With the NBA regular season less than a week away from tipping off, SB Nation’s Mike Prada tackled a whopping 100 questions that he says will define the season.
Four of the questions have to do with the Utah Jazz:
No. 65 — Can Rudy Gobert clean everything up for the Utah Jazz defensively?
No. 51 — How will Mike Conley’s game change playing alongside Donovan Mitchell?
No. 31 — What does Quin Snyder’s system look like with elite shooters and secondary playmakers?
No. 27 — Is Donovan Mitchell actually a star?
Three other questions concern individuals with local ties:
No. 77 — Will Jim Boylen let the Bulls run?
No. 49 — How does Kyle Kuzma fit on this Lakers team?
No. 23 — What can Damian Lillard possibly do for an encore?
Prada’s No. 1 question: Is this still LeBron James’ league, or has it passed him by?
