The 1974–75 New Orleans Jazz were led by Pete Maravich, whose prolific scoring and creative playmaking made him the centerpiece of the offense. Ron Boone complemented him with reliable perimeter scoring and ball-handling, while Rich Jones provided rebounding and inside production. The Jazz relied on an up-tempo, guard-oriented attack with strong offensive creation from their backcourt, but inconsistent defense and limited interior presence reduced their overall effectiveness.

Here is the Utah Jazz 1974–75 roster and regular season player statistics. This was the Jazz’s inaugural season, and they were based in New Orleans at the time (known as the New Orleans Jazz).
