SALT LAKE CITY — After Bojan Bogdanovic underwent surgery on his wrist and is now out for the season, the Utah Jazz will look a little different once/if the NBA season resumes.
ESPN writer Zach Lowe recently spotlighted the 2019-20 Utah Jazz, calling them “compelling” in a recent article.
Lowe writes that although coach Quin Snyder and the Jazz had figured some things out as of late, with Mike Conley and the bench playing well, losing Bogdanovic is a huge blow to Utah’s title hopes.
“Bogdanovic’s wrist surgery stalls all that until next season,” Lowe wrote. “He is more indispensable than everyone but Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell — a catch-and-shoot gunner who doesn’t need the ball as much as Mitchell, Clarkson, Conley, or Ingles (even if he can handle it some!) with enough size to jostle against opposing power forwards. Without Bogdanovic, the entire structure of Utah’s team wobbles.”
Lowe says that Joe Ingles can move back into the starting lineup, but the Jazz will get “smaller, shallower, and more homogeneous in the type of perimeter players in its rotation.”
“Snyder will find some workable solutions,” Lowe concluded, “but we have to wait until next season to see what the apex version of this Utah roster can do.”
