When Rudy Gobert declared, “We got this” back in January, the Jazz were more than a few games under .500 and the outlook for the season looked bleak. Fast forward to the last weekend of the regular season and the Jazz are 14 games over .500 and have clinched a playoff berth following a win over the Lakers. Donovan Mitchell is one of the best young players in the league, and the Jazz are a fearsome team that is on the verge of locking up home court in the first round of the playoffs. Tell the rest of the league to watch out.
