Before last night, the Utah Jazz hadn't gotten much out of Taylor Hendricks. That's not the most surprising development in the slightest after what he's been through, but what was disappointing is that Hendricks wasn't given much of a leash. The former No. 9 pick broke out last night in their loss to the Grizzlies, and in so doing, proved the Jazz made the right move to rest their veterans for the tank.
For context, Utah went up against Memphis without Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic, severely depleting their frontcourt and confirming their plans to go all in on getting a high lottery pick.
