By landing with the Utah Jazz, Ace Bailey will be given plenty of time to find his footing in the NBA. However, there's something else that the Jazz can provide that can help him reach his potential.

The Utah Jazz want to keep Lauri Markkanen around for a long, long time.

There seems to be a lot of excitement about Utah Jazz draft pick Walter Clayton Jr., which primarily stems from his March Madness heroics. However, Sam Vecenie pointed something about Clayton's skillset that may make him better than most think.

The Utah Jazz had the chance to trade Lauri Markkanen last summer when his value was at its highest. Instead, they extended him at a pretty high price. That decision does not look good in hindsight, and it might age even more poorly.

It's not set in stone who will be in the Utah Jazz's starting lineup next season. They traded two starters from last season and have several candidates to fill the spots. One recently projected lineup surprisingly did not feature one standout Jazzman.

The Utah Jazz have yet to officially welcome Kevin Love after acquiring John Collins. While that in and of itself speaks volumes, Jake Fischer basically confirmed what everyone has been thinking.

The Kyle Filipowski hype train has only gotten bigger and faster since the offseason began. While it appears a breakout is inevitable next season, what he did before he even came to the NBA was the telltale sign that he was special.

Shaquille O'Neal has some well-documented hatred for Utah Jazz legend Rudy Gobert. So much so that he's betting on that Gobert will never achieve this basketball milestone. If that's the case, he's in for a shock.

The Utah Jazz decided to part ways with Jaden Springer on Thursday. While it's not like Springer was a young talent the Jazz couldn't afford to release, this decision raises a question about another offseason decision.

The Utah Jazz looks like they have hit the jackpot on Ace Bailey. As their most exciting prospect since perhaps Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz should feel blessed about having him. Especially because it likely won't happen again.

The Utah Jazz are not at the point where they want to trade Lauri Markkanen. However, if that situation sours, they could trade him back East to a contender who has taken a massive step back this offseason.

It's gone under the radar, but the Utah Jazz currently have 16 players on their roster. In two days, they actually have a decision to make with one player that could have implications about how they feel about their current roster.

Ace Bailey may end up as a star in the NBA, but Utah Jazz fans must make sure to temper their expectations concerning his performance.
Will Eudy|
Walker Kessler is extension-eligible this offseason, but the Utah Jazz haven't worked one out with him. Some may get the wrong impression from this, but a Jazz executive confirmed what many believe will be the likely outcome.
Matt John|
There was a narrative that Ace Bailey didn't want to be on the Utah Jazz initially. While that was disproven almost immediately, a Jazz executive took it one step further.

The NBA announced that Kyle Filipowski is the 2k26 Summer League MVP. While that's not surprising in the least, Filipowski getting such an honor also says a lot about the Jazz's future as a whole.

The Utah Jazz traded Derrick Favors four years ago because it was clear he was done. It was a shame because he was a beloved fan favorite, and now it's become a potential disaster that the Jazz want to avoid (still).
Matt John|
After criticizing Ace Bailey for his pre-draft antics, not only has Paul George changed his tune, but he also singled out the Utah Jazz for being the right situation for the prized lottery pick.
Matt John|
The Los Angeles Clippers made the right move bringing Chris Paul. However, he, along with the other additions they've had this summer, risk turning themselves into a similar version of the Utah Jazz that fans know all too well.

There are still a few quality free agents available for teams to pick up.
