5. Utah Jazz
Talk about a complete team! By trading for Mike Conley, the Utah Jazz climbed both our 2k rankings and the actual odds to win the NBA Finals.
Donovan Mitchell is another “made for 2k” type of player who you can go and get a bucket with whenever. Having him partnered with Conley should make the Jazz offense a blast to run.
Bojan Bogdanovic and Joe Ingles both offer a ton of shooting and on the defensive end, there isn’t a better rim protector than Gobert. I highly recommend just playing him on defense and patrolling the paint.
The surprise player on this team is Jeff Green. Everyone knows him as one of the most consistently inconsistent players in the NBA, but for 2k, he’s amazing. He has solid size and speed and can knock down shots while also occasionally getting those poster dunks. Perhaps his rating takes another hit in 2k this season, but if the past years are anything to go off, Green is a hidden gem in game.
Fans should prepare to see a lot of Utah online as experienced players will be able to utilize the well-rounded roster.
