With the FIBA World Cup wrapped up, the latest J-Notes Blast Podcast episode looks at the performance of each Utah Jazz player and how it will translate to the 2019-20 NBA season!

We’ve officially reached the calm before the storm as we await the start of Utah Jazz training camp and the beginning of the 2019-20 NBA season. With the FIBA World Cup all wrapped up, there’s certainly a general stillness surrounding the Association, but it’s certain to not last for long as the excitement is looming just on the horizon.

With very few new topics to cover, this latest episode of The J-Notes Blast Podcast will simply take a deeper dive into the recent FIBA play of the three Utah Jazz players that participated – Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and Joe Ingles. Each of them had solid outings, and though the results were mixed, each enjoyed prolific success in their own way.

As well as look at how each player fared in FIBA play, I also take a look at how that could translate over when they suit back up for the Utah Jazz, which is what truly will be most important to both them and their fans.

For Point 1, we’ll focus exclusively on Donovan Mitchell and Team USA, including what Mitchell did well but what Team USA’s overall shortcomings truly were.

For Point 2, we’ll talk about Rudy Gobert’s play with France, with a dash of opinion on former Jazzman Ricky Rubio and his play with Spain as the FIBA World Cup MVP.

Lastly, for Point 3, we’ll hit on Joe Ingles’ play with Australia as well as how he’ll ultimately fit in with the Utah Jazz roster this upcoming season.
