The Utah Jazz Are FINESSING THE NBA

Why is no one talking about the Jazz?

[@sgrey9181]

If the Jazz win a chip in 2-3 years, which they have a decent chance of doing, it just might be the most legendary rebuild in NBA history

[@MikeJones-fz2mt]

😂😂hell naw

[@blablablaa14]

And who is the guy who leads them there? Cause Lauri is no Giannis or Lebron and will never be. They still need a superstar to compete and no one is coming to play in Utah by choice

[@fyks669]

but lauri is top top tier 2nd option and doesnt affect first option play because his low usage rate@@blablablaa14

[@Jose-st3fq]

@@blablablaa14they need to either trade for one of those superstars with their 14 picks or hope one of those picks turns into one of those guys, I’m a jazz fan and I’m ecstatic with this rebuild but I think 2-3 years is a little quick for a championship probably more like 4-5

[@abscinding]

2-3 years is crazyyyyyyy lmaoooooo. Theyre definitely building something special, and this is only their first year drafting when starting the rebuild.

[@matthewjamestaylor]

Jazz fan here. I like the direction this team is heading. Win or lose, last year, this team was fun to watch and they were competitive in every game. The Jazz are currently very horizontal. Way too many rotation level players. They need to convert those many into one top tier player and I don't think that move (Luka) is on the horizon yet. If the Jazz don't suffer any major injury problems this year they could win 41 and make the play-in. Go Jazz. Cheers.

[@brentburnett6658]

The jazz can win more then 41 games if healthy. True of all teams as injuries matter but jazz have depth to overcome that obstacle

[@6manYT]

I agree, I dont mind that for the Jazz though because as of now they're still trying to figure out how good guys like Ochai, Hendricks and George will be and im sure once they know they'll be able to determine who and what to give up for a star.

[@Woody13woodpecker]

Danny, once again, did a great job! The WC has many good to great teams, established such as the Nuggets, Suns, LAL, LAC, GSW potential such as Pelicans, Grizzlies, Volwes, Kings Probably emerging as the Jazz and OKC ... The only teams that are tanking are the Spurs and Portland , I don't even know where to put the Mavs, Rockets ! So, getting into the play+inn should be great success in my book for the Jazz, the altitude and the home crowd could help, but realistically, next season should be the breakthrough, when the rookies settle down, and the rotations are established. Good luck though, I love teams that are grown organically!

[@jeffreymiller9247]

The jazz were betting prop gods and had you wanting to watch them play because they were so fun and competitive

[@crazynweird3547]

[@IHadToMakeThisAccount]

Lauri has always had this quality of play in him, the bulls really stifled his development.

[@JacobStone-cx3mg]

True, he is a beast!

[@aquatazer]

I’ve been a believer in the Jazz since they made that Markennen trade, it’s honestly insane how good some of the rebuilds around the league are going. Portland now has a great start with Scoot and Ayton; Detroit has Cade, Ausar, Durin and more; the Spurs have been making quiet trades the past couple seasons and now have a good core with Wemby; and the Thunder are probably going to be a top seed in the West this season because of their insane rebuild. Crazy stuff.

[@malooch]

And Laurie went and did his military service for Finland in the off season. That’s a bad dude right there.

[@blablablaa14]

I hope you know his "Military Service" was basically making coffee and running errands in the time he wasn't working out (Cause they give him a lot of time off to work out). Athletes in the military are not normal people in the military. Also Finland has never been in a war, its not involved in a war now, and the US military basically protects 99% of european countries because they don't have real militaries. So it was a chill summer for him outside of one haircut

[@malooch]

@@blablablaa14 I hope you know Finland was absolutely involved in the war in Afghanistan from 02-21 as well as Iraq and service is far more involved than getting coffee and a haircut if you do like 4 mins of research but thanks for your moronic lesson in geopolitics.

[@CorporalCookie]

​@@blablablaa14Yeeeaaah... Besides that the athletes do get flex for their sports, he did quite a bit more than "make coffee".

[@mikaeki5245]

​@@blablablaa14 Well that was a big load of 💩. You trolling?

[@magicofshootingstar]

@blablablaa14 And I hope you know your comment is totally uninformed. 😂 First of all: Finland has never been in war? If you count out the wars we participated as a part of Sweden and part of Russia way back when and also count out our civil war, there is still little things called world wars. In first one there were only some Finns participating but in the second one we fought Russia twice when they tried to occupy us. Oh and in the end we did fight Germans too, to get them out of our country as a part of the peace treaty with Russia. So yes, we have had war in our own soil and yes, there are still people alive who participated on that. That's more that you can say if you are from USA as I assume. Yes, we are not in a war now but we live next to Russia, so we are always prepared. We just applied to NATO too, so don't go throwing of USA is protecting us to our face either. We know well enough that we need to protect ourselves and NATO will only be deterrent for Russia to not attack. Our military is very good in many ways (size of reserve and equipment for example) compared to the population of our country. And that leads to the second part: that's why we have mandatory military service so everyone will know what to do if worst comes worse. Yes athletes like Lauri have their perks like world cup counting towards their service time as an "exercise" eg. sports commands. Rest assured though that rest of the time he was in shooting range, crawling in forest and also sleeping there (he told how he slept some nights only head in the tent because he wanted to give some room for the other guys too in small tent 😂), marching and doing all the other bootcamp stuff Finnish conscripts do. It's true that after all that training he had time in the evening to do basketball training too, but most guys in the Finnish military for most of the nights have "evening leave" to go to military cafe or even to the city if the military unit is close enough to some city. If you are still convinced that Lauri didn't do anything, here is one more funny tidbit: when troops from USA come to train with soldiers from Finland they always say that conscripts in Finland who have served one year are on same skill level than guys from USA military that have served three years. That's because our military training is much more intense and condensed and specialised to get the conscripts through it as smoothly with as much useful skills as possible. So if Lauri served half a year I would say that logically correlates maybe to being around 1,5 years in US military.

[@birger937]

I like that this is a great base for a team to grow organically into a contender. Let them play together for 2-3 years, make 1-2 additions that fit and see who emerges as Championship Caliber players. I'm high on the Jazz, great vid!

[@flip-antonio8425]

Great video man! I really think people are sleeping on the current and future Jazz. This team is absolutely loaded with talent and picks. I just think Lauri and Kessler are pure bread winners-they make so many winning plays on the floor. Like you, I fully believe Lauri can get even better and be a top 10 player-hopefully he watches some Dirk highlights and gains some of that mid range isolation from Dirk. Can’t wait to see what they can do! Also, Coach Hardy is literally the perfect coach for this team.

[@SabrinaRoseLewis]

It's hilarious that because he's white of course he has to work on dirk moves lol That's how far you and the dikhed that made this videos "insight" into basketball goes... About as far as a 10 year olds mindset

[@adolfBBC]

I'd love to see them pick up a star or two once they've sorted out their young players to keep. They could do some serious damage if they bring in a forward + backup to Kessler.

[@SeizedM0ney]

I remember being upset that the bulls gave up on lauri after seeing him become more efficient in his last year there and averaging 18 in his second season then to see him play just as well on a new team in year one but to become one of the better scorers in the league is crazy. Glad the jazz let him hoop.

[@merrylderrickson3147]

I think Kessler's most impressive skill is his hand-eye coordination. They are as strong and quick as they are soft. I have a feeling he's soon going to be bombing threes sooner than rather than later.

[@mikaeki5245]

Appreciate the video. Jazz is a fun team to watch. Not many egotistic players, hope they do well.

[@Tahitison]

Man great video, I'm a jazz fan, have been my whole life, and this has reignited my excitement for them as no one seems to be talking about them. I realize they aren't necessarily an immediate threat but this should be a fun season to watch how guys are developing and what weapons we will be sharpening for deep playoff runs or solid trade options for a star.

[@xotwodkiel]

lauri, hendricks, kessler will be insane. so much length and it doesn’t sacrifice spacing for it.

[@6manYT]

Just need Lauri to make that playmaking jump and that's a dangerous trio.

Great analysis, I think this NBA season is going to be fun to watch has the have nots now have up and coming Stars. The league is is pairing up and your doing a great job highlighting it.

[@thamor4746]

Good video. I think this season will make Jazz again talk of the season as they will shock a lot of teams once again like they did last season, where people were selling the narrative of them being bad and tanking on purpose.

[@tomix3568]

I appreciate this video a lot. As a Jazz fan, I've been a little preoccupied with the current mess they have going on at the guard spots. The preseason hasn't exactly been encouraging in that respect. But this video reminds me how bright their future can be.

[@6manYT]

I think the guard spot is a bit of a lottery atm, they definitely have the talent but this year might be a bit rough just trying to figure out who works best. Once they do though, Lauri and Kessler are there for another 8 years and you guys are a top seed again

[@JacobStone-cx3mg]

Great to see these teams like Utah and Portland getting rid of their Stars that didn't want to be on the team anymore but were able to get great assets for them.

[@Jose-st3fq]

I’m a jazz fan, calling lauri top 10 is a stretch I’d say more top 15-20

[@landobreezy2k55]

The jazz are in a position a lot of teams have been in like the Nuggets and the suns they can either gather a team made of well draft picks and develop them into straight contenders or utilize their assets to make a blockbuster trade for a superstar and become contenders basically they have all the leverage to either turn into a win now or win later team

[@AM-dl7ot]

Kessler just turned 22, he's going to get stronger, faster and more skilled. He can really be something special, if he uses his talent.

[@abscinding]

The jazz have been my favorite team to constantly rebuild in 2k. The Jazz have already done an absolutely excellent job of rebuilding while not even bottoming out. Nobody batted an eye when Kessler was in the Gobert trade and hes already showing he can be VERY good as a starting center. Keyontae George could potentially ve a steal, as well as just having a great first draft in general in Hendricks and Sensabaugh. Lauri popped off. John Collins no matter how it goes was such a great value trade. Ochai is a sleeper pick i feel, that nobody is really talking about, and this past year was only their FIRST year. They still have many more years to go with extra picks. Very excited for how this team can turn out 4-5 years from now.

[@5bluesharks]

Jazz is fun to watch. Their lineup is versatile and complete. They just need to add strong wing players to defend the best players from the opposing team.

[@jordanjenkins1671]

The Jazz organization is really good at recruiting talent through the draft, but it's also about getting chemistry between those talents. Hopefully we can create a team to accomplish our dreams of winning the NBA Finals someday if not with this team.

[@pitahe]

Don't forget, we got Och and Lauri in the Donovan trade 🥶

[@ssam1337]

Im excited for the up coming season. As a Fin soon as Lauri was traded to Utah Ive started to support Utah. Team looks promising and alot of potential to exceed expectations. To be honest its very different to watch Markkanen than any other star in the league. Missed 3 and turnovers makes me want to swear. If has a good game then first its "can you repeat that sir?" in my mind. I know its harsh but Im guessing that its because I really enjoy when game goes well and want him to succeed in the NBA. None of the other NBA players gets such cold treatment from me, but it comes from a good place. Rest of the team is full of players who can play good ball and can surprise anyone. Im guessing that consistensy to play good games one of the keys for the next season and less turnovers. Watched few matches last season when ball handing and passing seemed to be a joke or something. When saw Hardys face not trying to yell at everyone I felt that pain. There are great teams in east and west for the next season so its going to be a real challenge for everyone. I wish the very best for the entire Utah Jazz organization and hope that playoffs is one of the main goals for the next season. P.S. I was inspired to write this when I saw that 40% 3 pointers stat... had to check it out and it was 39.2%. Which is really good still but maybe next year another over 40%. GL&HF

[@magicofshootingstar]

If I remember correctly 3 pointers were over 40% but in the last part of the season when Lauri was clearly banged up his procents dropped and dipped the whole year total. Also he didn't shoot well at all at the start of the season. So most parts of the season he was 40, 50, 88 or something similar for the whole season. Not really crossing the 40, 50, 90 but close.
