Finally, a year where the Spurs get some decent props heading into the season.
I remember last year most people had the Spurs as a 5/6 seed in the West.

Yeah. I think the Nuggest can reach 5th seed at best but we will see.

Of course. As I insinuated, Nuggets being a top 3 seed is more likely than blazers being the worst team in the west, even if the West looks to be as competitive as ever.
Top 4 PF, top 7 SF and a ROY candidate doesnt look to project that low from an objective standpoint.

Hmmm.
10 votes in and only 1 person, a Jazz fan, has the Jazz making the playoffs.
I see them as low as #13 and as high as #8 in here.
Jazz have improved their team substantially from last year's team which went #8.
They moved Harris for Mo Williams. I don't know how much of an upgrade this is, but, it's obvious that the Jazz brass considered it an upgrade so I'm comfortable calling it an upgrade.
They added Marvin Williams. He'll be a large upgrade over the Josh Howard, CJ Miles, Demarre Carroll class of SFs we had last year. Should be worth a couple wins by himself.
They added Randy Foye. Not a world beater, but, certainly an upgrade over Raja Bell.
Didn't really lose much of note besided Harris.
Then you have Favors and Hayward moving in to their 3rd year, historically a time of strong improvement. Burks made a strong showing in summer league and looks ready to step up. And we hope a full training camp will help Kanter put a little polish on his game.
Lastly, the rookie coach is moving into his second year, his first full year.
I see a quietly improved team, I expect the Jazz will finish in the 4-8 range myself. Not the 8-13 range. I guess only time will tell, I'm just surprised how 9 of 10 of you folks see the Jazz as a lotto team.
Edit: make that 10 of 11.

They were #8 last year in what seemed like an overacheiving year. Minny probably would have taken #8 if not for the rubio injury, so assuming he is back, they look to be the better team esp. with Roy, Shved and AK added.
Of my top 8, who do you think they overtake? I guess I can see Dallas falling more. Personally I don't think Utah improved much and I can also see them moving Milsap or Jefferson at some point.
