The Utah Jazz are in no-man's land again. While it's clear everyone's going to see what this team is truly made of over the next few weeks, they have come up victorious. However, what made last night's win over the Dallas Mavericks special is that they won while mostly playing their youth.
Many have questioned Utah for playing veterans like Jusuf Nurkic and Svi Mykhailiuk as much as they have this season, while players like Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, Taylor Hendricks, and Cody Williams all wait in the wings, needing development.
Well, it seemed as though the Jazz listened to the fanbase, as they rested Nurkic, slotting Filipowski into the center spot, while Mykhailiuk was a healthy scratch, slotting in Brice Sensabaugh as the two-guard.
