<p>Offence for the Jazz isn’t the problem its their defence which is killing them. They are ranked 14th in the league with a rating of 106.8. All of their starters are averaging double figures with Gordan Hayward leading the way with 18.9 ppg. They have talented guards in Alec Burks and Trey Burke who are averaging 13.5 and 11.3 respectively.</p> <p>Their defence has been atrocious and their ranked 29th in the league with a rating of 112.5. Getting timely stops or any stops is something that this squad simply can’t do.O ne reason could is they are just getting used to a rookie coach in Quin Snyder and his defensive system. This team has the potential to be a solid team but they just need their young guys to develop. They went .500 for the past week so it will be interesting to see how they can build on the victories.</p>. 8-20. . Utah Jazz. 26. team. 118
