Tony Bradley and Ed Davis

Team: Utah Jazz

Current Record: 41-23

Playoff Position: Fourth in Western Conference (Clinched Playoff Spot)

The Utah Jazz feature a duo of former Tar Heel centers on their current roster. The duo will look to help the Jazz make a deep run into this year’s postseason.

Utah has already clinched their playoff berth. However, as they only have a one-game lead on the OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets, the playoff seeding will give the Jazz something to play for to end the regular season.

In his third professional season, Tony Bradley has taken on a bigger role on this Jazz team. After appearing in just 12 games over his first two NBA seasons, Bradley has played in 50 games this season. Known as more of a defensive-minded player, the 22-year-old was averaging 4.7 points-per-game and 4.3 rebounds-per-game.

Ed Davis hasn’t seen as much action as Bradley. The 30-year-old has appeared in just 25 games in his first season with the Jazz, but could be called upon in a bench role in certain situations.

The Western Conference is full of competitive teams, and the Jazz are in a position where they could possibly make a deep playoff run.
