. G/F. Utah Jazz. THABO SEFOLOSHA. I

Overall GPA: 3.08 (B)

To be frank, Thabo Sefolosha’s season-ending injury straight up sucks. Sefolosha will miss the remainder of the season as he opted for surgery to repair his MCL. Before the injury, he far exceeded my initial expectations for his season and personified what I felt like this team is all about.

Despite Utah’s obvious plan to build around Mitchell and Gobert, players like Sefolosha are essential in building a potential contender. The wily vet provided leadership on and off the court to go along with his stingy defense and uncanny ability to get to the rim.

Fingers crossed we haven’t seen the last of Sefolosha in a Jazz jersey.
