Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz is the best team that no one seems to be talking about in the Western Conference. They’re first in the conference at 16-5, have a top 6 offense and defense, and the third-best net rating in the league. This team is checking all the boxes as a potential contender in the West and could be the Denver Nuggets of this season.
They could use some depth in the frontcourt, however, and adding P.J. Tucker would successfully accomplish that goal. Plus, he’d be an ideal fit next to Rudy Gobert in the starting lineup, if the Jazz would choose to acquire him, and could still provide the floor-spacing that the team needs for Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley to operate.
Especially in the Western Conference playoffs, the Jazz is going to need all the defenders they could get their hands on. Utah is a sleeper contender in the West and adding P.J. Tucker would only make this team that much more dangerous.
