LIVE FROM THE DELTA CENTER: It’s The NBA Draft 2023 With DJ!
Thursday was the 2023 NBA Draft! The Utah Jazz were looking to HOPEFULLY make some noise and get some good young talent. The Utah Jazz had 3 first round picks this year: Pick #9, Pick #16, and Pick #28.
The Jazz opened up the Delta Center for all the fans. They also offered free hotdogs and pop for the first 10,000 fans! That was awesome. I had two hot dogs, a coke, and popcorn before taking a seat. Inside the arena was a huge halfpipe with people training for a big competition happening over the weekend.
The #1 pick belonged to the San Antonio Spurs. They totally lucked out this year because the guy projected to go #1 in the draft is the BIGGEST prospect since LeBron James! Yeah... He's going to be good. His name is Victor Wembanyama. He's a 7'2" 19 year old kid from France. EVERYBODY in the world is trying to draft this kid. The San Antonio Spurs actually got him!
The Jazz finally got to pick, and the arena was BUZZING!
With the 9th pick in the NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz selected Taylor Hendricks from the University of Central Florida. He's 19 years old, 6'9" 214 pounds, and maybe the most athletic player in the entire draft!
The crowd was pleased with the selection.
With the 16th pick, the Jazz drafted Keyonte George from Baylor University. Keyonte is a 6'4", 185 lbs. Guard, and he's only 19 years old.
Then finally with the 28th pick, the Jazz took Brice Sensabaugh from Ohio State University. Brice is 6'6", 235 lbs. Guard, and 19 years old as well.
It was a fun night, and the arena was PACKED with exciting Jazz Fans.
Utah Jazz Owner Makes BIG Announcement: Fans Are THRILLED!
It was announced Tuesday Morning from Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah Jazz, that the Jazz have found a NEW (old) HOME for their games on TV.
The Utah Jazz will be going back to KJZZ14 on TV which will be on basic cable as well as FREE with an antenna. It doesn't stop there... The Utah Jazz with Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) will also have a streaming service where you can catch the games anywhere with WIFI.
On this new streaming service, you'll get Jazz games, behind the scenes action, as well as stories about players, coaches, and Utah Jazz staff.

This will save Jazz fans HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of dollars per season!
All of this will drop in the fall, just in time for the 2023-2024 Utah Jazz season!
Jazz games are coming back to KJZZ14, and it will be FREE with an antenna! This is awesome.
