The Jazz will face off against the Nuggets Sunday evening at 5:00 PM MT. It’s been a long offseason, but unlike the past few seasons, there’s been a different feel this summer. The excitement has been building higher and higher, exceeding any level the Jazz fanbase has had at any point in a long time. It all started back in May when the jumped up to number two overall in one of the most stacked draft classes in recent history. The excitement continued to build when the Jazz selected Darryn Peterson,
regarded as the most talented draft pick in franchise history. Then summer league came and the excitement only went higher, followed by training camp ramping up and the Jazz providing so much content that the hype is sky high.
When you combine a player like Peterson with the rest of the assets and players the Jazz have accumulated over the past few years, you have a team that can make some serious noise in the west. but if you’re reading this, you already know that. This will be an awesome season for the Jazz and the first chapter begins now.
It’s unclear at this point who will be playing for the Jazz and the Nuggets considering it’s just a preseason game, but I’d expect lighter minutes from the veterans and established stars, while also hoping for guys like Peterson and Ace Bailey to get some real playing time and showcase what they’re capable of doing.
Will Hardy and the Jazz hope to start the preseason strong tomorrow with a win over a perennial playoff opponent in the Nuggets. The game is in Denver and will start at 5:00 PM MT, and air locally and on NBA TV.
