Jaren Jackson Jr. is going to have a monster season
Before I start, I wanted to give some shoutouts to some great resource material that has helped me understand some things better about Jaren Jackson Jr. First, if you haven’t read Parker Fleming’s Substack, he does great work on the Grizzlies, and you can find incredible work from him on Jaren Jackson Jr. This article […]
The Utah Jazz ‘Ball Knowledge’ Epidemic
In basketball, ‘ball knowledge’ refers to an internet trend where fans remember obscure, random role players from the past. One mentions Lucas Nogueira. Another name-drops Chris Copeland. Everyone in the room death stares at the guy who deems Monte Ellis as ‘elite ball knowledge’. But what constitutes as Utah Jazz ball knowledge? The Kyle Korvers […]
The Power of Friendship will propel the Utah Jazz
At the risk of dinging my cool guy/super athlete online persona, I’ve been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my Switch 2 lately. When working as a freelance writer, one is inclined to collect as many contracts as possible, and in my case, one of those contracts is as a video game reviewer. […]
Discussion: What Are The Best “Micro-Skills” In Franchise History?
Joe Ingles is returning to the NBL, and, like any of us would, his home nation has questions regarding his 12 year NBA career. Ingles recently sat down with Pete Hooley (former NBL Champion) for an interview/test of his memory on his time playing basketball in the United States – naturally, this conversation centered around […]
Jazz fans voted this bench player to be the most impactful next season
In our latest Jazz Reacts survey, I asked Jazz fans which of our draft picks that will come off the bench will have the most impact next season. I focused on the Jazz draft picks because I’m only allowed 4 choices it’ll be fascinating to see who of them, if any, can take things to […]
NBA Offseason Rumors: Utah’s trade priority revealed
The Utah Jazz have had an incredible offseason by all accounts. Whether it was the luck of winning the lottery and getting Darryn Peterson with the second pick, or getting an incredible haul for Walker Kessler in a trade that took advantage of a desperate Lakers squad. With the recent ownership drama with the Lakers, […]
The Utah Jazz couldn’t have asked for a better early schedule
Goodness gracious, talk about a schedule. With a slew of opponents that will likely compete for lottery balls instead of wins, and two challenging opponents who can provide a measuring stick for an upstart roster. The Utah Jazz open the 2026-27 regular season in the same way I open the front door to the local […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Which draft pick off the bench will have the biggest impact?
The Utah Jazz are going into the season with a pretty clear core of five players that Jazz fans are looking most forward to watching: Darryn Peterson, Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson Jr., Ace Bailey, and Lauri Markkanen. But winning teams can’t win only with their stars, they need role and bench players contributing as well. […]
I Did a Deep Dive on Jaxson Hayes. Here’s What I Learned.
Do you remember how nice it was when the Jazz used to have a good defense? I won’t blame you if you say no – 2022 was the last defense Utah has put forth that has been above league average, and even then, everyone knew it was a paper tiger. In recent years, the Jazz […]
Jazz Reacts: Here’s how excited Jazz fans are for this season
For what feels like the first time in some time, the excitement is palpable for the upcoming Utah Jazz season. With the addition of Darryn Peterson in the lottery, the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr., and the clear goal of pushing for wins, Jazz fans are excited for a season like they haven’t been since […]
Utah Jazz Regular Season Schedule Released
The Utah Jazz regular season schedule was released today. The Jazz did a great job with the reveal, with this amazing video featuring Thurl Bailey. Here’s a look at the full schedule from the Jazz. Some quick notes of interest. The return of Walker Kessler is just three games into the season (10/25). It’ll be […]
Utah Jazz face stiff competition in the NBA preseason
I hope you aren’t banking on the reformed Utah Jazz to go undefeated through preseason play, because your first peek at the new-era Jazz will be against some of the biggest stars in the NBA. Namely, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, followed immediately by a dance with Victor Wembanyama and the runner-up San Antonio […]
Jazz Fan Survey: How excited are you about this season?
This season, the Jazz will be trying something they haven’t tried for four years: to make the playoffs. There is a real shot for them to make it, too. With the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Grizzlies and Darryn Peterson from the draft, they’ve added some top-tier talent. Combine that with the leap […]
NBA Offseason Rumors: New Kevin Love Information
Last season, the Utah Jazz brought on Kevin Love as part of the John Collins three-team trade that helped continue the tank last season. Before the season started, it was rumored that Kevin Love might not be too interested in joining the Jazz once he got there. In fact, we’re almost exactly a year away […]
Jazz fan survey results: What Jazz fans think is possible
The Utah Jazz are going to have one of the most interesting seasons of any team this season. What makes it so interesting, besides the shift toward playoff contention, is how many different storylines there are to watch. Multiple players will be competing for different awards and accolades. Whether it’s Darryn Peterson, Keyonte George, Jaren […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Which award is most likely?
The best part of the upcoming season for the Utah Jazz is that there are many potentially great outcomes for multiple players. For Keyonte George, he has a chance to take another step in his development, and it’s exciting to think about what that means. Jaren Jackson Jr. gets to be on a winning basketball […]
Did the Jazz fleece the Lakers in the Kessler trade more than we thought?
Beside LeBron James choosing the 76ers, the Jazz trading Walker Kessler to the Lakers for a crazy amount of picks was probably the biggest surprise of the offseason. Utah received two future unprotected picks as well as two pick swaps from the Lakers. The pick swaps are in 2028 and 2030 while the PIcks are […]
Jazz Fan Survey Results: How far will the Jazz go next season?
The Utah Jazz will be good next year. The question is how good. With the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr. last season, along with Darryn Peterson in the draft, it was looking like the record was going to improve a lot next season. The Walker Kessler trade complicated things, but it’s not clear how much. […]
How Good Will The Utah Jazz Defense Be This Season?
Last season defense was hard to come by for the Utah Jazz as they allowed an NBA worst 126 points per game. How will they fare this year with Walker Kessler’s departure and a retooled roster with its sights set on a playoff spot? There’s no question that losing Kessler to the Lakers is a […]
Proof that Darryn Peterson has a devastating crossover
Darryn Peterson came into the NBA touted as the best shooter in the draft, with the potential to be more as a lead guard. That potential became very apparent in Peterson’s first game against the Washington Wizards when he showed off an incredible crossover that left Jamir Watkins stumbling. It turns out that crossover might […]
Isaiah Collier’s steady supply chain will satiate generations
The Isaiah Collier discourse sure has subsided, hasn’t it? Nobody has anything to say about this first-round pick these days, but during an offseason filled with anxiety, I suppose no news is good news. Darryn Peterson struggled to whip the ball through the net against [blatantly illegal] aggressive 10-foul defensive schemes of the Las Vegas […]
I Did a Deep Dive on Josh Okogie. Here’s What I Learned.
We are officially into the doldrums of the offseason – Summer League is behind us, free agency is all but over, and we still have months until we first see our new team take the floor. It is in these doldrums that one begins to ponder the real questions of the soul: am I leading […]
Utah’s front office has had an incredible offseason
It’s been an active offseason for the Utah Jazz, and a really successful one. But more for the move they didn’t do than the ones they did. Recently, the Utah Jazz made what might have been the best move of the offseason that didn’t get celebrated as much as the splashiest moves. Utah deciding to […]
Utah Jazz Reacts Survey: How will the season end?
The Utah Jazz are coming into the season as maybe the most unpredictable team in either conference. No one is sure what to make of this collection of talent. Will the players achieve a level of cohesion and become better than the sum of their parts? Or will they struggle with the blend of youth […]
