SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz didn’t make it to the second round of the NBA playoffs this year for the first time in three years, but that doesn’t mean the Jazz haven’t been well-represented in the second round. In the just-concluded conference semifinals, seven former Jazzmen were still playing, several in significant roles.
Now four of those players will be moving on to the conference finals and at least one is guaranteed of playing in the finals.
It’s quite a turnaround for those four — Milwaukee’s George Hill, Golden State’s Jonas Jerebko and Portland’s Enes Kanter and Rodney Hood.
