A thing I just realized that also has probably already been noted: Walker Kessler was drafted 22nd overall by the Memphis Grizzlies and then traded to the Wolves. The Grizzlies took him with the Mike Conley pick from the Jazz lol
Little thing you can't see too well, but good stuff. Two-way guys Georges Niang and Erik McCree were sitting on the floor. Niang went to check in, leaving McCree alone. When Joe Ingles checked out, he originally sat on the bench but saw McCree and went to sit by him
I don't know if this is out there, but longtime Jazz fans may know the name and face of Dr. Richard Anderson, who had courtside seats for a long, long time. He recently passed away
Those who participated in the service project helped assemble more than 6,700 family food boxes as well as 2,800 hygiene kits. The food boxes and hygiene kits will be donated to local charities to bless the lives of individuals in need.
Joe and Renae Ingles took out a full-page ad in both SLC newspapers today thanking the Gail Miller family. Here's the ad and the text of the letter written
Dennis Lindsey said at exit interviews he wanted to add a "sniper." Bojan Bogdanovic finished 10th in the NBA last season in 3-point percentage. Imagine him getting all the looks Crowder got
Rodney Hood and Alec Burks combine for 35 points to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the LeBron James-less Los Angeles Lakers, thereby getting the Utah Jazz into a tie with the Lakers for eighth in the Western Conference.
Wait, what?
So many people have shared this sentiment, but Jazz fans really are lucky to have people who are passionate about their jobs covering the team. Kudos to

Why do schools continue to not acknowledge that other Jazz players are with Donovan Mitchell at these games? Royce O'Neale is partially cropped out of this photo!
The Jazz are definitely making Collin Sexton the face of the franchise this season. Smart. He's a lot of fun. Hopefully he doesn't get sick of it. He's already done quite a bit
We are 25 picks into the NBA draft and no player has been shorter than 6'4
19 of the 25 picks have been 6'6 or taller
If you think the league is going small you have missed the memo. The league is going skilled but there is no such thing as small ball.
I shared my story a few weeks ago on FB but had some reservations about sharing it here. Thanks to Jeff for the inspo. It's important for a lot of reasons that we share our stories
President Uchtdorf on a combined choir from BYU and Utah at a worldwide broadcast: "I must say this choir is something special, isn't it? It is beautiful and it is an example again that the Brigham Young University and University of Utah can be in harmony."
From Rodney Hood's wife's Insta story. I'm gonna miss their little boy. He was a regular in the locker room after games, pretty much the only child of a Jazzman to often be there. Cute kid
I don't typically share super personal stuff, but I've been away for a little over a week, and as I get back, it would be strange to do so without acknowledging that my brother passed away last Wednesday. Love you, Nate
Long post alert for the memories: For a little over five years, I've worked at the Deseret News with the hope that I could make it my full-time career. It's a rough business, and there were so many times I thought about moving to something else. I'm fort…
Kinda hard to get a good screenshot from his Insta story, but Frank Jackson, the former Lone Peak star now with the New Orleans Pelicans, hosted like 14 LDS missionaries for dinner tonight, which is fun
Speaking of Jayden Daniels, here are a couple of fun photos he posted on his Insta story from his OV. First is with high school teammate Daniel Fortune
Rodney Hood's wife announced on Insta that they are expecting twins. What are the odds that three players on the same basketball team (Derrick Favors and Joe Ingles also) would have twins?
Great moment between Ricky Rubio and Quin Snyder. It's been pretty obvious how much Rubio wanted to make his first career trip to the playoffs. Good stuff
"May God give you for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sees, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer."

Today marks two years since my brother Nate died by suicide. The grief surrounding the circumstances of his death is still so huge at times, plus we just wish he was still here with us. Please, if you are having suicidal thoughts or ideations, call or text 988 or reach out to
