Utah Jazz: You could make the argument that no front court holds more promise (Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward, and Rudy Gobert), giving the Jazz the potential to dominate the basket area against any team in the loaded Western Conference on a given night. I know it is a different conference and a few years later, but this general type of roster worked well for the Pacers in 2013 and could result in a big step forward for guards in the progression of Dante Exum and Trey Burke. Remember the saying that defense wins championships? Well, I’m not saying the Jazz win a title this season, but they very quietly gave up the fewest points per game in 2014-2015 and should see their prospects offensive contributions improve as a result of experience.
