How many games will the Jazz win this season?

I put 26-30. The caveat is Austin and Will doing what they are publicly saying they are going to do. If not, it just depends on how bad they want to suck.
 
Looking at just the first 5 games of the year, we've got 2 possibly winnable games against Phoenix and another home game against Portland.
 
16 wins. No sexton Clarkson or Collins traded for young players could make the offense every bit as bad as the defense is every year.

The Jazz's bench is going to be WCJ, Brice, Cody, Taylor and Nurkic, with Svi also coming in and spamming shots. That bench lineup will struggle, even if our starters keep pace.
 
30-35 (yes, I'm a homer.. sue me) if we get to play. Markannen, 3 point ace Kessler, the other Ace, Flip, and our point guard won't completely suck; that being said, I don't see them getting to compete all year. Whatever Ainge Jr said, I think they're still on the tank track.
 
I think will will be better than last year- in spite of losing John Collins and Collin Sexton - who statistically were our best players in the games they played. But they only played 40 and 67 games- so the other games their minutes were filled by scrubs. Laurie could play 30 games more than last year and will surely play at a higher level with better ball movement. I thought the Sexton/Nurkic trade was a net loss when it happened- but I see now how he will fit in MUCH better with Hardy's vision for multiple players on the court setting up plays with great passing. Hendricks looks ready to improve our defense quite a bit and can hit open shots. I believe Keyonte will take a big step in terms of efficiency and more effort on defense. I also think Bailey and WCJ will be rare rookies to provide a positive impact year one. I am also excited for positive influence on younger players from Kevin Love, Georges Niang, and Kyle Anderson- at least while they are here. I think Collin and Collins were playing for their personal stats and not modeling the behaviors Hardy wants to instill as his culture.

The only thing that worries me- is that there will be fewer teams actively tanking- unless a couple teams have major injuries like Philly last year- and decide to tank rather than fight for a playin spot.

I hope we win 19 plus games one way or the other--- because I placed a hefty bet on the the over!
