As time ticked toward the end of the Utah Jazz’s disappointing 2023-24 season, you could tell: Jordan Clarkson had given a lot of thought to the possibility that he’s already played his last game in a Jazz uniform. “Tomorrow’s tomorrow, I don’t really try to look too far forward,” he said in the final days of the campaign. “But I love this organization, I love this state, city. I love playing for this team, [head coach Will Hardy] and everybody. If it’s the last, that just is what it is.” -via Salt Lake Tribune / May 4, 2024

Promising European youngsters will gather in Malaga from May 31 to June 3. The joint effort between the NBA and FIBA combines with FEB, the Spanish Basketball Federation, to bring the 21st Basketball Without Borders Camp to the Andalusian city. Collin Sexton of the Utah Jazz and Devonte Graham of the San Antonio Spurs will be in charge of the 60 prospects in Malaga, Spain. -via EuroHoops.net / May 22, 2024

We finally got confirmation on how big James is exactly. He measured at 6-foot-1 1/2 without shoes, with a 6-7 1/4 wingspan and an 8-2 1/2 standing reach. It’s important to remember that colleges list players’ heights in shoes. While the Trojans added an extra inch to Bronny’s height, they didn’t drastically oversell it. On top of that, NBA teams were working under the assumption that James was in the ballpark of 6-2 anyway. James’ standing reach puts him much more in the ballpark of point guard as opposed to that of a combo or shooting guard. Past players to post an 8-2 1/2 standing reach at the combine include Bruce Brown, Collin Sexton, Terry Rozier and Avery Bradley. James is a bit stronger and stouter than most of those players. -via New York Times / May 14, 2024
