Every Jazz fan has a draft they still dream about — or one they still can’t forgive. From the nights that built legends to the ones that broke hearts, this episode dives deep into the Utah Jazz’s biggest hits, misses, and what-ifs. We’ll revisit how back-to-back drafts of John Stockton and Karl Malone in the mid-80s set the tone for two decades of dominance — and how later misfires like Luther Wright, Raul Lopez, Trey Burke, and Dante Exum sent the franchise searching for its next cornerstone.

We’ll also trace the comeback — how smart scouting brought Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell to Salt Lake, and how Danny Ainge’s modern draft strategy with Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Ace Bailey could be laying the foundation for the Jazz’s next great era. 

Follow along as we relive the rollercoaster of Utah’s draft history — from “how did we get this guy?” to “how did we miss that one?” If you like the content, connect with us on X, TikTok, and Instagram, and don’t forget — ratings and reviews are the best way to help the show grow.
