Utah Jazz Survey Results: What should happen at center?
The Utah Jazz came out of the 2026 NBA Draft on the verge of a breakout season. All that was left for the Jazz was to re-sign Walker Kessler. It felt like it was an inevitability until the news that the Lakers agreed to give the Jazz every asset they had to bring Walker Kessler […]
Offseason Grades: How Are The Jazz Doing So Far?
The offseason isn’t technically over – we’re all waiting on pins and needles for the Mario Hezonja decision – but the transactions have slowed substantially, and it looks like the Jazz have the majority of their roster set for the 2026-2027 season. We’ve consistently been told that this past season was the last in terms […]
NBA Trade Rumors: Are the Jazz part of the LeBron James decision?
We’re at the part of the summer where LeBron James is controlling the basketball narratives because there’s nothing to talk about. Apparently, the decision would have happened by now had Adam Silver not rushed him. Apparently, James is just like us and gets irritated by Adam Silver too. But that may just be a ruse. […]
Utah Jazz Reacts Survey: What should happen at center?
The Utah Jazz have mostly solidified their roster for the upcoming season post the Walker Kessler trade. They signed Jaxson Hayes and Mo Bamba to solidify the center position on the roster. That doesn’t mean they couldn’t do more. It’s possible for the Jazz to make a trade to improve that position if they wanted […]
‘The Summer I Turned Into Harvey Dent’, starring Darryn Peterson
“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Those are the immortal words of Harvey Dent, Two-Face, from Christopher Nolan’s epic The Dark Knight. I watched The Odyssey; I witnessed the pasty vampire from Twilight (also Bruce Wayne in The Batman, ironically) overcome his tragic microbangs to attempt […]
Every Jazzman Who Competed at the FIBA World Cup and How They Performed
As big of a fan as I am of basketball, I am JUST as big of a fan of the world of footy. Every four years a huge percentage of American’s pretend to care about the game for a few weeks up until the point that the USMNT loses in the knockout rounds, and then […]
Survey Results: Jazz fans say who they think will have the best career
In our latest Jazz Reacts survey, I asked who Jazz fans think will have the best career between Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson, and Cam Boozer. Here’s how Jazz fans feel. Probably not a surprise that Jazz fans believe that the Jazz prospect will have the best career. But it’s not a stretch to […]
NBA Trade Rumors: The Jazz should trade for this available center
According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks are fielding offers for Daniel Gafford. Stein goes on to say: Is Daniel Gafford going to be on this team by season’s end? It’s not an answerable question at this point. We know he’s available. This is the perfect type of move for the Utah Jazz. Gafford isn’t […]
Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers Summer League recap and final score
The Utah Jazz won their final summer league game against the Portland Trail Blazers 83-79. It was a fun game that came down to the wire, with a few Jazz players showing promise that could help the team. The player who surprisingly didn’t help as much as you’d hope was Blake Hinson, who shot just […]
Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers: Preview, start time, how to watch
The Utah Jazz will take on the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game of the Las Vegas Summer League. They will also be doing it without their three most prominent summer league players: Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, and Cody Williams. It’s been a very up-and-down summer league for Utah for multiple players. Darryn Peterson […]
The One Skill That Makes Darryn Peterson Different From Every Other Prospect
Darryn Peterson has had as big a microscope on him as any prospect in the draft. Because he went #2, and let everyone know he felt like he should be #1, everyone has been watching to see if he was right. His two games in the Salt Lake City Summer League were electric, with his […]
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs: Recap and final score
Jazz fans got a nice surprise today when they found out that Darryn Peterson would be suiting up to play again in Summer League tonight. It’s very likely it had something to do with comments made by Caleb Wilson after Peterson didn’t play against Chicago. If there’s one thing I’ve loved about Darryn Peterson it’s […]
Jazz vs Spurs Player Grades: Tanking in Summer League?
Another game, another piece of evidence for my theory that the Utah Jazz Summer League team was replaced with clones somewhere on their way from Salt Lake to Las Vegas. Every year, I forget just how sloppy Summer League basketball is played – perhaps my expectations shouldn’t be so high. Nevertheless, the players are out […]
Darryn Peterson listed as available for Utah’s Summer League game vs. SAS
A keen eye’s glance at the Utah Jazz Summer League injury report would reveal that one prominent name is shockingly absent: Darryn Peterson. Despite being deactivated prior to Utah’s blowout win against fourth-overall pick Caleb Wilson and the Chicago Bulls (this team really comes alive without Peterson, don’t they), Utah’s prized draft selection and prophesied […]
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs Preview: What To Look For During Summer League Doldrums?
Writing this preview, I am in quite the dilemma. I intend to drum up anticipation for the Jazz to play the Spurs this Wednesday at 7:30 PM MDT. However, I do not intend to mislead the reader by making it seem that this game matters more than it does. I’m rooting for each of these […]
Utah Jazz Survey: Which rookie will have the best career?
NBA Summer League is in full effect, and we’ve gotten an incredible showing from each of the first four draft picks: AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, and Caleb Wilson. Yes, it’s only summer league, but we’ve seen that all four of these prospects have the potential to have incredible careers. More than likely, these […]
Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls Recap: This Is Not What Naismith Intended
Vegas has not been kind to Utah before their game against Chicago, and their game against Chicago was not kind to those who decided to tune in and watch. This is the stat to best exemplify the struggle it was to get through this game – there were 54 fouls combined between both teams in […]
Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls preview: Raising the white flag
The Jazz, in fact, did not get to see Darryn Peterson and the Jazz come out with a dominant second game in Las Vegas. Quite the contrary; they were completely overwhelmed and throttled. Now the Jazz have officially been eliminated from Summer League Championship play. The roster, thus far, hasn’t shown many standouts that make […]
Has Darryn Peterson Shown Enough in Summer League?
Darryn Peterson has now played four games as a member of the Utah Jazz. Two in Salt Lake City in the SLC Summer League and two in Las Vegas. It is highly doubtful that he will suit up for the Jazz again this summer, as Sarah Todd of Deseret News reported that he will be […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers recap: Jazz vets post a collective no-show
Family reunions so rarely live up to expectations. Your uncle’s fork stabbed into your macaroni. A mildly racist conversation leaving nearby tables in an agonizing hush. Cody Williams posting a goose egg on the box score. We all know the feeling. It was a Summer night to forget for the Utah Jazz Summer League squad, […]
Adam Silver slights the Utah Jazz again
If you didn’t see, the Utah Jazz had planned to have Keyonte George coach their summer league team in their first game in Las Vegas. It was a really fun idea and seemed like a great way to get more involvement with Keyonte George with the Jazz’s new young rookie, Darryn Peterson. Well, the NBA […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers preview: Time to let off some steam
After years and years of mundane basketball, Jazz fans finally had something to be anticipating. A #1 vs. #2 pick matchup that headlined the NBA. Of course, our own Jazzlings were on the back-end of this event, but this is nothing to hold your head over. Utah is back, and they’re getting the attention they […]
Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards recap: Darryn Peterson is only a man
It’s on nights like these that I’m reminded of the ravine that divides the NBA from all other levels of basketball. This Summer League tilt was sloppy on both sides, and not many fringe players earned an NBA contract tonight, by the looks of it. This matchup has always been about the number-one pick AJ […]
Utah Jazz News: New center signing and another Adam Silver letdown
According to multiple sources, the Utah Jazz have signed Mo Bamba to a two-year deal. According to Tony Jones, the deal includes a partial guarantee for the first season and a team option for the second. That’s basically it as far as centers go for the Jazz. They obviously aren’t interested, as of this moment, […]
Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards: Summer League Preview, start time, how to watch
It has been a long time since the Jazz last played a meaningful game I desperately wanted them to win, and it is unhealthy how excited I am for this matchup. After a solid three games in the SLC Summer League, the Jazz head south to Las Vegas, and as hot as the desert sun […]
