The Utah Jazz's offense has looked dreadful, but it's not like they're getting bad looks. In fact, most of their problems can be attributed to bad luck. They are simply missing their wide-open threes.
Writer Matt John argues that the Utah Jazz's offensive struggles during their 1-7 start are largely driven by poor shooting luck rather than a flawed offensive system. The Jazz currently hold the NBA's second-worst offensive rating at 103.9 points per 100 possessions, despite generating quality looks for key players including Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, and Ace Bailey.
Citing data reported by The Salt Lake Tribune's Shreyas Laddha, John notes Utah is shooting just 27.6% from three-point range. While acknowledging injuries to Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic, the writer asserts that Utah possesses capable shooters like Brice Sensabaugh and Josh Green, suggesting the team's shooting slump should eventually normalize.
