6. Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz may have flamed out in the playoffs last season, but we can’t ignore what this team accomplished during the regular season. If Donovan Mitchell or Mike Conley don’t get banged up, perhaps their end-of-the-season result is different.

Either way, the Jazz are one of the more intriguing teams to keep an eye on in my opinion. Can they continue to build off last year’s regular-season success? Will they take a step back this season? Will Mitchell continue to rise up to superstardom?

I’m not sure if  the Jazz will be a favorite come playoff time in the Western  Conference? After all, until this team can turn regular-season success to playoff success, there will always be doubt surrounding  this  team in the postseason.
