1 roto title · 52 seasons (1974-75–2025-26) · NOJ → UTH → UTA
Across 52 seasons, exactly one season has ended with the Utah Jazz as Roto Champ: 1983-84. That was 42 seasons ago, and it remains the only time the franchise has topped the standings. Their average finish is 13.5 all time, against 17.1 over the last ten seasons, a step down from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Karl Malone in 1996-97, worth a 13.9 z-score. He owns 14 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Worth knowing before you read the All-Franchise Team below: Al Jefferson rates above a player who made it, and missed only because the center slots were full.
