Jazz Shorts

KSL.com's Ryan Miller punks Sean Walker by telling him that Mike Conley followed him on Instagram. Just kidding; but Mike Conley really did follow Miye Oni on the 'gram, and you should, too. 

Now that the NBA draft is over, let's turn our attention to the NBA Summer League. Should you go? Why should you go? Who is there to watch? And also, is Donovan Mitchell the most marketable Utah Jazz player in NBA history? Ryan thinks so; Sean think it's Jeff Hornacek. Or did he? Download now and find it. 

KSL.com's Ryan Miller and Sean Walker break down the Utah Jazz 2019 draft — and much to his better ambition, Ryan has some optimism with the likes of Jarrell Brantley, Justin Wright-Foreman and Miye Oni, whom the Jazz selected in the late second round. 

If you aren't excited for another crop of NBA draft picks, listen to this episode. And if you are — well, still listen to it, because we need the download. Sean then tells you why you should still be excited for a Ja Morant-less Salt Lake City Summer League (hint: Vroom goes the Ferrari ... comma Frankie), and Ryan reveals the worst thing about NBA draft season and the close of a business year in the league.

With four days left until the 2019 NBA draft, is the Jazz draft picture coming into focus? Maybe so, argue Ryan and Sean, as news began to trickle out that Utah is interesting (again) in Memphis point guard Mike Conley. 

But how will the deal get done? What are the benefits of bringing a player like Conley to Salt Lake City? And how can the Jazz even afford him? 

Plus, what about that "draft" thing? Will Utah even make a pick? Is Bol Bol worth the No. 23 selection? Find out, download, like and subscribe to Jazz Shorts on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify or anywhere else you listen to podcasts. 

Ryan and Sean are back to discuss Donovan Mitchell's callup to the U.S. national team for this summer's training camp. Will he be selected for the full squad for FIBA play? And if he does make it, should he accept it? These are all questions we need to know. 

Carter Williams stops by to discuss his birthday tribute to the Utah Jazz, who turned 40 years old this past weekend. What do we learn from looking back at the Jazz's move from New Orleans? And what does the future hold in Utah (hint: a lot, thanks to Gail Miller and the legacy trust)? 

Finally, is D'Angelo Russell going to join his good friend Donovan in Salt Lake City? Sean hopes so ... but not for the reasons you are probably thinking.  And did Sean just agree to buy a parakeet? Download now to find out how Ryan pulled off that accomplishment.

Ryan Miller is piping hot with Jazz takes. First, one why Ricky Rubio is telling a Catalan radio station that the Jazz "haven't made him a priority" ... or something like that? Then, he's hot with Utah's mini-camp roster, which produced such free-agent gems as Royce O'Neale and Willie Reed. 

Then, Ryan decided he was going to get ... mad? .... because Donovan Mitchell is friends with EVERYONE who the Jazz invite to Utah for a pre-draft workout. OK, so maybe he's not mad at that last part. But he's steaming hot. Oh, maybe that's just because the air conditioning at the KSL.com offices has been turned off. 

Either way, download the podcast to listen to Ryan's #HotTakes with producer Sean Walker — including in all-new fantasy draft!

Ryan pulled Sean out of slumber in his car last night (maybe) to talk about the NBA draft early entrant deadline, the return of Brian Bowen to Salt Lake City, and Tennessee's Admiral Schofield — a player that might actually be available with the No. 23 overall pick. The guys then discuss the four college standouts who pulled their names out of the draft: Utah State's Neemias Queta, BYU's Yoeli Childs, Utah's Donnie Tillman and Weber State's Jerrick Harding. Did all of them make the right decision to halt their pro concerns?

KSL.com's Ryan Miller and Sean Walker are back in the studio during NBA Draft Combine wrap-up week. Should Utah State's Neemias Queta stay in the draft (he has until May 29 to decide, remember)? Is he a Jazz target (hint: probably not, if you believe VP of player personnel Walt Perrin)? So who will the Utah Jazz draft at No. 23 overall?

Ryan and Sean are back to talk about leadership changes at the Utah Jazz. Were there changes? Justin Zanik is the new general manager, but he's still reporting to former general manager Dennis Lindsey. Confused yet? So were we, so Zanik explained what the changes mean to the organization. 

After that, the guys go through the list of usual Offseason News Fodder aka #content — and draft their favorite storylines from the NBA and Jazz offseason storylines. Derrick Favors? Ricky Rubio? What about the Jazz pre-draft workouts?

Ryan and Sean are back for another not-so-short Jazz Short. 

The Utah Jazz are  officially in the NBA offseason, and big changes are coming to the squad? Or are they? A lot of players are going to be out of contract this summer ... but will all of them come back? Kyle Korver? Georges Niang? Ricky Rubio? And the big fish, Derrick Favors? Is "he gone," or is "he good"? The guys have takes. 

What's next for the Jazz? And what's next for Donovan Mitchell? 

Plus, what are you favorite things to do alone that most people do in a group? Let us know on our Facebook page, KSL.com Sports. We'll draft our favorites in the next episode.

KSL.com Utah Jazz beat writer Ryan Miller calls in discuss Utah's 100-93 loss to Houston for a 4-1 series loss, ending a season of promise in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.  

Was the season a success or a failure? Is Quin Snyder a mad scientist of a coach, or just mad? Is Donovan Mitchell more Damian Lillard or Tyreke Evans? And what can we expect from the future of the Jazz -- especially in 2019-20, but also beyond? 

Finally, Mitchell once again went into "Good Guy" mode and stopped to help a car accident victim last Sunday. We said that we'd FOIA for the 911 call -- and here it is!
