11. Utah Jazz
Heading into the 2018-19 season, many expected the Utah Jazz to be one of the top tier teams in the Western Conference. A slow start had people taking back their predictions, but as of late, the Jazz are getting this train back on the rails.
Donovan Mitchell made his name known last year when he erupted in the playoffs and he is picking up where he left off. Mitchell is averaging 22.4 and continues to show off his insane athleticism.
The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert, may have not been named to the All-Star game this season, but he is still playing at an elite level. Gobert is posting 15.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while anchoring one of the league’s best defensive teams.
Utah is sitting at sixth place in the West and will have to work hard to remain in this spot. However, as this team grows stronger together they will certainly be a tough matchup for any opponent they face.
