Utah Jazz
Had it not been for the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors doing absurd things to start the season, the Utah Jazz would be the talk of the Western Conference. They may not be winning at the same pace as the Suns and Warriors, but this team is still extremely dangerous.
They are arguably the deepest team in the West and have two of the best players at their positions in the conference in Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. As long as this team can remain healthy, they’re considered one of the handful of teams that could potentially win the West.
Especially considering there’s not one clear-cut favorite in the conference at the moment – unless that’s what you consider the Warriors to be. Either way, buy stock on the Jazz this season.
Verdict: Turkey
