ESPN West Forecast

At the time of this post they have done #1 - #12 and the Jazz are not listed yet, same with the Kings.

So ESPN has the Jazz winning under 30 games and last or second last in the west. There are potentially 4 in the East that finish worse than the Jazz.

So bottom 6 (Jazz, Kings, Celtics, 76ers, Magic and Bucks).

Thoughts?

If we're not better than the Lakers next year its time for a mini blow up.

Sounds about right. To win in the NBA you need vets and proven talent. We have neither. We will suck again this year. We are underestimating how important Jefferson and Williams were for us, and overestimating how good Burks and Kanter are/will be.

Karl Towns here we come.

Our future is bright:

Rudy Gobert
Karl Towns
Gordon Hayward
Alec Burks
Dante Exum

You forgot Favors

We'll win more than 26 games. Guaranteed.

Agree...Head Coaching change alone will account for another 6 to 8 wins more than last season.

my guess is 35 wins maximum.

Well the West is going to get a little worse with Kevin Love leaving, so that is a positive.

One team. They didn't make the playoffs. So not much impact in terms of the Jazz' prospects.
I still think Utah will win 35 games. That will have them about 10th in terms of the draft.

Yep, better than nothing

If this is the case and the NBA starts the new lottery rules next year then that will further increase the odds of a good Jazz pick
