It seems that for now three players secured their place in the starting five (Lauri, Keyonte and Kessler) because they simply have no serious internal competition. The last two spots, at PF/SF and SG/PG, which are currently filled by Hendricks and Sexton are different: one make a case for...

I know he is the Finnisher and is good at that. However, most of the elite teams now have a secondary or even a primary playmaker among their forwards/centers in addition to a passing guard and it opens so much. The Jazz also thrived when they had Olynyk. And I am not asking for much...

The Jazz have a bunch of young players. Who do you think will pan out and be a starter in the 2026/27 season (when, I hope, the Jazz will be done with the rebuild and try to compete again)? I limited the selections to three, since, realistically, two other starting spots will be taken by someone...

It is apparent that the Jazz want to move forward with Lauri being one of the core players to build around. And we know that the impact that Lauri has on the game is highly dependent on what kind of players he is surrounded with. So I dived in the last season lineups to see who Lauri thrived...

Ok, so we had our predictions for how much of improvement will our players show in the summer league. The consensus was that Hendricks and Brice would improve the most, while Kessler - the least. We saw them playing, so who actually showed some clear progress and who was essentially the same...

Last season the Jazz achieved something remarkable in the NBA: they produced the worst defense in 2023-24 AND the worst defense of all time: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/worst-team-defensive-rating-in-season-nba-history. This the thread will be dedicated to covering the incredible journey...

Ingles just signed a 1-year deal with MN for for 3.3.million, mostly for the veteran leadership. Why wasn't it the Jazz who signed him for that exact purpose? We have a ton of young players and not enough savvy veterans ready to talk and share the basketball wisdom. Plus Joe is the Jazz legend...

There was a lot of talk about should the Jazz trade Lauri or not, maybe too much talk, but much of discussion was held from the position of the team. But Lauri has his own agency and we all know that when a star player makes up his mind to leave the team eventually abides. Now, can you put...

OK, so the Summer League is coming. And, besides the rookies we have a lot of young players who we want to take a next step. So, who worked hard since the end of the season and who will be essentially the same player? Let's try to predict it and vote who will be looking the most improved and who...

Assuming that the Jazz do not trade it. Let's see if we can predict it.

Is the current Jazz front office bad at it? I remember how two years ago the rebuild started and we were excited to see how several young players who the Jazz just got will develop: Agbaji, Kessler, THT, Vanderbilt, NAW. And now all of them were let go and Kessler is very likely seem to be on...

I always enjoyed watching Jazz players grow and develop both their basketball skills and "human" qualities (leadership, resilience, maturity). Coming into the last season I was especially interested in how it would unfold for Kessler, THT and Agbaji. This upcoming season offers other...

Just interesting who do we still like as a fanbase. Up to three choices. I personally partial to Dante, Royce and Joe.

I think that at this stage it is clear which teams this season have been contenders. We have 4 teams playing in the conference finals, plus we have one team that seemed to should have been playing there but was decimated by multiple repeat injuries, the Knicks (OKC, Denver and Cleveland mostly...

I know that there are already a lot of topics about what the Jazz should do but I think that a mega poll about the possible strategies can help to add something to them. Please select an answer for each pair. That means that you can cast up to 7 votes, one for each of seven pairs. I understand...

The Jazz have many draft picks. I was curious what are the chances that they can reasonably expect to draft with them an additional All Star player to complement Lauri (or any other star obtained via trades). I used the data from 30 years of drafting from this article: it is not unique and I saw...

Should we go all-in and trade some of our draft picks for the immediate success? I think that these players pair well with Lauri and our young stars. Discuss

The Jazz were incredibly bad at defense this season. The worst team in the league. And now I am watching the playoffs and I see beautiful, hard defense being played and winning the games. How can the Jazz get to that level? And, more specifically, what should the team do next season to improve...

I went through the rosters of all NBA teams. For almost every team their best scorer averages at least 5 assists. They collapse or draw out the defenses and pass to the wide open teammate. Their ability to make quick, precise passes greatly multiplies their impact. And then there is Utah Jazz...

Much of the discussion on who the Jazz should select with their 3rd pick centered on drafting a big (Kanter) vs. a PG (Knight), with both being consensus top-5 picks. Much was said about their upside, fit, strengths and weaknesses. The truth is that we have no clue how good they will be in this...
