Depends if we get Lillard or not.

Without Lillard probably 9-10 seed.

With Lillard I think we’re 4-5 seed.
 
1. Nugs ( so impressive last year, they will remain on top)
2. Suns ( pretty good line up with the add)
3. Wolves ( i believe Rudy will com back to his level, Ant keep improving and Mike still got some on the tank, could go down if they loose KAT)
4. Kings
5. Grizz
6. Warriors (coud be higher if CP got something left in the tank)
7. Pelicans ( if Zion healthy)
8. Jazz
9. Mavs
10. LAkers

But honestly hard to predict, How the spurs will play, Clippers might be there too.... if we ended somewhere between 6 and 8 , will be delighted.
 
5-6 if Dunn is as great he were in his short stint. 7-10 if he is not as good as I wish. Him and Kessler should be our defensive backbone+ Dunn is a great floor general. if he will deserve minutes and getting them he is running for the mip.
 
Clarkson/Agbaji Is a pretty solid backcourt pairing. I’d be interested in seeing how well that would work. Also, love the pairing of Sexton and THT together as well.
It really is not. Starting five needs either Dunn or Sexton for the sets run smoother and the ball moving. Dunn has GREAT decision making and Sexton was getting better all the time. If neither is starting I will be so frustrated.
 
I think we will miss out barely again. I think we tank and preserve our top 10 pick for 2024 draft. Build from within
 
Simple question: Where do you think the Jazz rank in the Western Conference now that the draft and the majority of free agency have concluded?

Expected Rotation
1- Clarkson / Horton-Tucker / Dunn
2- Agbaji / Sexton / George
3- Markkanen / Fontecchio / Sensabaugh
4- Collins / Hendricks / Samanic
5- Kessler / Olynyk / Collins
That depth chart if the pecking order rotation was as you have it, lacks a lot of playmaking. I would not expect it to be doled out in that way ,unless we tank, which looks improbable.
Having Clarkson in the starting 5 at the 1 for example, is ok if Sexton isn't, if you want to win games but not at the 1. He is the epitome of microwave 1 on 5.
Play him off Dunn or THT if you want on the 2nd unit and trade him at the deadline to any contender or fringe contender needing a bench scorer. Then hand it to KG.
Using him at the pg spot would only tank his trade value and send us into bottom 5 territory.
I give us a 32 win ceiling with a 24 win floor if we started those 5 and brought rookies and Sexton in on low usage and low minutes. Not bad but nothing worth remembering.
my rotation order to win most minutes to least is LM,Sexton,Kessler,Ochai,Clarkson,KO,Hendricks,THT,KG,Dunn. Minutes restrictions: Collins and Brice for KO and THT. Everyone else garbage time practice squad
 
I'm still not 100% certain this will be the final roster before the season starts. I think this is about .500 team... maybe a bit higher, maybe a bit lower. I think we still are looking for THE GUY on this team.

if we stand as is, was the op q. but you think we are going to win 40 games with this roster?
That is very optimisitic, but ok

Well we were about .500 before we decided to go full tank last season and started resting key players. Again... it might be a few games under .500... or a few games over .500 depending on luck.
