The Jazz Are the Second Youngest Team in the League and Missed the Playoffs By One Game

Yes, you read that right. Second youngest. One game.

If there’s a singular takeaway from this season, it’s experience. Far too often we saw the Jazz lose leads, show an inability to close or run out of gas. A lot of that can be chalked up to immaturity and a lack of experience. It’s hard to do something when you’ve never done it before.

Remember, this was Rodney Hood and Rudy Gobert’s first year as starters. The Jazz also had to start Raul Neto and Trey Lyles (both rookies) for several games.

It takes time for young guys to develop, adjust and ultimately play at the NBA level for an extended amount of time.

In the future, the Jazz will have the luxury of being there before. The mistakes have been made. Now it’s time to correct them. And it’s a whole lot easier to correct mistakes when experience is on your side.
