Utah Jazz report card: Player grades at quarter-season

Overall GPA: 2.70 (B-)

Ekpe Udoh was a plus/minus anomaly in the early parts of the season.

He has since been less dominant in that area, however, he has continued to provide a steady defensive presence in the paint for Utah’s bench unit.

While Udoh’s defense has been as advertised, at times at is down right painful to watch him on the offensive end.

Before falling flat against Denver, Udoh was 8-of-13 over the previous four games. Maybe he has found some consistency on the offensive end? If Udoh can add six to eight points per night and slightly improve on the boards, his grades will soar as the end of the year approaches.
