When Quin Snyder initially took over as Utah Jazz head coach back in 2014, I thought his main calling card would be to juice up the Jazz offense.
Trey Burke couldn’t clear 40 percent from the field, Gordon Hayward struggled as a number one option, and the Jazz offense sputtered to finish 25th in the league. It was obvious the Jazz a new system to maximize the talent and potential of its young players.
I expected the Jazz to push the pace and jack up more three pointers the next season. Alec Burks and Dante Exum at the time had tantalizing potential as slashing guards, and there were talks of Enes Kanter transforming his game to become a stretch big.
