The Utah Jazz’s biggest 2025 NBA free agency mistake was not adding impactful veterans to support their promising rookies.

For the Utah Jazz, they've already gotten their feet wet within the summer league action, thanks to their three preliminary games in the Salt Lake City Summer League, but they'll have a whole new slate ahead of them in Vegas–– starting off with the Charlotte Hornets and fourth-overall pick Kon Knueppel on Friday.

Walter Clayton Jr. starred in Utah's third win at the Salt Lake Summer League. The national champion at Florida led the Jazz with 20 points to take down Nikola Topic and the Thunder. Kyle Filipowski produced an 18-point, 16-rebound double-double to complement Clayton's scoring outburst. Ajay Mitchell led the Thunder with 19 points.
