I expect him to play plenty of minutes this season Entering his eighth season, Beasley has the chance to remedy a not-so-pretty off the court image and prove to the league that he’s an impactful player. Malik Beasley: Attempting to trade Malik Beasley at this point would simply be a poor business decision on Utah’s part.The 30 year old stands as one of Utah’s most important veterans and will surly be a hot commodity come the trade deadline.

Jordan Clarkson: Similarly to Conley, if a trade that included Jordan Clarkson was to happen this offseason, it would have happened already.Markkanen has the potential to be a part of Utah’s next contending core, or at the very least, a part of a future trade.

Lauri Markkanen: Much like Colin Sexton, this upcoming season stands as a perfect opportunity for Markkanen to prove why he was worth the seventh pick in the 2017 Draft.

Nonetheless, he’s the closest Utah’s got to a potential star (at least for now). At only 23 years old and coming off a knee injury, Sexton has a lot to prove this season.

Collin Sexton: Sexton has a strong argument for standing as the player with the most potential on this Utah roster.

At this point, he’ll likely start at point guard for Utah on day one. The 34 year old has a perfect opportunity to help build positive team culture and possibly play himself into a trade by the All-Star break.

Mike Conley: The market on a potential Mike Conley deal this offseason has long closed.

Taking into account talent, contract situations, and trade value, these are the player’s I’d consider a lock-in: This group of players are almost a guarantee to be on Utah’s roster by the time the season starts.

So, let’s tack a crack at predicting the Utah Jazz’s final roster for October 17th: The Lock-ins I’ll provide my reasoning for each players’ placement. Furthermore, We’ll split the predictions into three categories: (1) The Lock-ins, (2) On the bubble, and (3) Just Missed the Cut. Currently, Johnny Juzang stands as Utah’s sole two-way player and given the unpredictability of two-way contracts, we will exclude those two spots from our predictions. In 10 days, the Jazz must dwindle that number down to the regular season maximum of 15 slots, with two additional two-way contracts that bounce between the NBA and G-League. As it stands, the Utah Jazz have twenty active players on their roster, the maximum an NBA team can carry during the offseason.
