The Ultimate Jazz Team

In this series, I assemble what I believe is the greatest team possible for each franchise. In this specific video, we're looking at the Utah Jazz.
5 starters, 5 backups, and 3 rotations players. A total of 13 roster spots on each Ultimate Team. It's not just about talent, but it's about building a team that works and gels together.

Don't sleep on how Dantley can contribute to that, as well. He and Maravich will know when to pass rather than go for the points, Eaton and Malone will make the shots when they get it, and Stockton will make sure the ball is wherever the percentages are on its side.

I love this team. This is actually a legit very powerful team. The reason to me this team is so powerful is because they have the right players in each positions to make a powerful team. Lot of other teams would have better players but they would more be in similar positions but this team actually has players in different positions to make it a great team. And that floor spacing and shooting would be crazy for the starters. Superb small ball team while having great defense with the big men.

Hey Jonny!! I'm loving this series so far, I'm learning a lot. A suggestion, please can you pick also a coach for this Ultimate Teams, they can be as powerfull as you want, but I think the X/O part it's essential as well. Maybe when you finish with all the teams you can make a video call "The Ultimate Coaches for the Ultimate Teams" or something like that. Thanks and Keep going with the good content.

[@jonnyarnett]

A lot of people have been asking for that. I think it’s a little too late in the series to just start picking, because I haven’t been up to this point, but me and my editor plan on doing a lot with the series once it’s done. We want to rank the teams, and I wanna do a 2k simulation and react to what happens, and during that video, we’ll probably also pick coaches for all 30 teams. I think that’s probably the best approach at this point.

[@MJIZZEL]

This is a team that would probably be very underrated and slept on but would give the Lakers trouble. Surprised Jeff Malone didn't make it. Remember him being a great scorer too.

[@dejanrancic7409]

Just adding Pete Maravich to the Stockton-Malone pairing makes Jazz title contenders in my book. The two were, after all, the exemplary pairing of the nineties, and Pistol Pete was Pistol Pete! Joking aside, this is a solid team and, lest we forget, the media did try to spin Williams and Boozer as the successors to Stockton and Malone. This team can definitely make a deep run in this Ultimate NBA league.

[@fortynights1513]

What’s notable with this team hypothetically is that Utah wouldn’t have the problem they did in the 90’s, with Stockton and Maravich together. As is, it’s been said that the team was predictable with Stockton passing as much as he did.

[@dejanrancic7409]

@@fortynights1513 True. For me back then Utah was Stockton and Malone. They had other players, but you'd expect Jazz to sink or swim based on the two of them.

[@c99kfm]

@@fortynights1513 It's one thing when coaching says 3s only if nothing else works, and you only have one solid offensive player - it's not hard to guess there's probably a pass coming, and where it's probably going, yet Malone still scored a career average of 25 PPG, because you couldn't be sure if, when or how the Stockton-Malone pass was coming. With two equally probable passing options and a directive to go for 3s, predicting what Stockton's doing and stopping it will not be nearly as easy as it wasn't.

[@deviousnate7238]

Glad to see the inclusion of my guy Hayward! I kind of think that the basketball gods punished him for leaving Utah. If he never breaks the leg I think he's probably got another couple all-star selections.

[@bradyblakeslee41]

At the end of all of this it would be great to do an analysis of how you think each team will do, in depth and projected record and everything

[@DHGamerMR]

Really loving this series so far. Big kudos for going through the history of all these teams to put these together. Utah would be a very solid team in the Ultimate NBA, and they could very well make the playoffs. The Jazz were always tough to beat in the Stockton-Malone-Eaton era, and adding Pistol Pete and Adrian Dantley means they would have some serious firepower when the starting five are on the floor. Good to see some love for Hornacek here as a rotation player too. He might not be at the level of the rest of the backcourt ahead of him, but I feel like he's a bit underrated as a solid and reliable shooter from an era that wasn't as focused on 3 point shots as the modern NBA.

[@michaelsloane9955]

This starting lineup has really good balance. You have Malone being the dominant finisher and inside scorer, Dantley providing moves and mid range scoring, and Stockon and Maravich providing the ball handling, passing, and 3 point shooting. This lineup is perfect for Eaton because with those other 4 guys on the floor it doesn't matter that Eaton isn't much of a scorer and he can focus on what's best at and that's rim protection and shot blocking on the defensive end. Gobert is the perfect backup for Eaton. Hornacek is a perfect is a perfect end of the bench guy for situations in which you need more 3 point shooting. (Down 3 with a few seconds left, down 14 and need to seek 3s to get back in it etc.) This team doesn't have as much talent as the top teams in the Ultimate team west but the strong roster construction with pieces that fit together and the completeness of this team would make them a playoff team. The Lakers would easily be the 1 seed. Then, I see the Warriors, Rockets, Spurs as the 2-4 seeds. I'm thinking the Suns, Nuggets, Mavericks, and Jazz round out the playoff teams at 5-8 in some order. I'm not as big on the Thunder as some people might be. They're only in their 16th year of existence and while KD is awesome, I'm NOT a Westbrook guy at all and think Harden is somewhat overrated as well. Back to the Jazz though. Obviously, Malone, Stockton, and Maravich are all time greats and Eaton is an all time great at what he excelled at, but I think Dantley is EXTREMELY underrated, ESPECIALLY Utah Jazz Dantley. Dantley to me is a top 15 small foward of all time.

[@MalikDiene]

The Warriors. The greatest shooters with an all time rebounder in Wilt. KD with the iso in late game scenarios too.

[@G7M9W]

As a long-time Jazz fan, the only surprise here was that Griffith didn't make the team. That said, these are all excellent choices and a very good team. Along with Griffith, Okur is the other of your honorable mentions that I've often had on my all time Jazz roster (but I often add a "tenure with team" element, which would exclude Markkanen -- for the time being). If you bump the roster up to a 15-man NBA squad, adding those two is easy and includes the all very best of the franchise's entire history.

[@304Hibachi]

I have Memet Okur as my Jazz all time center which helps with 3 shooting too. Eaton is my back up all time Jazz Center. I respect him putting Eaton as the top tho too. The rest are same with exception of rotation players being Kyle Korver or Horneck, Thurl Baily and Darrel Griffith. I like most Jazz fans cant stand Gobert lol most but he is a beast defensively.

[@G7M9W]

@@304Hibachi Yeah, it hurts leaving Big T off the team, but since this a *best* all time, he's not making the cut. If we're talking about a best/tenure/fan favorite "all time team" he's easily there.

Now I'm imagining Jokic with Eaton defense But seriously tho 5.6 BPG is insane

Great choices, as a Jazz fan, you covered all the eras. It's a shame with all these talented players, the Jazz have never won a title. PS. Kirilenko is even more versatile than you describe him, he was famous for his 5x5 games (at least 5 in points, rebs, assists, steals and blocks in the same game!)

[@FAlynn92]

Kirilenko was an absolute swiss army knife, while being great on defense. It's amazing to see someone get 5 steals and 5 blocks in the same game. And he did all of this while never being the focal point of his teams, just a great complementary player.

[@letsgoooo9200]

This jazz team is deadly

[@alex4833]

Awesome video, Jonny :). A backcourt of Stockton and Maravich would be amazing. Combined with Dantley and Malone, they would be so hard to stop. Eaton was an incredible center and was so intimidating. The starting 5 is great. I remember Deron Williams and how he was on Team USA too. He was a great PG. I remember how there was the debate about whether he or Chris Paul was better, so I think he's an excellent choice for PG. Combined with Mitchell, they would be a solid backcourt also. The Jazz have a lot of great guards. Kirilenko was awesome too. He reminds of Eaton in his shotblocking (of course, Eaton's the better shotblocker, but AK 47 was a great shotblocker also, as you stated). I remember being amazed by his defense and he was decent offensively too. And, I agree, alongside Boozer and Gobert they'd be a tough front court to score on. Hornacek is a great rotation choice. He was ahead of his time with his shooting. I was a bit surprised to see Markkanen as a rotation player, but you make a great case about how his play style is different. I remember Hayward excelling before too. The Jazz have some solid rotation players and I like how balanced they are with offense and defense. It'd be so hard to score on them and they have plenty of firepower along with much depth. Great video :). Hope you're having a nice Saturday.

i got a suggestion for a series, each week you choose one top 15 all time player to build around, with the following rules maximum of 3 all stars per starting five (could be superstars or just normal all stars) maximum of 2 all defense players per team the other you gotta choose any roleplayer of your choosing your challenge is to build around that one top 15 player and enhance his skills and that would actually be extremely competitive together with any player from nba history with the rules predisposed

[@thescarfguy]

Still love the series

[@c99kfm]

Two more scoring options for Stockton, while retaining his premier assistants in Malone and Eaton? Yes, please. Good luck stopping the Mailman from delivering when there are two more threats defenses must keep in check, and you know darn well Stockton will make sure the ball gets where the defense is least prepared.

[@edwardtimothy3581]

it actually solid

[@sullir9397]

The problem with this type of project is that basketball always changes. For instance, in 80-90s ball, you probably start Eaton, 2014-and beyond, you have to go with Gobert because of his ability to run the floor. Gobert can also switch better than Eaton if that was the style of play dictated by the rules and the opponent's lineup. My other qual is that it was mentioned that the best player wouldn't necessarily be chosen for a lineup for chemistry reasons, yet the role players, like Karalinko aren't picked for the starting lineup. Malone and Pistol Pete are already enough of a one, two punch, and Stockton fills in the third option well enough. Karalinko has more value in the starting five imo because of his versatility.

[@dionysise5008]

When Mitchell got traded to the Cavs, I was like oh now it's gonna be hard to choose which team he belongs to

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

[@mickeylee2624]

I would go with Gobert and Kirilenko (truly all-around 2-way player) as starters. Honestly, with Maravich alone, Stockton-Malone would have their first true star 3rd wheel required of dynastic teams--making them competitive with even flashier all-time teams.

[@alejanoelallen1952]

I'm likely to have almost the same team, but a different rotation. I'm starting Bron at 1 and Jimmy at 3. My backup 5 would be Hardaway, Miller, Rice, Odom, and Zo. And then I'll bring Bam, Dragic, and Allen. I'm surprised Mike Miller didn't even get an honorable mention

Ricky Green was pretty damn good at what Stockton was doing before Stockton took his role, near the top of the league in steals and assists.

[@matthewschelle1829]

Do you think Dantley would have played well with Stockton/Maravich's tempo?

[@shavbobster33]

As a fan of this team for 36 years, I would agree with all your selections of the players. However I would make one change to the starting line up. I would put AK 47 as the starter. With all due respect for AD the ball would stick too much with Karl and Ad together. Also where AD scored most of his points was in the post. I think that Karl and AD would clog the paint too much. AK 47 would give the team more spacing, better ball movement, and better defense. I that if AK 47 played the small forward instead of the Byron Russell the Jazz might have beaten the Bulls in one of those series.

[@dionysise5008]

One could take Darell Griffith and move Mitchell to the Cavs. After all it seems he will play more years with them. Truck Robinson was also a monster of rebounding

[@JimBrave-ri1oc]

I think Jeff Malone was better than Haywood. Haywood only had about 2 good seasons in Utah then was disloyal and left. And RUINED HIS CAREER. I thought that was a very creepy move he made to go to Boston.

[@Time_Lapse_Master.]

@@JimBrave-ri1oc Haywood? You mean Gordon Hayward? Anyways his legacy is Utah is far from Top-15 but the fact that he could shoot, defend, rebound, create his own shot, pass, pretty much do everything on the court is pretty damn valuable for a person occupying the 11-13th roster spot

[@LightningStrike1212]

If you're picking players that would work well together, AK47 would be better in the starting lineup for his defense and role as a do-it-all glue guy. Plus he has a better 3 pt shot than Dantley, even though it's still not great. Dantley was known as a black hole on offense and played no defense. He'd be better as a spark plug off the bench.

[@ManEFresh]

The Utah Jazz, aka the Minnesota Vikings of basketball. A team that that will a decoration of regular season wins and high playoff seeding. This team is a balanced unit of every single thing you need. Offense, perimeter and interior defense, post movement, spacing, 3 point shooting, anything you need. They will definitely make the playoffs. But the problem is that they never won anything as a franchise. Home court advantage? Too bad, you'll probably lose that series anyways. Great bench? Invisible in playoff time. But they have Stockton and Malone you say. Well, they took 12 years just to even reach the Finals, which is insane for the amount of talent they had surrounding them. 2 Finals appearances? You'll just lose to MJ both times. A surprising WCF appearance in 2007 due to avoiding the Mavericks? Here's a well-oiled Spurs machine and Kobe in back to back years to ruin that. This team let the CLIPPERS reach a conference final. It's just maddeningly frustrating to see this franchise constantly choke over and over again. And it's why I have them as a first round exit despite the talent. See you for the Kings. Me ranting: I wouldn't feel that badly for them though considering their racist fanbase (not all of them, obviously) that rival Boston, ownership screwing over New Orleans and keeping the Jazz name despite it having nothing to do with Utah, Karl Malone getting a 13 year old pregnant...Do you notice I say all this as someone that should be indifferent towards the franchise? That's a problem.

[@JimBrave-ri1oc]

They've never had a dynamic full court player that can ge his own shots. Malone really needed Stockton to get open. They would've won thought had it been against anyone else other than Jordan. Had it been the Pacers they would've beat them. Jazz had one of the best defenses.

[@Tyson9682]

I know that he was only around for a season but TOM CHAMBERS was a Big deal. He scored the bucket that TIED the Assist Record for Stockton.

[@JimBrave-ri1oc]

Antoine Carr was a key reason why the Jazz made the Finals in both 97 and 98. His post up offense off the bench is what did it. He was a lot better than his stats. Though he probably won't make the all time Jazz team. He should make the bench on the Hawks all time team.

[@marcosmartinez8088]

man, this team is so great, all of their talent could have chemistry and play like a really great unit team under Sloan as a coach. The only problem to me for not consider them like top 5 of the best all time team is Dantley and Mitchell, they are ball stoppers, as soon as the ball is in their hands, they are going to shoot no matter what. Dantley costed Detroit a championship in 88 for that behavior, and the Lakers and Utah got rid of his ass for that too. I have watched like 3 or 4 full games of his, and he is not a team player, just like Knicks Melo. Mitchell is young, hope he will change.

[@TheHoodedSchmedlapp]

I’d take AK47 over Dantley for the first unit. As great of a pure scorer as Dantley was, he was a ball stopper that had no interest in playing defense. As beautiful as the ball movement of that back court would be, it takes but one ball hog to ruin it. AK would make the right play by not trying to do too much. Dantley would be a great scorer for the second unit, especially in the half court when the game slows down. I’d also take Milsap over Boozer because of his defense. Overall, this is one of the sneaky teams in the West.
