The ledger
Hayward, Gobert, Mitchell (2011–2022)2011–12 Utah Jazz
A lockout swallowed the front end of the season and the Jazz came back to work looking like a different franchise. This was the first season since 2000–01 that Andrei Kirilenko was not on the opening day roster, and the first full season since 2004–05 without Deron Williams. Jerry Sloan had retired the previous February.
