After 50 games last year, the Jazz were an awful 17-33. That's an eight game swing minus Favors, Gobert, Burks and Exum for significant parts of the season so far. That's nuts. Had they all stayed healthy, it would be interesting to see what their record would have been up to this point. At least Lyles, Withey and Neto have all gotten some serious burn this year. That will help a ton moving forward once Burks and Exum are back (and they add Teague at the deadline.)
Experience for Lyles and Withey sure is going to help us for sure down the road. May be this is the silver lining?
It could be worth it for the extra experience for may be only 2-3 more wins. May be that's paying off right now with Lyles and Neto playing well in this 6 game stretch?!?!
