After the Utah Jazz missed the playoffs by just one game last year, a lot of the talk surrounding the team has been focused on how things have changed over the summer. The prevailing belief is that those changes will yield a better result — and a postseason return — in the season ahead.
While the biggest changes came via the addition of proven veterans George Hill, Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw, internal changes could play an equally large role in Utah’s transition to fringe playoff squad to a club fighting for a top four seed in the Western Conference.
