With the Jazz owning the best record in the NBA as All-Star voting opens, the team should be a candidate to have multiple players represented for the honor.
Guard Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert earned their first All-Star bids last season in Chicago, while both Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson should receive consideration due to their stellar play this season.
Jazz fans can vote for their favorite players in a handful of ways leading up to the February 16 deadline.
