When the NBA season was suspended, I started brainstorming some ideas for articles and my first thoughts drifted towards making an all-time list, ranking the top players that have worn a Utah Jazz jersey.
However, I quickly realized that list has been written out numerous times already. I wanted to do something new. That’s when I thought of a similar idea with a slight twist: A list of the best Jazz players whose numbers aren’t enshrined inside Vivint Smart Home Arena.
When deciding who to add, my criteria was simple:
- No players with retired numbers allowed
- Only their Jazz tenure matters, not their entire career
Let’s begin.
