As the team embarks on a rebuild, who will survive to be part of the next winning Jazz team?
The Utah Jazz host the San Antonio Spurs in pre-season play at Vivint Arena, Oct. 10, 2022.For a lot of Utah Jazz fans, every win will be bittersweet this season.
NBA turnover is at an all-time high. In order to acquire the stars that will be needed to get to the next level, the Jazz will have to move players and salaries. Frankly, many of their young players are just not going to pan out — such is the risk inherent in all young players. But there is a chance that a small handful of players — those three or four or five guys — from this year’s roster will be around when the Jazz taste the playoffs again.
Despite being in his fourth NBA season, Talen Horton-Tucker, acquired in the Patrick Beverley deal, is still just 21 years old. He’s a bowling ball of a 6-4 shooting guard, with long arms, a lot of bulk in the middle, and no neck. But he sometimes uses that physicality unwisely right now, driving into defenders and taking wild shots.
It’s a similar story for Malik Beasley — he scored 20 points per game two years ago for the Timberwolves before being supplanted in the starting lineup last season. Beasley’s speciality is shooting, though: He’s a career 39% 3-point guy. He’s bigger than Sexton, and as such a better defender, but probably still needs to do more to establish himself on that end of the floor moving forward.
