Episode 2838
What defines player success for the Utah Jazz in the 2025-26 season? David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, breaks down individual goals for every Jazz player, spotlighting Lauri Markkanen's evolution from a "7-foot Klay Thompson" to a self-creating scorer. Locke weighs the necessity for Keyonte George to improve his shooting efficiency and underscores Walker Kessler's need to anchor the defense while developing as a pick-and-roll threat. The episode probes Ace Bailey's quest for meaningful minutes, Walt Clayton Jr.'s three-point shooting potential, and Bryce Sensabaugh's challenge of eliminating "loud mistakes" to maximize his offensive arsenal.
The conversation turns strategic, questioning whether Taylor Hendricks can pair increased minutes with NBA-ready intuition, and if Cody Williams' physical growth will unlock new facets of his game. Locke analyzes Kyle Filipowski's ceiling as a possible offensive fulcrum—comparing him to Kelly Olynyk—and lays out the path for Isaiah Collier to become a physically imposing defender in the league. With insight into offensive metrics across the Eastern Conference and predictions for surprising NBA teams, Locke blends stats and expert perspective with Jazz-specific goals, inviting fans to consider: What milestones will truly mark success for Utah’s rising core?
