International Prospects in the Draft for the Utah Jazz
The NBA is truly a worldwide league, boasting 135 international players from 43 countries at the beginning of the 2025-2026 season (NBA News, 10/22/25). So, as well as evaluating US college and G League prospects, team scouts also have the daunting task of crisscrossing the globe for new talent. Is there another Luka Doncic making […]
NBA Comparisons For Every Realistic Jazz Draft Target
This upcoming NBA Draft is looking like one of the all-time great drafts at the top. AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer are looking like an elite top-3 to choose from. What’s different about the optimism with this draft is that it seems warranted for these players. Let’s look at the best and worst […]
How Darryn Peterson Fits With Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Keyonte George
The Utah Jazz are working towards the most important draft in team history this month and the selection will come down to either AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson. On FanDuel, the odds of AJ Dybantsa going first keep rising and are now at -450. Every rumor seems to confirm this, and so it’s getting very […]
The Jazz need to take a glance at these five first-round prospects
I’m sure all of us are still intoxicated after the Jazz stole the show and acquired the second overall pick in this year’s NBA draft, despite the firm adamance of Wizards fans that the Jazz are miserable unless they move on from rookie Ace Bailey. What stands out, though, is that this is the only […]
Last but Not Least: 5 Second Round Sleepers the Jazz Could Trade For
The Jazz are set to have quite a good day this coming June 23rd – having tanked their way into the 2nd overall pick, the night of the first round of the NBA draft will be one of celebration and championship fantasizing. But should Jazz fans leave their schedule open on the 24th as well? […]
The One Skill That Makes AJ Dybantsa Different From Every Other Prospect
There are a lot of skills that evaluators look at when judging prospects, including basic stats like points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. There’s also the film study, the most important of all. But the best outcome is always when the eye test and the stats tell the same story. That story is being told […]
Is Victor Wembanyama the bringer of death for the rising Utah Jazz?
I am not well. Allow me to clarify. Physically, I’m doing great. I’ve been going on morning jogs more often; I’m working on eating well (though McDonald’s Japan just dropped spicy McNuggets, and I’m only a man). I feel energetic and healthy, despite my seared corneas due to my numerous hours spent playing Mina the […]
Should The Jazz Draft For Upside Or Fit?
It’s been almost three weeks since the NBA Lottery, when the #2 pick was given to the Utah Jazz. My guess is that a lot of Jazz fans were preparing themselves for disappointment, as always. But instead, it was shock and elation at their pick jumping in the lottery for the first time. Now, the […]
Why Cam Boozer Might Be The Perfect Franchise Player For Utah
If you were drafting a player solely on winning, Cam Boozer might be that player. In every competitive league that Boozer has been a part of, he’s been a winner. And not just a winner, but dominant. Don’t believe me, here’s a list of his accomplishments: If there’s one thing that Cam Boozer has done, […]
These experts have compared Darryn Peterson to LeBron, Kobe, Kevin Durant
I was a student reporter at Brigham Young University during Kevin Young’s first two seasons as the Cougars’ head coach. When AJ Dybantsa decided to sign with BYU, it was a content goldmine. Here was a 6-foot-9 player that had athleticism comparable to LeBron James, he already held millions of dollars in NIL endorsements and […]
2026 NBA Prospect Profile: Cameron Boozer
Cameron Boozer is one of the most NBA-ready players in the Draft. At 18, he has the build and height of Karl Malone, standing 6’9” in his gym socks and weighing in at an imposing 253 lbs. He averaged 22.7 points and 10.1 rebounds a game in a grueling ACC and March Madness schedule, starting […]
Who Gets Bumped? – Projecting the Jazz Rotation with an Incoming Rookie
With all the excitement after the NBA Draft Lottery, and leading up to the NBA Draft, it’s very easy to forget that there is a very fine line we must walk when it comes to our roster. After the season the Jazz just had, I know that it’s hard to imagine what a fully healthy, […]
Reports: Walker Kessler expected to re-sign with the Utah Jazz
One of the biggest question marks headed into the NBA’s offseason looks to have been answered before the Finals are even set. According to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler, who is set to be a restricted free agent this summer, is expected to re-sign and stay in Utah. “The consensus is that […]
Fan-voted prospect board: who Utah Jazz fans want at #2
It’s draft night. The lights dim as the spotlight illuminates the Barclays Center stage. Colors and logos flash from the jumbo video screen as NBA commissioner Adam Silver approaches the podium. A smile nearly as luminescent as the reflection from his cranium flashes across his face as he takes a final step and leans into […]
Why Darryn Peterson Might Be The Perfect Franchise Player For Utah
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 […]
The team that all Utah Jazz fans should keep an eye on: The Cleveland Cavaliers
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 […]
Ryan Smith is building the Jazz, Mammoth, around Utah’s identity
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 […]
2026 NBA Draft Prospect Profile: AJ Dybantsa
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 […]
Why the Jazz landing the No. 2 pick is a franchise-changing moment
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 reaches the NBA Finals in year one after his Utah Jazz tenure
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 […]
2026 NBA Draft Profile: Bennett Stirtz – Translating the Untranslatable
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 […]
Why AJ Dybantsa might be the perfect franchise player for Utah
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 […]
NBA Rumors: New lottery rule helps Utah, hurts Grizzlies
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 […]
Who’s Your All-Time Starting 5 from the Utah Jazz “Hall of Pretty Good?”
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 […]
Ace Bailey Named to All-Rookie Second Team
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 […]
