While the Jazz won't make the playoffs, they can still take action to help their future.

The Jazz should consider extending Lauri Markkanen, who has been playing like a star and could be in line for another All-Star appearance.
The development of Keyonte George and Taylor Hendricks is crucial, with George showing promise and Hendricks possibly benefiting from more playing time in the G-League.
The Jazz should explore trading away veterans like John Collins and Jordan Clarkson, who may not fit the team's timeline, in exchange for good young players or assets.
