Utah Jazz 2022-23 Season: Four Bold Predictions
The Utah Jazz had a very turbulent offseason, to say the least. There were massive trades involving multiple players and a search for a new head coach.
Since arriving in Utah, the Jazz have sustained a level of success not experienced by many NBA organizations. But, relatively new executive Danny Ainge decided that the face and direction of the franchise would be much different in 2022-23.
As the summer progressed, Utah's front office continued with its plan to mold the new-look Jazz. Frustrations and opinions were at an all-time high within Jazz Nation, but the Ainge product, at least for now, is finalized after the team made its final roster cuts on Saturday.
With the 15-man roster set, let's review what the early NBA season may yield for the Jazz.
Will Hardy Elevates Jazz
Markkanen Will Lead in Scoring & Rebounding
Sleeper: Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Sexton & Kessler Will Need Time
Bottom Line
A long season lies ahead, beginning October 19, 2022, against the Denver Nuggets. The final roster is intact and the new-look Jazz are finally ready to begin a new organizational chapter.
The only question is why Conley and Clarkson remain on the roster, if the Jazz are truly embarking on a rebuild.
