Before the college season started, Darryn Peterson was considered by most draft experts as the consensus #1 pick. His high school tape is as good as any guard prospect we’ve seen with his combination of physical tools, skill level, and production. It’s as good as it gets. But things got a little murky when he […]
Four seasons, two rebrands, two top-five picks and one worst record in the league have transpired, and now, the Utah Jazz have come through the other side of the rebuild with a team that looks ready to compete in 2026-27. But the fruits of this rebuild have not stopped blooming. Not even close. In 2028 […]
The initial round of Ryan Smith’s Utah Jazz rebrand didn’t go according to plan. That is, unless the plan was to make Walker Kessler visible from space while simultaneously removing any concept of “design” from the team’s identity. Highlighter yellow on a bed of black. The new threads in Utah were clearly hideous and universally […]
If you somehow haven’t heard about how good this kid is, maybe this will catch you up to speed. There is very little to dislike about the BYU product’s game: he’s strong, he’s physical, he has all of the measurables to do well at the NBA level, he can play multiple positions, he’s comfortable being […]
On May 10th, 2026, the Utah Jazz won the No. 2 pick at the NBA Draft Lottery. Marking the first time in Jazz history they’ve moved up in the lottery, it’s been a little over two weeks since the Jazz were able to move up. If I’m being honest, I don’t think Jazz fans are […]
Jordan Clarkson’s role for the New York Knicks looks a lot different than it did with the Utah Jazz. The now 33-year-old, 12-year NBA vet only comes in for a few minutes a game, and is not the flamethrower that he once was in Utah. But on Monday night, in a game in which he […]
I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right – Bennett Stirtz is definitely not one of the Big 3 prospects that the Jazz need to consider with their 2nd overall pick. However, players with Stirtz’s combination of ball handling, shooting versatility, and awareness don’t come around often, and deserve to be scouted in the event […]
Before I dive in, I wanted to cover the three players that the Utah Jazz are projected to have the option to pick on draft night. AJ Dybantsa appears to be the consensus #1 pick and will likely be going to the Washington Wizards on June 23. That said, it’s not a foregone conclusion that […]
New rumors about the upcoming lottery changes have leaked and were reported by Kevin O’Connor. In that reporting, some questions have been answered about changes to different pick streaks, namely: can teams pick 1st in the draft multiple times, and how often can teams pick in the top-5? Here’s what O’Connor reported: “… there is […]
When you root for a team that isn’t in the playoffs anymore it’s very natural to reminisce on what you used to have. When you root for a team that didn’t make the playoffs at all that kind of thought only comes more quickly. For about three months now I’ve been coasting through this season […]
The NBA All-Rookie teams were announced today, and Ace Bailey landed a spot on the second team. This is the first Jazz All-Rookie team selection since 2024 – in 2025, both Collier and Filipowski narrowly missed out on a spot. While many Jazz fans were hoping that Ace could snag a First Team spot, a […]
The NBA Draft is getting closer, and the mixed signals are flying right and left, and it’s hard to know for sure what the Utah Jazz might do at #2. Everything obviously depends on what the Washington Wizards do at #1. The odds makers at FanDuel have the Wizards at -320 to take AJ Dybantsa […]
According to Fortyeightminutes, Cam Boozer may be higher on boards than people expect. Here’s what they said about AJ Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards. It looks like he may be more or less a lock to go #1. Some NBA Teams are seeing little gap between AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson, which form a clear […]
Broad stance, elbow secured, ball held high above his forehead, the silhouette of Joe Ingles’ jump shot alone should spark warm memories for those fortunate enough to witness the Aussie’s prime with the Utah Jazz. With the recent announcement that Jinglin’ Joe would return home to Melbourne United of the Australian NBL, the NBA community […]
Outside of drafting two hall-of-famers in a row in John Stockton and Karl Malone, the Utah Jazz jumping to #2 in the 2026 could be considered the second-best stroke of luck in franchise history. But it’s so much more than simply jumping in the lottery. If we’re just looking at that in a vacuum, it […]

After reigning MVP and the runner-up for MVP in 2019, James Harden and the rest of the Houston Rockets gentlemen-swept the Utah Jazz 4-1 in April of 2019 and beat the Jazz for the second year in a row in the playoffs, the Jazz decided it was time to change it up and “upgrade” the […]
The highlights speak for themselves; if this was any other year Caleb Wilson could very well go #1 overall in the NBA Draft. This year just so happens to be stacked with NBA ready talent. This draft in particular has been touted as a “Big 3” draft between Cam Boozer, AJ Dybantsa, and Darryn Peterson, […]
The Utah Jazz are entering next season with what is likely going to be a problem, a good problem. The core for the future is looking like the following six players: Keyonte George, Ace Bailey, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., Walker Kessler, and either AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson. The issue the Jazz are going […]
According to Jeremy Woo, the Utah Jazz have reached out to the Washington Wizards … about potentially trading up… From Marc J. Spears article, where he credits Jeremy Woo: Dybantsa is the top prospect in the draft, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Woo. The Jazz have reached out to the Washington Wizards, who have the No. […]
According to Adam Finkelstein, the intel floating around Chicago during the combine was that AJ Dybantsa was hoping to stay in Utah. From Finkelstein: That comment by Dybantsa was also consistent with one of the most repeated pieces of intel floating around Chicago this week: that Dybantsa was reportedly hoping to stay in Utah. He’s […]
The NBA draft lottery has come and gone, and now it is time to think very critically about the potential options for the Jazz at the #2 selection. However, I am going to leave that job for someone smarter than myself – instead, I will view the awe-inspiring Mr. Darryn Peterson through the lens of […]
It’s been a big day for the top prospects in the NBA draft, and there were some surprising results for the prospects the Utah Jazz will be looking at in the Draft. Here are some of the most important highlights. AJ Dybantsa A lot of eyes were on Dybantsa as he came into the draft […]

It happened. The Utah Jazz moved up in the NBA Draft Lottery. After three years of soul-searching, serial-killer-esque bulletin-boarding, and mass panic flowing through the bloodstream of every resident in the greater Salt Lake City area (you remember), all of the tanking has been worth it. An empty viewing experience, hoping your team loses every […]
