It took the Utah Jazz 30 games to realize that the bench unit that they had assembled going into the 2019-20 season was not going to cut it. Joe Ingles was underperforming in his bench role, Ed Davis had been extremely disappointing, and Jeff Green struggled with his shooting very much.
The Jazz were 17-12 going into the 30th game of the season. They were about to make a season-changing move. Shortly before tip-off in Miami on December 23rd, the Jazz acquired Jordan Clarkson in a trade with the Cavaliers.
