Team GPA: 2.73 (B)

Analysis:

This Jazz team seems like a team who may be finally figuring things out. Winners of four of their last five games, Utah has a chance to show that their recent play isn’t a fluke.

While a “B” may seem generous for a team that currently has a losing record, remember, these grades are based on each player’s individual expectations.

The Jazz are still a couple “A” players away from truly contending, but the amount of “B” players is a sign that Utah still has a core a players that is just waiting for a star or two to emerge.
