The poor start in the first quarter hints to the Jazz not having starters of the quality of other teams in the NBA. The Jazz have better than averge quality in the 10-20 range, but look at Houston, we do not have a top 5 that matches Houston. A good draft and player development can fix this, but it will take a few years.
The Jordan Clarkson glaze on this episode is cringe
