With the 2018-19 NBA season now well over half over, there are a trio of big questions that have to be on the mind of every Utah Jazz fan.

What an odd season it’s been thus far for the Utah Jazz. After coming into the season with the highest of expectations, the Jazz got off to an extremely disappointing start. They floundered below .500 for much of the first half of the year while struggling through a daunting schedule.

Now, all of a sudden, they’ve won six straight and appear to be turning a corner. The defense (anchored, of course, by Rudy Gobert) is back in full force and the squad has been firing on all cylinders. With the schedule easing up from here on out, many feel safe saying that the Jazz are back in a good spot. That obviously remains to be seen, but you can see where the argument comes from.

Even with Utah’s recent improved play, though, there’s still plenty of big questions surrounding this team during the coming months between now and the end of the regular season. While they’ve definitely looked better than they started, there’s still questions about if the squad is truly where they want to be prior to the start of the playoffs.

As such, there are three big questions that are undoubtedly looming over this team moving forward.
