Utah Jazz On/Off Numbers

This has been a bizarre season. In many ways, the #1 seed from last year was a mirage. They had a perfect regular-season team that vanished once they hit the playoffs, albeit for the second year in a row where crucial contributors were injured. The off-season moves were designed to strength their post-season chances, but we've seen more turbulence this regular season than we have since the pre-Donovan Mitchell days. So what can the on/off numbers tell us?

All numbers are through 3/30.

Utah Jazz (45-31)

OffRtg: 116.1 /  DefRtg: 110.4 / NetRtg: +5.7

They are still #1 in offense and #4 in NetRtg, but they are now down to #12 in defense. Five-game losing streaks will do that to you. I'm doing the players who've played at least 500 total minutes.

Rudy Gobert

Off - 116.6 / 114.4 / +2.2

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

On - 133.6 / 135.9 / -2.3

A few things just from this. The Jazz bench misses Joe Ingles more than we really know. He was one of the leading voices on this team and he could keep the defense together. He was also a key part of the lineup when Conley/Gobert come back in at the end of first and third quarters. Juancho and NAW could be contributors next year, but the time they are getting is due to injuries. I was surprised that Royce O'Neale winds up being a wash.
