BOTH HISTORIC – Could AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Petterson BOTH average 30 a game



BOTH HISTORIC – Could AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Petterson BOTH average 30 a game

Utah Jazz fans face burning questions: should the team trade Lauri Markkanen for Paolo Banchero, and who will take the reins as primary ball handler next season? David Locke takes stock of the franchise’s direction, putting the spotlight on rising star Keyonte George’s summer work ethic and the futures of young rotation players. Will the Jazz consolidate their roster or run it back with up-and-coming talent?

Major discussion points include possible trade scenarios impacting the franchise’s trajectory, draft strategies if the lottery doesn’t break their way, and the value of adding a defensive enforcer like Marcus Smart in free agency. David Locke breaks down Markkanen’s fit alongside Utah’s core, debates best player available versus positional need in the draft, and analyzes Austin Ainge and Will Hardy’s approach to constructing a playoff-ready roster. Can the Utah Jazz balance development and winning in a rapidly changing Western Conference?

    I think AJ with NBA spacing would be a monster, DP could also be very very good. Honestly any of the top 4 guys would be a huge add for this jazz team.

    All I can think of with Marcus smart is 2019 fiba tournament vs France, as Donovan goes off, changing the tide of the game in USA’s favor and Smart contributing, doing good stuff which gets him to the line, looking like the game is being taken over, and Smart missing a slough of free throws, like 4 in a roll at the most critical juncture of the game, the momentum being completely lost, Kemba being brought back in the game and being ineffective, France winning the game.

    Maybe the loss isn’t all on Smart, but it sure paints the picture of how important shooting is.

    You keep the guys that want to be here period. The anti utah propaganda throughout they're league is honestly tds level.

    I want to hear analysis on 5-8… top 4 has a lot of coverage… fun to fantasize, but I'm jaded from last year (or maybe last year I was too optimistic)… but I'm not banking on winning the lottery anymore (I'll cry if it happens though)… but being realistic, we're gonna likely draft 6 or 7… lets hear a 5-8 and get some excitement there 🙂

  7. @Pale25nussiaitiis

    No one but dp lets us keep out roster construction while adding someone elite. I think hes the obvious choice as we dont own our pick next year and need to be contenders right away
