The Utah Jazz begin the summer league with a lot of hope and future riding on the players that are donning their jersey. Three of the players in Dante Exum, Rodney Hood and Trey Lyles are expected to become solid rotation players for Utah. The summer league is where we’ll get the chance to see if management should really put their faith and trust into their development.

As for the other players on the Summer League roster not named Exum, Hood or Lyles, they each will be given an opportunity to show if they deserve to play in the NBA or not. Last year Jack Cooley and Bryce Cotton all made a big impact on Utah’s success. This year they begin playing for their playing time.
