I'm thinking Burke's and Hayward's improved play nets us another 1.5 wins each. Kanter and Favors improved play gets another 1 each. Burks will play about the same. Our bench feels deeper with Exum (presumably), Hood, Booker, Gobert, Novak and that should get us another two wins. I'd take a win away though with a new system, growing pains, the Exum/Burke pg issue that could arise. That's six more wins and is how I got to 31.

Did you take into account other teams getting better or worse? Unlike you, the Jazz don't play with themselves.
 
They lost so many games late last year from disinterest. I think just implementing a mid-tier defense will get us 8 more wins and I believe Dante's and Rod's offense will add 5 more. That makes my pick 38 wins.

Oh, crap ... I agree with UGLI.
