This is shaping up to be a crucial offseason for the Jazz, but not in the traditional manner of acquisitions and roster shuffling. After years of nondescript play and mediocre results, there is a clear path toward competitiveness. Now the onus is on the players already on hand to work on their games and create an offensive framework to match the defensive foundation. Out of nowhere, the Utah Jazz are both frightening and fascinating and there is suddenly no limit to their potential.

We're two players away from making the playoffs. And we already have one of those coming back in Burks.

Great read. I like the sentence 'The Jazz simply out-Grizzed the Grizz.' So true this.

And:

"The number one thing I walk out of here with is, damn, their defense is good," Stevens said. "Like, that’s an outstanding defense, and it’s got the potential to be an outstanding defense for a long time, with that length."

The core defense, Rudy and Favs, can be this good for 10 years. You can build around that and maybe get a trophy.

We are 0 players away from making the playoffs, IMO. This team even without Burks next year would make the playoffs. With some Snyder juice, Burks, a good FA pickup and another year of development this team could easily be a threat to go deep into the playoffs next season.

Agreed. Post all-star break this team is a playoff team.
