The Utah Jazz need to consider bringing in some point guard help.

The Utah Jazz have a need at point guard that may not be met by anyone on the roster. Collin Sexton and Keyonte George are currently the most likely to take the reigns but there’s little in the way of a veteran point guard on the team that can take over if things don’t stabilize. So a veteran addition may be needed, especially since a lot of the Jazz’s success last year was with Mike Conley running things.

Outside of that, you have Talen Horton-Tucker, Kris Dunn, and maybe someone like Johnny Juzang, but he’s more of a shooting guard. You can always try Jordan Clarkson but he’s likely to be the same type of fit as Sexton. This in itself gives us another issue, can Clarkson and Sexton play together on the same team, and at the same time, and produce a winning product?

Dunn seems like a candidate, he truly does, but his lack of shooting and struggles staying healthy is going to be an issue for him to eek past Sexton and George, but Dunn seems like the best fit for what the Jazz need; a pass-first guard.

So if George and Sexton stumble, or get injured, the team will need a free-agent veteran to help smooth things over. Granted, at this point, the best free agent guards are gone, and the ones that are left are older, and better fit the Jazz’s cap needs, but these six names could help the team if the goal for 2023-2024 is to compete.
