Looks like USA today did some serious in-depth research on the status of this Jazz team. NOT.
It appears that they simply looked up a few of the most readily available stats on the Jazz in their weekly piece on Utah.
Despite their lack of insight on the Jazz, their decision to leave Utah in the 20-spot after an 0-3 week is, in the words of Nikola Mirotic, “intriguing”.
Does that speak more about USA Today’s faith in Utah or about the lack thereof in other squads ranked in the bottom 10?
Who knows. I do, however, agree that the Jazz are still one of the league’s top-20 teams.
