It’s weird to think about given the fact that they’re currently sitting at home watching other teams play basketball, but the 2017-18 edition of the Utah Jazz was probably the best squad to come out of Salt Lake City in a decade. One could even make the argument that the Jazz were the third best team in the Western Conference.
You know what’s weirder? The fact that none of it would’ve happened without Trey Lyles.
Seriously.
Lyles is a lot of things to Jazz fans and most of them aren’t good. He’s the guy that was picked instead of Devin Booker, who’s now one of the NBA’s most electrifying scorers.
