NBA: 10 way-too-early predictions for the 2019-20 season

The Jazz will be the second-best team in the West

The Utah Jazz quietly had one of the most impressive offseasons in the NBA. Not only did they manage to trade for Mike Conley, but they also managed to add Emmanuel Mudiay and Bojan Bogdanovic in free agency – two players that will not only add depth but add some firepower in both the starting lineup and off the bench.

Not to mention that Donovan Mitchell should really be coming into his own as a professional, entering his third year in the league and that Rudy Gobert continues to be one of the most dominant defensive players in the league.

Quin Snyder will definitely have plenty of talent at his disposal this season and, as one of the league’s most overlooked coaches, he should be able to find the right formula for this team. If Utah can get off to a quick start, don’t be surprised if by the end of the season the Jazz is looking like the second or third best team in the West. Yes, I know the Clippers are there, but I believe in the offseason that the Jazz have had that much.

This team is not going away and definitely improved this summer. Don’t be surprised if they have the season that many expected them to have this past season.
