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 […]
Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder recap: final SLC Summer League game
The Utah Jazz capped off a perfect 3-0 run through their home summer showcase with a dominant 103-69 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. It may not have been pretty, but the Jazz got the job done. Unlike the first two games, none of Utah’s draft […]
Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder Summer League Player Grades
No Cody, Ace, or Darryn Peterson? No problem. Lesser known Jazzmen dominate OKC 103-69 in their final Summer League game at the Huntsman Center. Blake Hinson -C Tonight wasn’t Hinson’s strongest shooting performance, but he still hit a pair of threes. Hinson is just a very solid player, and has shown to be a very […]
Utah Jazz vs OKC Thunder: Summer League Preview, Start Time, How to Watch
Jazz fans could not have asked for anything more than what we have seen during the first two games of the Salt Lake City Summer League. On day one, Ace Bailey looked both huge and improved. On day two, Cody Williams flashed confidence and capabilities beyond what we have seen during his first two seasons. […]
Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies recap and final score: The NBA deserves better scouts
Darryn Peterson took over the media world two days ago in the Utes’ own Huntsman Center. A 28-point debut? Theoretically implausible. But what about Peterson’s eight turnovers? Maybe he isn’t a winning player. Maybe he is just as selfish as everyone said he was. That would’ve been my conclusion if I hadn’t watched Peterson completely […]
Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer in a gladiator match at SLC Summer League
Darryn Peterson is such an obvious superstar. As the Utah Jazz lined up a Salt Lake City matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, Utah’s number-two draft pick, Darryn Peterson, and the Grizzlies number-three selection, Cameron Boozer, squared off for the first time since draft night. Carlos Boozer, Cam’s father and a scout for the Utah Jazz, […]
Three Utah stars to sit out Summer League game on Tuesday
In a recent news break by Sarah Todd, the Utah Jazz plan to sit Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, and Cody Williams on Tuesday’s Salt Lake Summer League matchup against Aday Mara, Bennett Stirtz, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ace Bailey has been sidelined with back spasms and is currently listed as day-to-day, though Todd insists […]
Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies: Summer League Preview, start time, how to watch
If you are anything like me, you have been watching highlights from the Utah Jazz summer league victory on Saturday afternoon incessantly with a massive cheesy grin every single time. Luckily for people like us, the Jazz take the floor once again, this time against a familiar face in Taylor Hendricks and the #3 overall […]
Utah Jazz add depth with new signing of Creighton guard
According to Jake Fischer, the Utah Jazz have signed Trey Alexander to a two-way contract. Alexander is a 6’5” guard who played at Creighton. His last two seasons have been with New Orleans and Denver, where he’s played a total of 33 games. His sample size last season is just 9 games, so it’s a […]
