The Utah Jazz’s first 10 games of the 2019-20 NBA season have been full of both disappointments and very encouraging pleasant surprises.

We’re 10 games into the 2019-20 NBA season and the Utah Jazz sit at a solid 7-3 record, putting them just a half-game out of first place in the West behind the 7-2 Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, and locked in a tie with the LA Clippers and Houston Rockets. That definitely isn’t bad company to be in and is a nice start to the year for the Jazz considering a tough early schedule and all the new faces they’re working to assimilate.

With that being the case, it’s safe to say that there have been a lot of positives about the Jazz’s start through 10 games. Nevertheless, there also have been a few disappointments as they look to get up to speed.

It’s hard to make a clear judgement of any team 10 games into the season, so it’s wisest not to overreact. Regardless of what we’ve seen thus far – both good and bad – it’s important to stay even-keeled. We know the Jazz figure to be an exceptional team this year, but it’s also safe to say they have things to work on. The highs shouldn’t be too emphasized and the lows shouldn’t be read into too much.

Nevertheless, with the first span of games under the Jazz’s belt, there certainly have been some impressionable things to pick up on. Therefore, without further ado, let’s take a look at the three most pleasant surprises the Jazz have shown thus far as well as the three disappointments that will need some work for games 11-82.
