Granger knows if you're a procurement manager at an industrial manufacturing facility, you're balancing inventory and budget while sourcing critical supplies across the operation. Too much inventory? Costs climb. Too little? Production slows. Granger's $2 billion in on-hand inventory helps you get what you need when you need it, so you can help keep budgets balanced and lines moving.

[upbeat music] Welcome into the Jazz Notes podcast. I'm Ben Anderson.

I'm Chandler Holtz.

We are recording this on October 5th. Man, I swear it was, like, two weeks until the lottery. [laughs]

[laughs]

It's like, it goes so fast.

So fast.

Even though the summer was probably long for some Jazz fans, but, uh, we were like, "I wonder what's gonna happen." It's a pretty good draft.

[laughs]

Now, the number two overall pick is on the Utah Jazz, and has already played a game, and has gone through all of summer league. So, uh, big show for you today. Obviously, we'll recap the Jazz's win last night over the Denver Nuggets in their preseason opener. We'll answer your mailbag questions, and, uh, you probably saw us tease it over the weekend, our main man, the number one hype man in Utah, Hudson, the viral sensation, uh, did join us in studio. So we will, uh, let you hear our... It's a kind of a brief conversation-

Yeah

... but there's gonna be some more social content coming out with, uh, with Hudson, coming up at the end of the show.

Yes.

So, uh, appreciate everyone who's tuning in to see that or hear that, and appreciate Hudson, uh, and his mom, Madison, and his dad, Cole, coming down.

Very, very nice family.

And the new baby.

Yes.

I didn't get the baby's name.

[laughs]

But, uh, the whole family coming down and hanging out, and, uh, I suspect Hudson will be at the, uh, practice tonight.

Yes.

We'll see. [laughs] But I suspect he will be there, as will you.

Yes.

So you'll have, uh, continued coverage at kslsports.com, and then of course find us on Instagram, social media, @kslsports, and again, really our YouTube page is a major focus this year.

Yeah.

So there's, there's a lot there. Find us on social media, @benshoops, @choltsports. All right, let's get into the game last night. What was your, what was your early takeaway?

Um, so a 109 to 97 win for the Jazz.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson, their night ended at halftime. Uh, we saw some more rotation players, notably Keyontae George, Darren Peterson, Ace Bailey, in the third quarter, and then by the fourth quarter it was Tamar Bates, Blake Hinson, Harrison Ingram, et cetera. Um, probably the biggest thing was kind of a slow debut for Darren Peterson.

Mm-hmm.

Three points, one for five shooting.

Yeah.

Did have... He led the team, I believe. Yeah, or no, Mobama had seven, but he, m- Darren Peterson had six rebounds.

He had six rebounds. He was
