Does Derrick Favors Solve Utah’s Problems?

In July of 2019, the Utah Jazz added Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic to their already very good team. Expectations were high, optimism abounded, and fans couldn’t wait for the season to start.

That season has now come and gone, and... well, how better to describe it than as a roller coaster ride? Mike Conley struggled for much of the season, the bench showed a shocking lack of depth, and star players’ effort waxed and waned. One thing became very clear; this Utah Jazz team had some legitimate issues.

Skip forward to today, and the Jazz have essentially retained the same core team, with one exception, the addition of former Jazz-man and fan favorite, big man Derrick Favors.
