Jazz must unleash Kyle Filipowski as Walker Kessler reality sinks in

The Utah Jazz caught a pretty bad break early on in the season when they lost Walker Kessler. It makes sense that they opted to have Jusuf Nurkic start in his place, as he's the closest they have to a traditional center archetype. However, because the Jazz have absolutely nothing to lose, now is the time for them to unleash Kyle Filipowski.

Filipowski hasn't been as good as the Jazz would have liked following a pretty exciting rookie season, but he has proven himself to be a threat even if the box score hasn't shown it.
