comparison to the Jazz. A better comparison would be the 2015-16 Spurs. Leonard was 24 yrs old and led the team in scoring at 21.2 pts per game. Most the rest of the core of the team was more veteran players. Aldridge was second on the team at 18 per game and then they had six guys between 7.1 and 11.9 per game.

That team ranked 4th in the league in offensive rating and 1st in defensive rating with a pt differential of over 10 per game in the west.

The Hawks for comparison were at 4th and 6th, with a pt differential of 5.4 in the eastern conference. The Phoenix Suns currently have a 5.4 pt differential in the west.

Based on pythagorean expected wins, the Hawks were probably more like a 56 win team and the Jazz are on pace to be about a 66 win team.
