Utah Jazz: 5 Reasons International Basketball Is A Good Thing
Come Into Camp Ready
It’s also been said that the best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.
One of the biggest reasons why playing in international competition is a good practice for players is because they get to come into training camp ready to compete. Utah needs everyone to have all hands on deck if they want to snap their streak of missing the playoffs.
Having players like Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert and Joe Ingles competing internationally will only help them get ready for training camp. The more these players can stay in shape and work on their craft, the easier the upcoming season will be.
Utah will have more bodies that are ready to compete at a high level. Having players coming into camp ready, as opposed to having players to use camp to get in shape will put them in a class with only a few teams. We’ve seen this offseason how hard the Oklahoma City Thunder are working. Having Jazz players compete internationally also helps them stay prepared for the upcoming season.
