Was the Jazz starting lineup just revealed?
The first day of Utah Jazz training camp is done, and the social media videos are coming. The interesting thing is that the social media videos might have revealed the starting lineup for the upcoming season. If you watch the video, you can see Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf […]
Who is Brice Sensabaugh?
Very few days in Utah Jazz history have made me as excited as Thursday, June 22, 2023 – the night of that years NBA draft. As a plucky 18 year old, I (unwisely) fancied myself quite the prodigy in the draft field, and 7 to 10 P.M was my time to show off my stuff. […]
The Utah Jazz Hierarchy of Needs through quotes: Media Day 2026
Are you familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? It’s a concept that the needs of a human being fall into five distinct layers, typically visualized in the shape of a pyramid, with the most fundamental items required for survival at the bottom (air, food, water, shelter, etc.), and the least essential items (respect, status, and […]
Walker Kessler was ‘determined’ to leave the Utah Jazz one way or another
When the Jazz made the blockbuster trade for Jaren Jackson Jr. last February, a vision was put into place. A vision of a healthy Walker Kessler pairing up with JJJ to create the most daunting defensive rim presence in the NBA. Everyone was on board. Jackson Jr., Lauri Markkanen, Will Hardy, Danny Ainge, Austin Ainge, […]
Utah Jazz Training Camp: Storylines to Watch as Camp Opens This Week
WE ARE SO BACK! Almost, at least… The Utah Jazz will begin preparations for the highly anticipated 2026-27 season this week, starting Monday, September 28th, with media day. It feels like years ago that we sat in our living rooms together on Mother’s Day and watched as the Utah Jazz won the second overall pick […]

Ryan Smith is in on the MLB game Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith recently appeared on the Front Office Sports podcast and talked about his path to owning […]
The Utah Jazz have a lineup question
The Utah Jazz have a problem. Well, not really a problem, more of a tough decision. The Jazz have to decide what to do with their starting lineup, and it’s not a simple thing. Keyonte George, Lauri Markkanen, and Jaren Jackson Jr. are going to start. They’re the three players Utah has invested in with […]

Jazz legend Rudy Gobert stuns with new look at training camp
Once a Jazzman, always a Jazzman, and former Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert is an honorary member of the Jazz community for life. And thanks to perhaps the driest and most boring offseason in the history of professional basketball, I suppose fashion week is in order. And the Stifle Tower has delivered a perfect art […]
Darryn Peterson is about to shock the NBA
It’s clear that a lot of the NBA is starting to figure out that the Utah Jazz might be on the verge of a special season. But they’re not getting just how good it might be. But they’re missing the biggest point of all of this. Utah has a team that would have been a […]
The incentives in Keyonte George’s contract are great
Keyonte George’s contract is a real bargain at $157.5M over four years, but the incentives make it even more impressive. Shreyas Laddha had great coverage of the contract, and you can read more about it here. Before we get to the incentives, I loved some of the reasoning behind the contract and the Jazz’s bet […]
Best Quotes from the Keyonte George Press Conference
The Utah Jazz held a press conference for Keyonte George, who signed a new $157.5M contract. The press conference included Will Hardy, Ryan Smith, Danny Ainge, Austin Ainge, and Justin Zanik. It also was important to note that all of George’s teammates were there to support him. Here is the full press conference if you […]
Utah Jazz re-sign Keyonte George to contract extension
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz signed Keyonte George to a five-year contract extension worth $157.5M. The deal has no player or team options. It’s a fantastic deal for both Keyonte George and the Utah Jazz. George worked hard and took his game to another level last season, and he gets a big reward. […]
Drafting the Utah Jazz starting 5
Before I get started, I wanted to explain this idea. If you had to draft players from the Jazz starting five, what order would you draft them in? Not as if they were all rookies, but as the players they are today. I’m also assuming the Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, […]
I Do Not Want Myles Turner On The Utah Jazz
Last week, the Utah Jazz fandom found a new, shiny object of desire. It wouldn’t be the summertime without this tradition; I’ll remember fondly the days when I would contemplate longingly the backcourt fit of Donovan Mitchell and Jrue Holiday, or how Jerami Grant’s length could potentially shore up our perimeter defense. However, the new […]
What Utah’s defense with Jaren Jackson Jr. at center might look like
Probably the biggest question for the Utah Jazz this season is at center. After the Walker Kessler trade, Utah went from having a clear center rotation to facing major lineup questions. The problem has really come down to two options. Whether the Jazz want Jaren Jackson Jr. to start at center or to have recently […]
A new reality for Jazz fans is coming
If you’re wondering why this season feels different, it’s because it is. Jazz fans are entering territory they haven’t been in ever before. What territory am I talking about? I’m talking about the potential we have with Darryn Peterson. I’ve been spending the last few months since the draft and summer league trying to grasp […]
Keyonte George: Sun among the stars or a radiant supernova?
Do you ever stretch out on the Earth, gaze at the pinpricked majesty of the Lite-Brite night sky, and take a moment to consider your place in the universe? Ponder the scope of existence. Observe the celestial bodies that pierce the outer reaches of the void and flicker a message of awareness in our direction. […]

It’s one of the most anticipated seasons in Jazz history since they went for a repeat run to the Finals against Michael Jordan. Utah has been preparing for this new chapter for literal years, and they have the personnel to become something really special. Let’s take a look at five of the most interesting storylines […]
Survey Results: How Jazz fans feel about the Cody Williams trade
The Utah Jazz have made multiple unexpected moves this offseason, including the Cody Williams trade. Immediately when the trade happens, it’s hard to say how much you actually liked the move. With a little time having passed, Jazz fans have been able to digest all the elements of the trade, and here’s how happy they […]
Proof that Keyonte George will evolve into an all-star next season
Keyonte George was easily one of the most underrated players in the NBA last season. Surrounded by a cast of teammates that was pared down week after week, George continued to put up fantastic numbers as the most consistent playmaker for the season. Never forget the list of players like Kennedy Chandler, Walter Clayton, Andersson […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Post-Cody Williams Trade Reaction
With it being almost a week since the Cody Williams trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the dust has settled. But we haven’t really gotten a pulse on exactly how Jazz fans felt about it. That’s the center of the question for this week’s Utah Jazz Reacts survey. Did you feel like it was enough? Was […]

Utah Jazz Top 10 Trade Value Rankings – 2026/27
In the spirit of Bill Simmons and his NBA trade-value rankings, I wanted to rank the Utah Jazz players by how valuable they are as prospects. Just like with Bill Simmons’ trade value rankings, this isn’t ranking players from best to worst (even though that is a consideration) but rather a list of who is […]
The Five Stages of Cody Williams left Utah scarred
The only thing less rewarding than watching Cody Williams play basketball was holding to the hope that he could develop into a talented NBA-level contributor. The second lottery pick of the tanking era, the Utah Jazz selected Williams with the 10th overall pick in what was a putrid NBA Draft class. We knew it would […]
