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 […]

Utah Jazz Mock Draft Roundup

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 […]

NBA Draft Rumors: Cam Boozer stock rising?

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 […]

Remembering the legend and legacy of Joe Ingles

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 […]

Should the Utah Jazz trade up for the #1 pick?

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 […]

The Case For #2: Caleb Wilson

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, […]

Jawhawks on the Jazz: Ranking the Kansas Alum’s who have played in Utah

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.

Don’t you dare trade up, Utah

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 […]

Pigs Fly, Jazz Move Up in the Draft!

An instant reaction to the NBA draft lottery results. The integrity! Won’t someone please think of the integrity? The Utah Jazz have moved up in the draft for the first time in franchise history. They will be picking 2nd overall. The tanking, resting starters in the fourth, and fines have all lead to this moment. […]

The NBA is not ready for the Jazz if they win the NBA lottery

This Mother’s Day is probably the most consequential Mother’s Day in Utah Jazz history (I haven’t checked, I’m guessing, okay). The thing the NBA doesn’t realize is that it’s going to be consequential for the entire league, as well. Utah, even if they somehow lost their pick this year, would still be a playoff contender. […]

Jaylen Brown might be available, here’s a Jazz trade idea to get him

With an early exit from the playoffs, it looks like there’s trouble in Celtics land. There’s also reports out there that there might be something possible between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics. It’s a trade that makes sense for both sides but if the Bucks decide they’re not interested in Brown maybe the […]

Utah Jazz roll the dice with Keyonte George at the NBA Draft Lottery

As hilarious as it would have been to send one final middle finger in the direction of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Derrick Favors will not be the Utah Jazz’s representative for the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery. I know, I know. How poetic would it have been to display the long-tenured Jazzman on the podium as […]
