Locked On Jazz - Daily Podcast On The Utah Jazz

Latest Episodes:

Still Bullish on Keyonte George. The Numbers say maybe not but yes be bullish Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, remains bullish on Keyonte George despite concerning shooting statistics. George's sub-40% field goal percentage and sub-35% three-point shooting in his first two NBA seasons place him in a category where only 18% of players historically become viable NBA contributors. However, Locke sees potential in George's ability to create off-the-bounce threes and his raw talent, believing maturity will improve shot selection and defensive focus.

Locke analyzes George's effective field goal percentage, comparing him to successful guards like Donovan Mitchell, Ja Morant, and Anthony Simons. He argues that George's skill set, combined with expected maturation at age 21, could lead to significant improvement. The podcast also covers the NBA player poll results, notes from recent playoff games, and conducts a mock draft lottery where the Jazz slide to the fifth pick, presenting potential trade scenarios involving Trae Young or Zion Williamson.

Utah's REBUILD Roadmap | PLAYOFFS says TANK AND TRADE can Rival MARKET POWER Teams? Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, analyzes the 16 playoff teams to demonstrate that the Utah Jazz are on the right track. He identifies four routes to building a successful franchise: tank and trade, market power, lucky draft, and staying competitive. Seven of the 16 playoff teams used the tank and trade strategy, aligning with Utah's current approach.

Locke breaks down each playoff team's path to success, highlighting Oklahoma City's player development, Denver's historic Nikola Jokić pick, and Boston's shrewd trades. He emphasizes that tanking alone isn't enough, pointing to Orlando and Memphis as examples of teams that haven't fully capitalized on their draft positions. The episode also features a daily tankathon simulation, with Utah landing the third pick in this scenario, and a detailed late-game analysis of the Clippers-Nuggets matchup, showcasing the strategic adjustments made by both teams.
