The Utah Jazz’s Foundation Is Set. Now It’s Time to Build Around It
As fans, our mindsets are myopic and we fail to realize that building a team is a process. Thankfully, the Jazz have their foundation set.
Gordon Hayward has emerged as a rising star. Rodney Hood is a bona fide scorer. Alec Burks, when healthy, is an electrifying playmaker. And Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert have proven that they are one of the best and most frightening big man tandems in the league.

However, the team isn’t a finished product. Pieces are missing, but they will be added. Exercising patience is never fun or easy, but it’s necessary.
There’s money to be spent and deals to be made. Our job is to relax, continue having faith and trust that the people in charge are going to do their jobs.

So keep your chin up, Jazz Nation. Despite having to watch teams who don’t play in Salt Lake City battle for a title, there’s still plenty of stoke to be had. The light of the end of this dark tunnel is beaming bright.
I hope I’ve provided some perspective. We’ve got a lot to look forward to and the good of this team far outweighs the bad. Now let’s sit back and enjoy the ride.
