By every definition, it was a roller coaster season for the Utah Jazz. Even with the departure of Gordon Hayward, expectations were high entering the year. The Jazz started off strong and looked like they may be able to live up to the hype they were receiving entering the year. However, injuries quickly altered the course of the season, and they fell to 19-28 by mid-January.
We all know what happened from there. The return of a healthy Rudy Gobert and the improved play of Ricky Rubio saved the season for the Jazz.
