Every Prospect We Know The Jazz Have Worked Out So Far
Unlike in the past, the Utah Jazz have become a very intriguing workout destination because of the #2 pick. That means the caliber of player coming in to work out with the Jazz will be much higher. Below is a list of all the prospects that have worked out with the Jazz that we know […]
Utah Jazz Free Agency: Walker Kessler offer revealed, Kessler not happy
According to Tim MacMahon on Utah ESPN 700 Radio, Walker Kessler has received an offer from the Utah Jazz for a 5-year, $ 140 M deal, but apparently it wasn’t enough. MacMahon was asked if he thinks that Kessler wants to play in Utah, and he responded: “… for more than 5 years, $140M.” It […]
NBA Trade Rumors: Trae Young news that affects the Jazz draft
According to Jake Fischer, Trae Young is the backup target for teams who strike out on the Giannis sweepstakes. The team Fischer mentions is the Miami Heat, but there are apparently other teams out there that might be interested. From Fischer: I’ve also been advised that there are a few teams out there which have […]
NBA Draft Rumors: Darryn Peterson going #1?
According to Ben Anderson, Darryn Peterson’s camp is “very confident they are going #1,” and this is the reason for the change of plans to work out with the Utah Jazz. Does this mean that Darryn Peterson is avoiding Utah because he doesn’t want to play in Utah? It doesn’t look it. It appears that […]
The Utah Jazz are fumbling Walker Kessler’s contract talks… again.
The Utah Jazz’s offseason checklist listed just two crucial items from the moment the regular season concluded: maximize value through the draft, and re-sign Walker Kessler. Somebody please explain, then, why Kessler and the Jazz are butting heads in contract negotiations for the second straight offseason. With restricted free agency soon approaching, reports are sprouting […]
Report: Darryn Peterson Will Not Meet With Utah Jazz Before the Draft
With the draft a little over a week away, we have either received big news regarding what teams may end up doing, or we’re seeing more of the posturing and media manipulation that dominates this time of the year. It’s important to take note of what Shams did and did not say. From this tweet, […]
Sell Me On Your Favorite Jazz Draft Prospect
It’s happening right now in the Utah Jazz front office. The front office is holding workouts with different players, reviewing notes from those workouts, discussing player rankings, and conducting background research. On top of that, they’re likely taking calls on the #2 pick from teams wanting to trade up, while also trying to figure out […]
Why is Bill Simmons so sure the Utah Jazz will draft Cameron Boozer?
For most people familiar with the Utah Jazz, the answer to who the Jazz will select with the No. 2 overall pick comes down to whoever the Washington Wizards don’t select: AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson. But one prominent NBA media figure seems dead set in his stance that the Jazz will select Duke big […]
Can the Utah Jazz win a title in the NBA’s parity era?
The NBA is in an unprecedented era of parity. When the New York Knicks beat San Antonio in game five on Saturday, it was the eighth unique NBA champion in the past eight seasons, dating back to the Toronto Raptors’ title in 2019. That’s 26.67% of the league that has won a title in less […]
Jazz Draft: Who should Utah take with the second pick?
The most obvious answer to this question is “whoever the Wizards don’t pick between AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson.” Right now on FanDuel, AJ Dybantsa is at the highest it’s been all draft season at -500. Those aren’t the astronomical odds that were set for Cooper Flagg and Victor Wembanyama, but it’s interesting they keep […]
Is This Finally The Player Who Ends Utah’s Rebuild?
Whether the Utah Jazz wanted it to or not, the rebuild would end this upcoming season. The Jaren Jackson Jr. trade last season was a clear sign that the Jazz would be a competitive team. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was worried that the Jazz might not lose enough games once they […]
Should the Utah Jazz Trade Up for the #1 Pick?
There’s only one reason the Utah Jazz should try to loosen the Washington Wizards’ vice-like grip on the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft: AJ Dybantsa. Combine his elite athleticism, prolific scoring and defensive potential with his close ties with Utah and the Jazz organization and we’re looking at a prospect who could thrill […]
The Pressure On Utah’s Front Office Has Never Been Higher
It’s been exactly one month since the Utah Jazz won the NBA lottery, and each day the pressure mounts as we get closer to draft day. In some drafts, the #1 pick is a foregone conclusion, like with Cooper Flagg and Victor Wembanyama. The thing that makes this draft so unique, and a great one […]
The (Short) History of the Utah Jazz and the 2nd Overall Pick
The Jazz are lined up to select 2nd overall in the upcoming NBA Draft, and this is a unique position for the franchise. They have finished with a losing record in only 18 of their 52 seasons in the league, and in those rare losing seasons, they are rarely subsequently blessed with a high draft […]
NBA Draft Rumor: Utah wants which player?
On the most recent Bill Simmons podcast, Simmons talked with J Kyle Mann about the upcoming NBA draft. You can listen to the entire podcast here (the draft talk takes place in the second half): Simmons talked a lot about who he thinks the Utah Jazz might draft, and he thinks it could be Cam […]

On the Sean O’Connell Show, Krysten Peek joined the show to talk about all things NBA Draft, and she brought some incredible insight and intel. If you haven’t listened, make sure you do here: If you don’t have a chance to listen, here are the different insights she brought:
Which Top Prospect Would Survive Utah Twitter Best?
The Utah Jazz will have the opportunity to draft a generational player regardless of who the Washington Wizards pick at #1. Two of AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer will be there to pick, depending on what the Wizards do. But of all those three prospects, who will survive Utah Twitter the best? Let’s […]
The Utah Jazz won’t flinch in the 2026 NBA Draft
Forgive me for the Brian Windhorst-esque two-fingers-in-the-air impression I’m currently performing as I lean back in my office chair, but I just have to ask: What is going on in Washington? Yes, while the rest of the NBA world has its eyes on the NBA Finals and the New York Knicks’ violent uprising against Victor […]
NBA Mock Draft Roundup: Who The Experts Think Utah Will Take
It’s time for another check-in for the latest mock drafts around the league. We’re seeing a lot of smoke screens out there, but with that smoke, is there some fire? Last time we did a roundup, it was chalk across the board with AJ Dybantsa to Washington, Darryn Peterson to Utah, Cam Boozer to Memphis, […]
What The No. 2 Pick Means For Utah’s Long-Term Cap Sheet
The NBA can be pretty simple. There’s one ball and five players. If you have one of the best players in the league handling the ball the majority of the time, your team is going to win a lot of games. The issue that teams run into is the salaries. Teams rise and fall with […]
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? […]
