While last night’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans exposed some of the Utah Jazz’s readily apparent warts (redundant at Point Guard and Center, lack of one on one scorer aside from Donovan, tendency to play down to competition), it also showed off one of Utah’s strengths since the All-Star break: their depth. Utah’s bench has been absolutely fantastic in the six games after the break. This is incredibly good news for a Jazz bench that struggled early on in the season and had many questioning if Utah truly had good depth.
In the past 6 games, the Jazz’s bench has been shooting an NBA 6th best 39% from three.
