the jazz will not win 30 games

anyone who thinks otherwise is completely off their rocker. this is undoubtedly one of the 3 worst benches in the nba. combine that with a starting 5 that has talent but raw at that, and rookie point guard, and a team that has practically never played together; this team will lose A LOT. the team will gel over time and with a top-3 pick, by next year they will once again be a playoff team as we have a lot of money again next offseason to create a great bench for the starting cast.

2013-2014 jazz= worst 4-5 teams in nba
2014-2015 jazz= top 12 teams in nba

it will be amazing to see such a huge jump in a team from one year to another. but thats what a good core 5+ wiggins will get you.

I agree completely, although it may take another year to be top 12. If all goes according to that "plan", the Jazz could wind up top 4????
 
We have the worst bench that the game has ever seen on any level. My 12 year old son's Jr. Jazz team had a better bench, including the kid with the lazy eye and club foot.

So our positioning for the lottery is looking favorable.

This was fun.

Everyone seems to be expecting Kobe to come back like he was before, but this was his Achilles -- look what happened to Memo with a similar injury: it was basically career-ending. I expect Kobe will come back but won't be the same player. Remember, he's turning 35 this year. It's not going to be as easy to heal either.

So far as the Jazz winning 30 games. Well, if they do, then we probably will have to say that Corbin did a decent job. But if he's the Corbin we've come to know, I think we'll be very lucky to win 30 -- more like 24-58.

I think you're going to be right about the final record. Great work!

How can anyone predict what this team will achieve? They haven't played one game together. I think it all depends how they start off and how well they play on the road. Another key factor will be how the atrocious bench plays. If we get anything from the bench then I think the Jazz can win 30 games. I don't want them to win too much. Are you guaranteed a top 5 pick if you finish in the top 3 worse records? If you are then I want the Jazz to lose enough to be in the top 3. LOL.

We are so close!

So many interesting posts.
Remember how much optimism we all had about the Jazz' defense, replacing Al, Millsap, etc.? Had to get much better, right?
I think I had the Jazz fairly comparable to Portland's 2012/13 record (33 wins) until Burke's injury and then took it down 5 wins. Fortunately, Jazz won't even reach that level.
