In the first of a five-part series, we’ll take a look at five free agent point guards that the Utah Jazz could consider this offseason.

The Utah Jazz concluded an exciting 2017-18 season, but it’s clear that the entire team is ready to get back on the hardwood and take yet another step forward next year. One way in which the team may aim to make significant advances between then and now is in free agency.

Although the NBA Draft is the next exciting thing ahead for basketball fans, the free agency period begins shortly thereafter meaning it isn’t all that far off on the horizon. As such, over the next couple weeks, I’ll be putting together five pieces detailing five players the Jazz could pursue in free agency at each position.

Today’s edition will start out with the floor generals – the point guard position. Although Ricky Rubio seems pretty solidified as the starting point guard for next season, the Jazz could always use further depth as well as some insurance in case Dante Exum‘s woes continue or Utah is unable to retain Raul Neto in free agency.

As such, here are five realistic free agent options the Jazz could target at the point guard position.
