Ace Bailey flu game (not good) and Markkanen mania highlight Jazz vs Kings player grades
A one-point loss at the horn — not a bad way to go for a team of the Utah Jazz’s standing. A needed loss to keep the locomotive from slinging off the rails on a short-sighted winning frenzy. Two straight wins to open the season would have split Jazz fans into warring factions, each carrying […]

Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers: Preseason Player Grades
Lauri Markkanen | A- Markkanen had a very nice night overall. His +11 showed his overall positive impact in more than just scoring the ball. His 5 assists were nice and showed that he can move the ball within the office in a nice way. The only knocks are that he needs to be hitting […]

Mavericks vs. Jazz Player Grades: A surprise top grade
The Jazz are winless through three preseason games. That’s not much of a surprise. But the person with the best grade in tonight’s game sure is. (Note on Grading Scale) All performances are relative.
