If the NBA’s major awards were given out at a team level as well, these following players would be the winners for the 2016-17 Utah Jazz.
Although the official 2016-17 NBA Awards won’t be announced until the first ever NBA Awards show on Monday, June 26th (something I’m not fond of in the least, but let’s not go there), with the Utah Jazz’s season all wrapped up I figured now was as good a time as any to dole out some awards.
There’s no debating that the Jazz had a phenomenal season and that’s thanks to several incredible performances throughout the season that, although they may not receive national acclaim, are at least deserving of some recognition. Therefore, in the list ahead, I’ll be assigning a member of the Jazz a “team version” of each of the major NBA Awards.
Although fans and the organization alike are already looking forward to a busy summer and planning on yet another exhilarating season next year, 2016-17 was a remarkable journey and shouldn’t be cast aside just yet. In honor of relishing yet again in Utah’s first postseason appearance since 2012 and all the other great accomplishments this year, without further ado here are your Utah Jazz Team Awards.
