Charlotte Hornets: 3 trade deadline landing spots for Marvin Williams
Utah Jazz
With the trade deadline approaching, I could see the Utah Jazz going after their former forward that spent two seasons with them. As a member of the Jazz, Williams averaged 8.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
The Jazz currently lack depth at the power forward spot, and Williams could be a valuable option for them. Williams would be a better option for the Jazz over Tony Bradley in the frontcourt.

Since he was with the Jazz between 2012-2014, Williams has improved his game in many areas; one of them being his three-point shooting. As a member of the Jazz, he made138 three-pointers, and since leaving, he’s made 677 threes with the Hornets.
The Jazz are currently the 6th ranked team in the league in made threes per game with 12.9. Adding Williams would significantly improve their bench’s three-point shooting.
Since Williams has also proved to be an impactful starter in the past, he could even be used in Utah’s starting lineup if any injuries occur.
The Jazz are currently the second-ranked team in the Western Conference standings with a record of 31-13. Joining Utah would allow Williams to receive more playing time, and he could significantly help them as they try to make a deep run in the playoffs.
