David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, focuses on Keonte George's crucial development period in the NBA. With 30+ games into the season, Locke emphasizes the importance of the next 20-25 games for George to showcase his growth and potential as a viable NBA starter. The podcast explores George's shooting improvements, his calmer on-court demeanor, and the significance of playing alongside veteran talent.

The episode also delves into the Utah Jazz's defensive struggles, particularly in their recent game where they allowed an unusually high percentage of opponent shots at the rim. Locke questions whether this defensive lapse is a cause for concern, considering the team's focus on player development. He highlights the impact of lineup changes, especially when Walker Kessler is off the court, and discusses the challenges of balancing development with defensive efficiency. The podcast concludes with a brief look at recent G League performances and late-game situations across the NBA.
