Summary

Walker Kessler's frustration over his contract situation becomes the headline as David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, recaps a dramatic and revealing Utah Jazz Media Day.

Will Hardy issues a public challenge: can Kessler evolve beyond shot-blocking and anchor an elite NBA defense, especially in the wake of last year's underwhelming team results?
