  • The Best and Worst Draft Picks in Utah Jazz History: Where Will Ace Bailey Land?

    The Best and Worst Draft Picks in Utah Jazz History: Where Will Ace Bailey Land?
    Oct 14 2025
    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.

    Oct 9 2025
    Training camp is here, and the Utah Jazz are shaping up to be one of the league’s most fascinating teams heading into the 2025–26 season. In this week’s episode, Zach Quinn sits down with Court Vision host Jake Bender to break down everything happening in Salt Lake — from lineup experiments and media-day soundbites to trade chatter surrounding Lauri Markkanen and the team’s next phase of development. Are the Jazz ready to take a step forward, or is another roster shake-up on the horizon?

    We’ll cover the camp highlights: Keyonte George’s expanded role, Ace Bailey’s early flashes, and how Coach Will Hardy plans to balance adaptability with chemistry. Then we dive into the trade front — who stays, who goes, and what kind of player Utah should target if they make a move. Plus, Jake weighs in on what realistic success looks like for this roster and how fans should judge the first few games of preseason and beyond.

  • Builders & Believers: How Ryan & Ashley Smith Changed Utah Sports

    Builders & Believers: How Ryan & Ashley Smith Changed Utah Sports
    Oct 7 2025
    Utah’s sports landscape has been transformed in just a few short years — and Ryan and Ashley Smith are the reason why. From buying the Jazz in 2020 to welcoming the NHL’s Utah Mammoth in 2024, the Smiths have gone all-in on turning Salt Lake into a major-league city. They’ve upgraded the Delta Center, launched new facilities, and even secured land for a future entertainment district that could change downtown forever.

    In this episode, we walk through the full story: the Jazz purchase that doubled in value, the whirlwind NHL relocation that birthed the Mammoth, and the fan-first rebrand that drew nearly a million votes. We’ll also dig into SEG’s broader civic vision, the risks they’ll need to manage, and why fans across Utah are already reaping the rewards.

  • Preseason Pain, But Not Panic: Why the Mammoth Will Bounce Back

    Preseason Pain, But Not Panic: Why the Mammoth Will Bounce Back
    Sep 25 2025
    The Utah Mammoth are taking some lopsided losses in preseason, and the headlines are already starting to buzz — but is it really time to worry? In this episode of Beehive Sports Report, Zach Quinn digs into why the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story. From split-squad mismatches against NHL-heavy rosters to early injuries keeping key centers out of action, we look at what’s actually behind the Mammoth’s slow start.

    We’ll also explore the psychology of a brand-new facility. Yes, the state-of-the-art practice complex is a huge win, but the adrenaline of fresh surroundings can sometimes mask the grind needed to build chemistry and consistency. Zach breaks down how other teams are using veteran-loaded lineups, why close losses matter more than blowouts, and what early roster moves and goaltending depth signal about the season ahead.
