The Utah Jazz‘s starting five and overall rotation for next season’s roster is gradually becoming clearer following their blockbuster splash for Jaren Jackson Jr. at the trade deadline.
Keyonte George and Ace Bailey are set to command the backcourt, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Walker Kessler will man the starting frontcourt, and a mix of young contributors and veterans will fill out the bench to make for a quality rotation that can start to really make noise in the rest.
But in that second unit and down the bench, there’s a lot for the Jazz that remains up in the air and undecided as to who will be the ones that fill out the group. That inevitably makes the last 26 games of Utah’s season following the All-Star break noticeably impactful when deciding between those who might be on the edge to make that final cut.
With that in mind, here’s a batch of three players on the Jazz’s roster who will be fighting to keep their spot on next year’s team in the final few weeks of the season.
