Utah Jazz, X-ray of the worst team in the NBA

We analyze the roster of the Salt Lake City franchise and whether their poor start to the season can be resolved or will it be the general trend.

Starting a season by stringing together defeats is never pleasant, not even for projects in reconstruction with no major competitive aspirations, as is the case of Utah Jazz. Everything indicates that it will be a challenging year for those from Salt Lake City, who are already the only team unable to win a game so far in the championship. Can we expect a reaction? Why are they in this situation?

It is evident that there is a lack of talent and depth in the roster of Utah Jazz, but it also doesn't seem like they could contend so fiercely to be the worst team in the NBA. The experience of players like Mills, the high level of Sexton, the promising development potential of Keyonte George, and a not insignificant inside game with Kessler and Collins seemed like sufficient tools for the process of competitive evolution not to have valleys as deep as the current ones.

A lot needs to change if they want to at least aspire to generate a collective dynamic and an identity that will allow them to build towards the future. If they continue to pile up losses shortly, it would not be surprising if they soon let go, seek a trade for Collins or Kessler, and subtly opt for tanking to have more chances of acquiring next year's Draft first-round pick. Utah Jazz has interesting decisions to make.
