The 2023-2024 Utah Jazz season guide preview

The Roster
We’ve talked about the stars, but the entire Utah Jazz roster is filled with good players, just with a few holes admittedly. The team lacks a natural point guard who is among the top guys in the NBA in shooting. Kris Dunn is the closest they have, but he’s had a career of inconsistent offensive outings.
The team is also not deep at the center position. Walker Kessler is on the rise and Kelly Olynyk is a very good backup, but should either get hurt or see foul minutes, then you may have to turn to Omer Yurtseven who hasn’t looked great this preseason.
Other guys like Ochai Agbaji and Keyonte George could be two-way dynamos, with more expectations this year on Agbaji than George, however. George is one of three rookie players the team has and is the most likely, right now, to see big minutes. The other two, Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks may see minutes should the roster get shuffled to some degree.
