Three reasons the Utah Jazz offense will be better than people think

Although the Utah Jazz offense is projected to take a major step backwards in 2017-18, the team’s overall composition might make it better than people think.

Although no one is able to deny just how good the Utah Jazz defense is going to be during this upcoming season, a source of great angst among Jazz fans has been how everything will come together on the opposite end of the floor. It’s never easy to bounce back after losing a team’s top two scorers and that’s exactly what Utah is facing in 2017-18 with the offseason departures of Gordon Hayward and George Hill.

Nevertheless, while some have already written the Utah Jazz off, claiming that their dominant defense still won’t be enough to make up for their potentially lackluster offense, thus erasing their hopes at a playoff spot, those assumptions may be coming in a bit too prematurely. In fact, I think the Jazz have a pretty decent chance to be much better offensively than what they’re being given credit for.

That’s not to say that there aren’t a lot of question marks surrounding the Jazz on the offensive side of the floor – there most certainly are! However, Quin Snyder has proven himself as an extremely adaptable and capable coach, therefore, if anyone is able to take what offensive talent he has to work with and maximize it, I think it’s him.

And for that very reason, despite some real doubts regarding Utah’s ability to score next season, these are three reasons why I think their offense will be better than many have projected.
