SALT LAKE CITY — Sunday was a monumental day for both Utah Jazz fans and the entire franchise.
A jump up for the second overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery marked the end of a rebuild, the beginning of a new era, and a dash of lottery luck that had yet to be seen in Utah.
Naturally, so many moving parts resulted in a big reaction from Jazz fans on social media.

My brother and his wife are probably the biggest Jazz fans I know. This was his family’s reaction to the lottery results. Was your reaction similar? #TakeNote @kslsports pic.twitter.com/c59h7yy2fg

Well, the draft lottery is officially not rigged. The best draft potentially since 2003 and the Wizards/Jazz/Grizzlies are picking top-3. 😂😂😂

Feeling so good!!!!!! Was going to be gutted if it was anything less than 4-5. Now we hope that Washington takes DP and we somehow can grab AJ at #2 🙏🏼 let’s go!!!!!!

If Jazz REALLY want AJ I think they could move up from 2.

I’m thrilled. But the Jazz now have a big decision to make.
I can’t believe this is real.
The Jazz are going to be good for a while.
We made it. pic.twitter.com/hkA0kWs5NX
