Last time we checked into each Utah Jazz player’s grades was at the quarter-season mark. Since then Utah’s injury curse has returned entering the NBA’s most difficult stretch this season.

Despite the injuries and a rough slate of games, Utah has been able to stay afloat in the West’s playoff picture. While things don’t get any easier for the Jazz until January, many of Utah’s role players have really stepped up and shown that they have a legitimate case for more minutes. Depth bodes well for a team struggling with injuries and looking for options.

Let’s see which Jazz players are improving their overall “GPA” as the season approaches its halfway point.

Disclaimer: Each player’s grade will be based on their performance over Utah’s last 10 games. Grades are also determined by looking at each player’s role and not by comparing other player’s performance. I will also track each player’s cumulative GPA for the season.

Get caught up with my quarter-season grades here.

Without further ado, let’s get to it…
