What's acceptable win total for next season?

[HighlandHomie]

Assume Hayward comes back and we add a couple rookies, maybe one solid FA, etc... What win total would you be content with? 48 for me. No reason we can't win 50. Need a new coach first.

Let's say we win 24 games this year. I'd say anything over 35 would be great and showing improvement by the young guys.

 

[DutchJazzer]

we could realistically win 44+ games\


phx already has 44 games.
this roster is better then phx.
so with the right coach close to 50 is possible

Don't remind me of Hornacek.

 

[DutchJazzer]

we sadly will not get the right coach.

the right coach could give this team a 50 win season

 

[fishonjazz]

I say 40 +

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

In the West? I have no idea. I would hope we would be challenging for a playoff seed though.

We would win 45+ in the East easily doe.

premature questionization. This team will look very different next year. I, for one, would like a vague sketch of what it will look like before I start predicting how it will behave.

this roster is better then phx.

How come? Please provide some serious analysis of both rosters. I will start - Bench ( Jazz worst in NBA)

 

[MVP]

I think if we win 25 games this season than 35 is reasonable expectation next year. 40 would be huge surprise.

only player i prefer from phx roster would be bledsoe.

any gm would prefer jazz players.


sadly individual players dont make a team.

COHESION!

I mean, I hope you realize that our bench is 15th in the league... https://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/teamstats/14/7/diffeff

 

[LogGrad98]

Either 0 or 82 are correct answers. Anything in between is failure.

That is some surprising stats. I wonder if it is because Kanter and Burks were forced to be on the bench. But lets look at our preferred young core starters - Burke, Hayward, Burks, Kanter and Favors. What do we have left? Garbage.

Right. Homerism at it's best. Dragic is better than any all 3 pg Jazz have combined FYI.

True Dragic would be best player on our roster, but Jazz have the personnel to win at least 45 next season. Just need a coach to make the pieces fit.

 

[Stifle Tower]

48 for me. No reason we can't win 50.

Exactly. The Jazz were either going to have a strong starting unit and the worst bench in the league, or a weaker starting group and passable bench.

Portland was in a similar situation last year and won 33 games. However, they have two all-stars in Aldridge and Lillard and a solid veteran in Matthews. We don't have nearly that same talent. But improve the depth and I could see Utah making a 15-20 game leap in wins. That won't put Utah in the playoffs, but it gets them around .500.
