The Utah Jazz could include Malik Beasley in a trade package

Denver Nuggets v Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz have surprised the entire NBA this season. So far, they have a record of 4-1, which ties them with the Portland Trailblazers as the top team in the Western Conference.

Before the season started, the Jazz were expected to have one of the worst seasons in the league. But they've clearly flipped the script so far and started off red-hot.

Malik Beasley is one of the big reasons for this achievement. The Florida State alum has been a huge help in putting points on the board for the team. In 24 minutes of playing time, he has made the most out of his time. Beasley is averaging 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and a steal while shooting for 42% from the field and a below-average three-point percentage of 33%.

Beasley has been a great role player this season and if Danny Ainge does decide to make more roster moves, he could include Beasley in any trade package. During the offseason, the Jazz made it clear that he's worth a first-round pick if they ever trade him.

The red-hot Utah Jazz will play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, October 28th.
