Utah Jazz – More offense
Rudy Gobert is a defensive monster, who is a fantastic centerpiece around a very defensive-based Utah. Gobert, Derrick Favors, and Joe Ingles work well together creating a serious problem in the frontcourt. When the game tips off, the only real offensive option the Jazz have is Donovan Mitchell.
With the soon to be departed Ricky Rubio on his way out, hopefully newly acquired Mike Conley can help offensively. However, it may be hard since the Utah Jazz traded away all their outside shooters in exchange for Conley. Joe Ingles is a good 3-and-D player but tends to get outmatched by many small forwards in the league especially on offense.
The Jazz traded away way too much in order to take Conley from Memphis. Now, their already handicapped team will be almost solely relied on by their defensive game. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world since Utah’s defense ranks among the best. But what can they do when it’s their turn with the ball. Hopefully, the Jazz can acquire some more offense during the summer.
In this league, there is no such thing as a perfect team. Not even the almighty Warriors are perfect. Each team has its flaws and ways to get better which is what makes things interesting to see how they approach their issues. If every team was perfect, there would be no league because every game would be so unentertaining.
Some teams have already made moves to improve while others seem to be going in the wrong direction. With free agency so close ahead who knows how the shift of the NBA’s greats will shake things up for better or worse towards these teams.
