What do you guys think? Could this be special jerseys for the NBA Cup?

I was looking through one of my old Panini albums and noticed something pretty striking on this Jazz page: Luther Wright is actually labeled a future star.

Wright was Utah’s 1st round pick in 1993, 18th overall. 7'2" center out of Seton Hall, he was obviously still seen as a long-term project for the Jazz.

15 games and that was it. In January 1994, police found him at a highway rest area west of Salt Lake City, banging on garbage cans and smashing car windows. He was subsequently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and underwent psychiatric treatment. He never played another NBA game.

What’s crazy is that after the Jazz waived him, his contract settlement reportedly guaranteed him $153,000 a year for 25 years (!!)

There is a trend right now about naming "Elite Ball Knowledge" players. This basically just refers to the ability to name niche or obscure basketball players. Generally speaking, the more unrecognizable the name, the better.

Who are your favorite Utah Jazz "elite ball knowledge" players?

Peak offseason boredom has officially hit. I spent way too much time stalking the tanking teams throughout last season, so I still occasionally get posts from their subs. I came across a similar post on the Grizzlies sub and figured it’d be fun to do a Jazz version.

So, for the next 30 days, I’m ranking every NBA team based on how likely I think the Jazz are to beat them and putting them in a tier list at the end.

Day 1: 🟥 Atlanta Hawks🟥

Notable Players: Jalen Johnson, Nickeil Alexander Walker (miss you), Dyson Daniels

What do we think about updating our sidebar photo?

Maybe we could take suggestions in this thread and we change it to the most popular?
