A far-too-early look at potential Utah Jazz free agent targets in 2018

Trevor Ariza

Although they might be hard-pressed to land him, Trevor Ariza would certainly seem to fit the Utah Jazz’s mold. As the definition of a 3-and-D guy, Ariza would play a valuable role on the Jazz especially as they look to pick up the pieces left by Gordon Hayward.

His actual scoring figures may not blow anyone away, but he makes up for it by being a superb defender and reliable deep-ball threat as well as a durable player who has managed to play in 80 games or more in each of the last three seasons. Given Utah’s recent struggles with injury woes, that is a trait that would certainly be very welcome in Salt Lake City.
