TRANSFORMED: Inside Utah Jazz’s BOLD 2026-27 PLAN—Who fits on the NEXT edition of the Utah Jazz
Utah Jazz fans get a first glimpse into the 2026-27 roster shakeup as the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade signals a bold new era. Can Keonte George, Lauri Markkanen, and Jackson Jr. power the team into the West’s upper echelon, or will rising talents like Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier, Bryce Sensabaugh, and Cody Williams find a path into the primary rotation?
David Locke scrutinizes critical roster battles, the looming contract puzzle with Walker Kessler, and the pressures facing Austin Ainge to secure veteran depth and reliable ball-handlers. The conversation spotlights the fierce competition for backup minutes, the urgency to address shooting slumps, and which young Jazz prospects might break out—or fall behind—as the franchise eyes playoff relevance. Will Filipowski, Sensabaugh, or Collier step up and claim their roles, or will the Jazz’s quest for contention force a retool? The final 24 games may decide everything.

I know Brice wants to show what he can do, but he needs to stop shooting so much. We know he can shoot and the ball can't keep stopping on him. 1 assist while getting almost twice the shots as Bailey is not good for the teams development moving forward. If Brice is going to get that many touches he needs to be working on helping other people get good shots too
