Episode description

Walker Kessler's offensive rebounding prowess is transforming the Utah Jazz's gameplay. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, breaks down how Kessler's newfound strength and technique have led to a surge in offensive boards, significantly impacting the team's overall performance. The Jazz have climbed from 26th to 12th in offensive rankings, with improved shooting percentages and rebounding stats correlating with Kessler's dominance on the glass.

Locke also examines the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game, drawing parallels to Utah's potential for success in a small market. He highlights the high-quality basketball displayed, with 75 assists on 95 baskets, challenging critics of the modern NBA. The podcast touches on the development of young talents like Keyonte George and Taylor Hendricks, while considering the future roles of prospects such as Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh in the Jazz's evolving roster.
