Comments on: Do the Utah Jazz Need a Superstar to Win? https://thejnotes.com/2016/10/17/utah-jazz-need-superstar-win/ Utah Jazz News, Rumors, and Fan Community Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:58:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.3 By: Drew Mackay https://thejnotes.com/2016/10/17/utah-jazz-need-superstar-win/comment-page-1/#comment-4222 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:58:00 +0000 https://thejnotes.com/?p=51229#comment-4222 I don’t want anyone to take away from this that I’m calling for a Jazz championship this year, I’m just making a case for it even if its a best case scenario. I just feel that there is a better option than blowing up teams and tanking till you get Ben Simmons or KAT.

I do think the Jazz are very unique with above average players at every position, but no elite talent at any one position. Its rare that a team has that kind of depth and the hope is the team is very even keeled. Im assuming teams like the Warriors and Cavs are going to have to survive when their starters are sitting and hope the starters have a large enough lead to give them a rest where the Jazz can keep coming and have advantages all the time.

You get your strong, long, mobile, athletic big-men that can defend at the rim and the perimeter, and defend the pick ‘n roll (Steven Adams, Serge Ibaka, Tristian Thompson). These lineups with a real big man can win the battle on the interior offensively, defensively, and on the rebounds.

The Jazz beat the Warriors in March of the 2014-15 season, and nearly beat them twice at home in 2015-16. The Jazz can expose the Warriors weakness like the Thunder and Cavs did, they are in a unique way, the Warriors kryptonite.
