Jazz in name only, because he is [expected to be traded to the Washington Wizards](https://www.bulletsforever.com/2025/6/25/24456018/nba-draft-2025-washington-wizards-walter-clayton-no-18-overall-utah-jazz-trade-rumor), according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
