Offseason review: The Jazz deserve credit for a job unnoticed. They looked at a so-so batch of mid-career talent on the market, the rising cap, and their own budding young nucleus and decided that standing still for a minute was their very best option. It was. Their internal improvement was massive last season, and it projects to be even greater in 2015-16.
Grade: B+
2015-16 season outlook: The Jazz are beyond their rebuilding phase and are looking to crack the playoffs in the daunting Western Conference. They should be right in the thick of the conference’s lower seeds, as they had the league’s best defense after last year’s All-Star break. Rudy Gobert will soon be a star, and Utah will be a real threat.
Prediction: 10th Western Conference
