What's new

Official Record Prediction Thread

30 - 36

I'm not as optimistic, too many rookies/relatively new players.

I really hope we give time to our younger guys for them to develop, especially Burks and Kanter.
 
Well, I do know the Jazz won't lose 82 games ;-)

Crazy free agency, yes. But if some teams are big winners, then others will be big losers. It's not as if a bunch of talent might be entering the league unexpectedly. I guess if a lot of talent shifts from the EC to the WC, that would have impact on the Jazz. I think it's a good bet the Jazz will stand pat in terms of the current roster. They'll re-sign Watson and Price and be done until the trade deadline. IMO, the Jazz scrimmages will not reveal much. We know Jefferson, Harris and Millsap will carry the load, with CJ probably anchoring the 2nd unit, just as before. Kanter and Burks will be rookies and will struggle early on. Favors seems to be the biggest wild card. If he makes a huge leap then the Jazz could surprise.

Jazz were playing close to .500 near the end of the season once the dust settled from the coaching change and the new players started to get adjusted to each other. I'm going to be an optimist and say the Jazz can finish at 33-33. They'll miss the playoffs by two games and secure the last lottery spot.

I picked the scrimage more for the time frame than actually seeing our guys play. On the freeagency part of it I'm curious to see what the jazz will do (not expenting much) and what GS, Denver, NO and LAC do since they would traditional be worse teams than us but have a chance to gain or lose guys.
