Number Five

Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic

Playoff Appearances: Incomplete

All-Stars: Donovan Mitchell (2020), Rudy Gobert (2020)

Maybe it’s a little premature to put this trio on the All-Time board, but that’s just how confident I am in this group. On paper, this has the potential to be a top-three trio in franchise history if they are able to stay together.

Not only do they have two 20-point-per-game scorers, but they have two All-Stars selected in the same season.

Before the NBA suspended its season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this group was sitting at 41-23 and fourth place in the Western Conference. They were on pace to win 52 games, and very well could have made it to 55 when playing with full swagger.

They enjoyed a month and a half stretch where they won 19 out of 21 games, including a 10 game winning streak in the month of January.

They had a signature win over the Los Angeles Clippers on the road, in which Donovan Mitchell out-dueled former Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard in the fourth quarter.

They also have two separate games won off of a buzzer-beating triple from Bojan Bogdanovic. This Jazz team knows how to win close ball games, just look at their numbers in the clutch this season.
