The Utah Jazz were supposed to be...better than 1-7, right?
I think we've all forgotten how competitive the Jazz tended to be to open the past few seasons. Sure, they'd often rev up the tank as the season went on - with last year being especially egregious (and rewarded) - but it was clear they had a lot of talent in need of that franchise guy to provide their supporting pieces a solid fondation.
They got that with the second overall pick. And this was after they added in Jaren Jackson Jr. The Jazz being penned as a playoff team may have been premature but surely they'd be in the race for the play-in rather than a contending to be a relegation roommate with the recent influx in talent even if there were questions about their centre position, right? #sport
