- No team enters the season with as many options or possibilities as the Jazz, and few teams can shake up the Association this season like Utah can.

The World Cup experience will definitely help the Jazz for the coming season.
Big Facts! they had like 6 player's in the tournament that really sharpened their skills this summer and hunger for winning & competition
You are right on the money. And I'll be surprised if the Jazz haven't added a huge piece by the trade deadline. They're all in, and they're gonna turn some heads and shock some teams. Go Jazz!
The way they produce these videos are top notch!
Can’t lie jazz are way better than any up coming new teams
OKC n jazz are it
This guy is the GOAT of theScore
Can't wait to watch Kris Dunn ball out all season 💪🏾
Hell yeah
Pilipinas is with the Jazz this season for sure. ❤🇵🇭
Same here from Finland! ✊️🇫🇮❤
Lol just this year? Clarkson been with Utah since like 20202 my boy
@@G42X86comprehension you bobo
Nope not all. Still a laker fan since 98
I've always called it this offseason, Jazz is underrated
Exellent analysis. You just earn my sub.
I must add that Lauri will be better this season than last one, but it may take few weeks. Finnish military is not best place tune your basketball skills. Lauri did the right thing and earn lot of respect from Finnish people. Our military service is something what we all must to do. Those few people who dont go in service get some level of contempt from those ho went thru that service. Also Lauri is equal with rest of us in this service, rich or poor everyone must serve they time. In my age group its kinda sacret thing.
Lauris stat numbers may go down this season, depending his usage %. Now utah have so many more options than last season. His effiency will be high again, but maybe not as many shot attempts. It all depending how many shots Collins and others take.
My prediction is that utah will win this season abt 45 games. They also may win one playoff series, depending who is against them. Denver is too good when Murray, Jokic and Gordon are all healthy, nobody have chance against them. Against everybody else utah have decent chance to win best of 7 series because they have good enough roster and one of the best coaches in the whole league. Hardy will make right adjustments in best of 7 series. He will be good as Spoelstra who is coach goat atm. In playoffs its lot abt adjusments and coach really matters, he is most important person whole team.
I cant wait when season starts. I have done interesting predictions. Ex. Celtics dont be that good this year with Porzingis. They still are good team because they have Tatum & some other good players but they are not real contender. They lost lot more than people think when let Smart go. And ofc this utah team is interesting to watch. Also Wemby may not be as good people think he is, not this year. Nba is different league, so many games and different rules etc. He may be very good later but not on his first year. His future look bright because Pop is good coach and he wil teach to wemby all what he need to know.
Good analyse except I don't see a world where they trade Lauri except if they get top ten player back. He is an all star who wants to stay in Utah (he doesn't want to go to live in a big city) and he is so unselfish player that he can play with any other star and be productive. Also his contract is one of the best in the league at the moment (24-25 only 6 million guaranteed and 18 million as a total number) compared to his production. If that doesn't yet convince, Lauris national team coach was in Utah's summerleague coaching staff and one of the Utah's coaches has been this summer with Lauris national team in Finland and at world cup. He has already draw plays for Jazz's headcouch on how they could use Lauri in Jazz next season similarly than national team does.
Utah went from Contenders into Rebuilders to "Ahead-of-schedule Contenders" to "Never-going-to-get-it-done-and-need-to-rebuild Rebuilders" to "Ahead of Schedule Contenders...." in the span of 5 seasons.
the prevailing narratives around this team are usually 100% wrong.
so good idea hedging your bets by keepin the options open
I really think John Collins had similar problems at Hawks as Lauri Markkanen had at Bulls - motivation down due to small usg. So, looking forward to unlock JC season 19-20 (or better) version (with all-star LM season 22-23 or better version)
John 19-20: PTS 21.6, FG% 58.3, 3P% 40.1, FT% 80.0, REB 10.0, TS% 65.9, USG% 22.4
Lauri 22-23: PTS 25.6, FG% 49.9, 3P% 39.2, FT% 87.5, REB 8.6, TS% 64.1, USG% 25.9
Kristaps Porzingis your next video theScore 💪💪💪
Yes, we all like to hear how celtics take deep nose dive this season with KP :D
Lauri and co ❤️
Jazz 6 players play FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023-24 Utah Jazz DARK HORSE in the WEST 💪💪💪
Nickeil Alexander Walker
Kelly Olynyk
Simone Fontecchio
Lauri Markannen
Walker Kessler
Jordan Clarkson
The FIBA WC experience will elevate their confidence this upcoming season
NAW is Timberwolf not a Jazz player. Other than that (and Markkanen is the correct spelling) probably very true 😃
the only wrong here is john collins they should have develop kessler more with his D and lauris offense man its gonna be crazy
3:04 Steve Kerr
Dame to Utah
I like starting 5
1.Sexton/KG
2.JC/Ochai
3.Markenen/Fontaccio
4.Collins/Hendricks
5.KO/Walker
Fontecchio*
Damian Lillard would be a great addition to this team but they would need to trade away collin sexton
🤘
Utah would have made the playoffs, not play-in, playoffs, if they didn't sit Clarkson and Lauri so much at the end of the season.
Oh please.. every pro sports league has those few franchises that are sometimes a contender but always a bridesmaid never a bride. Hate to break it to ya Utah, but that’s your Jazz.
Utah jazz need to reach out to Brooklyn nets again for a trade for cam Thomas he would be a good fit with Utah jazz
Lolll
Jazz are not usurping:
suns
Denver
Lakers
Kings
Grizzlies
Clippers
Wolves
Warriors
Thunder
Dallas
people forget the west is stacked as heck
at least one of those is going down to injury. Mavs are still meh. Kyrie and Luka dont fit. The Wolves dont fit together either. Injuries will hurt LA teams. The Suns are thin af. The Warriors are old af..........ehhhhh........the real thing to me is.....can they solve the point guard thing? If they can, they will be annoyingly good.
Yeah jazz tanked at the end of the seson and sill compeated in most games. Yall wilding
Why is JC always left out of the conversation? the guy just averaged 20ppg...
West too stacked I see them being the 13th seed
It is so crazy how this will probably be so. In the east they are at worst top 5.
@@bandito241 They could probably make the playoffs in the East but idk about top 5 seed when East has Boston Milwaukee Philly Cleveland and Miami
@@bandito241top 5? That's ridiculous. They were 13-17 against the East last season. At best, they would be a play in team
@@baltimoreborn36712lol Philly
@@thedarkfrost2351 Philly is easily a better team lmfao what’s funny
Well, you are sleeping on the Kings, so....
Directionles team
😴
38 win season coming. 😅😅
Zzzzzz
Isn't Lauri going to serve his country's military this season?
No, he already took care of that over the summer
@@radu_nedelcut he only took care of part of it. He still got more time to serve
@@jimboslice303He has under a month of service left. Military service in Finland isnt the same as north korea. It only conditionally lasts for a year and no athelete such as Markkanen will ever serve that year unless they want to voluntarily.
@jimboslice303
Lauri won't miss any time in NBA. I'm not sure if he still have some time left or not, but max. less than month. He can serve the rest next summer too if needed. That's a perk of being a pro athlete at his level and having contract to play overseas 🙂
12 place at best
