ALERT: Ace Bailey's Arrival SILENCES Skeptics | ESPN's CONTROVERSIAL Coverage Under Fire?

Locked On Jazz - Daily Podcast On The Utah Jazz

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, addresses the recent controversy surrounding Utah Jazz draft picks Ace Bailey. He criticizes ESPN's coverage as overblown and unfounded, asserting that the rookies arrived on schedule without issues. Locke highlights the Jazz's approach to drafting players without tipping their hand and emphasizes the importance of winning to change perceptions about Utah as an NBA destination.

The podcast also covers the trade of Collin Sexton to the Charlotte Hornets, revealing the league's surprisingly low valuation of the young guard. Locke discusses the implications for the Jazz roster, including potential roles for Jordan Clarkson and John Collins. With free agency underway, he speculates on possible signings and roster moves, noting the team's limited cap space and the need to balance veteran presence with developing young talent like Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier.
