  Las Vegas • Thirty minutes. That’s how long it took for Jalen Moore’s phone to ring following the NBA draft.The 6-foot-9 small forward from Utah State didn’t get selected, but that was partially by design. There was interest from multiple teams in the latter half of the second round, but they didn’t offer Moore his ultimate payoff, the chance to make an NBA roster.“There were teams that wanted to draft him and stash him overseas,” Jalen’s father, Ji

• Report: Utah Jazz summer leaguer Eric Griffin drawing interest around the NBA

  11-07-2017 21:08
  
  The Utah Jazz are shorthanded in a major way at small forward. Summer league combo forward Eric Griffin may be able to add depth to the position, if the Jazz can keep him. When the Utah Jazz lost Gordon Hayward to the Boston Celtics last week, they lost their go-to guy offensively and the face of the […]

  On ESPN’s NBA show “The Jump,” Elhassan broke down Hayward’s move to the Boston Celtics by pointing out that teams essentially have a “minimum of seven years of guaranteed time to show your star player that you are an organization that is both

  11-07-2017 19:49
  
  Players in the NBA, and more specifically with the Jazz, always have had an opportunity to work to make themselves better. Some take advantage of it, some do not. Just a couple of months ago, former Jazz center Greg Ostertag admitted he had regrets because he did not work diligently to improve over the span of his career. He settled, and then uttered some of the saddest words a player can speak: I could have been a lot better.
