How has each Utah Jazz player performed relative to their potential through the first 10 games of the 2017-18 NBA season?

10 games into the regular season, the Utah Jazz sit at 5-5 and at eighth place in a surprisingly close Western Conference. Despite the small sample size, let’s take a look at some early season grades for every member of the Jazz.

Disclaimer: These grades are not based on speculation or comparison, rather they are solely determined on how each player has performed in their role compared to their expectations up to this point.
