Predict Jazz win total next season

the Jazz got to work with who they have on their roster ,F#$ken easy to toss dirt and mud on the Jazz players still on the roster but if 3pt shooting is ALL YOU BASE WINS ON then easy to sh#t on the young players shooting skillz.But with Rubio,the Jazz offense is due to change to a more opportunistic offense based on a more active defense.
Change isn't easy ...but change is here.

I think DL needs to make a move for a proven scorer. Who? I got no idea, I didn't think no heart would leave

No, 3p % is not all you base your evaluation on. But when EVERY SINGLE one of those is not a great shooter and 4 of them are non shooters or horrible shooters, you have to take it into account. I'm not ****ting on the players, I'm ****ting on the fit of this specific combination of players.
 
Hmmm... my fantasy lineup result for this season

Rubio (streaky shooter/great passer/can' drive to the hole/defender)
Mitchell (shooter/can create of the bounce/good passer/drive to the hole/defender)
Ingles (great shooter/has gotten better on the bounce/passer/defender/can't do iso or drive) or Hood becomes stronger or my fantasy is that Bolomboy can get more skills.
Bolomboy (good shooter/athlete/rebounder/unknown if he can develop other skills - if he can develop wing skills then maybe there is more there) - Joe Johnson (star finisher as a stretch 4)
Gobert or Favors

What i take into account is that

Rubio is 26 yrs old
Exum is 21 yrs old
Hood is 24 yrs old
Favors is 25 yrs old
Gobert is 25 yrs old

and their young veterans with their best days ahead and NONE of them should be painted as not getting better by anybody in this forum because it isn't true.
You don't like them ...Fine but don't paint a picture of them as if they can't get better than when they played at 23 yrs old or 24 yrs old or 20 yrs old that's stupid !!The best yrs are just getting ready to start and Jazz are fortunate to have them.
 
I think some are overcompensating for the pain they feel, stating, almost insisting we'll be just as good, as if convincing themselves of such will make the pain go away.

It won't. This sucks. We've lost our top two scorers and about 31 points a game from last year. We are really going to struggle to score 90 a game many a night. I'll wait to see how DL rounds out the roster and realize we should be healthier, but this could be a very tough season to swallow, especially with nearly every team in the west getting better.

I would love to see the staff pour themselves into Favors and him show a three point shot this season. I've been dying for that for two seasons now. If w somehow saw that, he was healthy, and we re-signed him on a solid deal, it would almost make up for Benedict's departure.
 
Around 35-36 wins in that west bloodbath. Maybe even less.
Got to be realistic
We're not even better than the Nuggets right now who are projected as a "potential 8 seed"
You're not winning games with Rodney Hood being your best scorer by a fair margin

Last but not least, i'll always feel proud to be a Jazz fan. We did everything right to retain Hayward and he betrayed us in dramatic fashion.
 
The last team that beat Golden State in Oakland was ... Utah Jazz sans Hayward, Favors and a restricted Hill ; 6 players with double digits. No need of a big scorer, Snyder has to follow the example of the Spurs in 2014.
 
What really sucks is that spacing is going to be terrible and teams will collapse on Rudy, so his offensive output will plummet. You won't have a repeat of All NBA for this reason.

35-40 wins.
