Utah Jazz Best/Worst Case Series: What will Ekpe Udoh’s role be?

One of the luxuries the Utah Jazz benefit from game in and game out is the fact that they can have a rim protector on the floor at all times, which is a big reason why their defense is so incredible. Between Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, who starts at power forward but often backs up Rudy at center as well, the Jazz have a staunch front line that defends the rim relentlessly.

But even if one of those two goes down to injury or if they simply need to be spelled off in the rotation, the opposing rim remains in capable hands for the Jazz.
