As the 2018-19 NBA season slowly draws nearer, here’s a look at bold predictions for each player on the Utah Jazz roster.

As we fight our way through the dog days of summer where about the only basketball to be found is Hardwood Classics on NBATV (yes, I tuned in this week), pretty much all that can be done to satiate a thirst for NBA ball is to speculate about the upcoming season. The start of preseason is still over two months away, but the undying hope of a successful Utah Jazz season burns as strong as ever.

As such, I’ve decided to put my speculative hat on in a big way, taking a look at each player on the Jazz roster and giving my one bold prediction for that player. Do I think all 15 of these predictions will happen? No way. That would be almost impossible. But for each player individually, even the boldest of these bold predictions has at least some likelihood of actually occurring.

So if you’re finding yourself going through Jazz withdrawals like I am, go ahead and strap in and prepare yourself to take this ride along with me. As we look at every player on the Jazz roster, it’s going to be hard to not get excited about the potential each one holds and thus the potential inside this team as a whole if even a small percentage of these bold predictions come to fruition.
