Analysis

The Jazz took a minor drop from their 30-game mark team grade. Not surprising after the incredibly tough stretch that this team has endured over the last few weeks.

Utah’s schedule gets much more friendly in the coming weeks. If the Jazz can get healthy and build on some of their improving pieces, they should have the chance to make a run toward the playoffs.

Currently sitting in tenth in the Western Conference, Utah is just three and a half games back of New Orleans for the eighth seed. Maybe even more surprising is the fact that the Jazz are just five games back of the Portland Trail Blazers for the fifth seed.

How would you grade each Jazzman at the halfway point? What did I get right/wrong? Let me know in the comments below.
