Get Better Offensively

The Utah Jazz have one of the best defenses in the entire NBA. After the NBA trade deadline, they were the best defense in the league by a wide margin. However, even though they play defense really well enough to secure easy victories but that doesn’t always go according to plan.

The offense hasn’t caught up to the defense quite yet and it’s holding this team’s full potential back. With the defensive philosophies already put into place, Utah needs to find a way to get more points from their players. If this team doesn’t improve on their offense, they won’t make it to the playoffs no matter how good their defense is.

They need at least two 20-point scorers to make life easier. Watching the way that Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward have played in the preseason it would be a safe bet that they’d be the two to do it.
