No injuries!
This one is pretty basic, but is ultra important re: the Jazz’s ability to reach their full potential.
Health is crucial to the success of any NBA team and despite consecutive appearances in the second-round of the playoffs, the Jazz have been more hindered by their lack of it than any team in the league over the past three years.
This season, Gobert, Exum, Neto and Sefolosha all missed significant time. So, too, did Joe Johnson and Hood before they were dealt. Last year it was Favors, Gobert, Burks, Hayward and Hill. And so on and so forth.
Obviously, the real danger comes once the season starts, but the Jazz can’t have any of their players tearing up their knees playing with their national team or busting ribs during pick-up, either.
