The loss of Gordon Hayward meant that the Utah Jazz had to change. The Butler Bulldog had a career season in 2016/17 before leaving to join the Celtics in Boston. That left the door ajar for Joe Ingles, who was under no guarantee that he would get an increased role in Hayward's absence. The Jazz drafted Donovan Mitchell and also recruited Jonas Jerebko, two players who could have easily laid claim to the minutes being left behind.
