Utah Jazz (Chris Nicoll-USA TODAY Sports)
In a recent article outlining every NBA team’s most critical weakness, Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale referred to the Utah Jazz as “one wing short”. In fairness to Favale, the spirit of his article was to find a weakness with every NBA team. That’s a difficult proposition when it comes to the Jazz, as one of the deeper, more well-rounded teams across the Association.
Nonetheless, his article begged the question: Are the Utah Jazz short a wing?
To elaborate, Favale’s position was that, out of the wings that currently populate Utah’s rotation, only Royce O’Neale is a viable option to guard the NBA’s elite wing players.
