Jazz Basketball History

The Utah Jazz have been on the brink of being a successful franchise for years leading up to the most recent seasons. With six straight playoff appearances from 2016-2022 but none making it past the second round, the team was looking for ways to break past their first and second-round exits. Unfortunately for the Jazz, their playoff window slammed shut in the 2022-23 season as the team traded away their two best players, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, both players went on to star for other teams. The team's record went from 49-33 with Mitchell and Gobert, to 37-45 in the next season. The hole these two stars left was clear and the Jazz entered a rebuild. In the 2023-24 season, the Jazz had a record of 31-51 and a 12th-place finish in the West. The team had a decent offense, ranked 17th in the league but had the worst defense in the NBA resulting in a net rating of -4.9. The team's struggles were clear and their need for talent is greater than ever. 

In the regular season, the Jazz saw the most contributions from Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, and Jordan Clarkson. Markkanen played his first season for the Jazz in 2022 after coming over from the Bulls. In his second season he took a small step back dropping his scoring from 25.6 points to 23.2 points per game, while still a solid performance, the Jazz will need Markkanen to return to his peak. Clarkson has played for three different teams in his 13-year career and spent the last six years with the Jazz. With the Jazz, he has been a solid player but is aging and his production has been dropping. He peaked with 20.8 points per game and in the 2023-24 season, he averaged 17.1 points per game. John Collins came to the Jazz from the Atlanta Hawks and has been solid for the Jazz as he averaged 15.1 points per game. The Jazz are in between having a young roster and having veterans still producing. The team is not getting top production from veterans like Jordan Clarkson and young players like Keyonte George or Kenneth Lofton Jr are not progressing fast enough to be competitive. The Jazz and their front office are in a difficult position and will have to decide what they want the future of the franchise to look like. The team will have to make acquisitions to win now, or commit to the rebuild and release older players. The team has the potential to build a strong roster but will have to make difficult decisions to return to their winning ways.

In 2023, the Jazz found themselves with an overall record of 37-45. This was not the improvement that the team hoped to see. The slide to 12th place was a surprise to fans. Their new head coach, Will Hardy, replaced Quin Snyder. The team lost Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Still, the team had a great start to the season, jumping seven games above .500 in the first 13 games. From there, the team struggled. They won just 27 more games this past season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Rick Higgins was hired as an assistant coach on June 8, 2023.  

The 2022-23 season is sure to be great for the Utah Jazz. Building upon their 49-33 record is the goal. The Jazz hopes to go beyond the first round of the NBA Playoffs this upcoming season. They bowed out of the playoffs in round one, losing the series to Dallas.

Utah Jazz was founded in 1974 as the New Orleans Jazz. After five seasons in New Orleans, the Jazz moved to Utah and kept the name, despite requests to change it. Even though they have never won the NBA Championship, the Utah Jazz has been one of the NBA's most successful teams since moving to Utah in 1979. Jazz has won its division eight times- 1984, 1989, 1992, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2007, and 2008. Those Jazz teams of the 80s and 90s featured the duo of John Stockon and Karl Malone, one of the most successful and well-known player-to-player tandems in the history of American sports. Stockton and Malone were a part of the two Jazz teams in the late 90s that made it to the NBA Finals and lost to the Chicago Bulls.

Right now, the Jazz is in the midst of a rebuilding phase, and they have a pretty good idea of what they are doing. Last year the Jazz selected Dante Exum from Australia in the lottery. Rodney Hood and Jarnell Stokes are two other names to keep an eye on in the coming years as well.

The Utah Jazz had an okay, but successful 2015-2016 season, by their standards. They are a young team that is trending up. The Jazz finished the season with a record of 40-42, just narrowly missing the playoffs by one game. The team held the 12th selection overall but traded for George Hill from the Pacers. After the draft, they had a very quiet offseason, and their keynote was signing veteran guard Joe Johnson for depth. The team decided to rely on the continued development of their youthful players. So far this season that plan has worked, as they currently stand with a record of 40-24, good for the fourth seed in the Western Conference. They are the surprise team of the league this season.

The Utah Jazz had a solid season a year ago, finishing in the playoff hunt in the Western Conference. After needing seven games to beat the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in round one, the Jazz was run out of the playoffs in four games in round two.

For the draft, the team had a pair of first-round choices, in spots 24 and 30. They used the first pick on small forward Tyler Lydon from Syracuse and the second on shooting guard Josh Hart from Villanova. In free agency, the team lost franchise player, small forward Gordon Hayward, and did not make any free agent signings of their own. Jazz fans will now sit back and see what direction the franchise takes going forward.

While nobody was paying attention, the Utah Jazz has quietly built a very solid roster. After narrowly missing out on the playoffs in 2016, the Jazz won the Northwest Division in 2017 and was the five seed in the Western Conference. The following year they were the fifth seed again, although this time they finished third in their division. Last season, they finished third in the Northwest yet again and were the five seed for a third-straight season. However, they can’t seem to get past the first two rounds right now.

Thanks to the Mike Conley trade, the Jazz were without their 2019 first-round draft choice. Also, they did nothing in free agency, so that means they intend to ride their roster as is for now. The star is shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, who is averaging 24.7 points per game so far this season. Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 21.3 points per game so far. Center Rudy Gobert is a double-double machine and is averaging 15.3 points per game to go along with 14.5 rebounds per game. Small forward Joe Ingles is averaging 11 points per game off the bench. The Jazz is a solid team right now, but unless they make some serious changes, they are not going to get over the hump.
