When the Utah Jazz signed Thabo Sefolosha to a two-year contract last summer, they knew they’d be adding a lengthy defensive presence on the wing. However, the 34-year-old didn’t just make an impact on the defensive end; he looked good in the Jazz’s offense as well.
After losing Sefolosha for the season due to knee surgery in January, my instant thought was: “what else could go wrong?” The Jazz were sitting at 17-25, already playing without their star center Rudy Gobert,and were looking like a team that would be Draft Lottery bound.
We all know what happened next.
