The 2018 NBA Summer League may be over for the Utah Jazz, but this is only the beginning for this young and up-and-coming squad.

The Utah Jazz‘s time in the 2018 NBA Summer League came to an end Saturday night at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies, but it was Utah’s players clawing their way day in and day out in hopes of earning a shot to earn a spot on Utah’s regular season roster that stood out.

Some accomplished that goal. Others didn’t do as much with the opportunities given. While some players know their future with the Jazz, others are still looking for employment. That’s what Summer League is, at least to a degree — a showcase for players to earn a contract with a parent organization. The players on Utah’s Summer League teams knew that going in.

The Jazz aren’t rebuilding, they’re looking to contend — and they aren’t that far off from being in that conversation. Some may think they’re already there. Time will tell, but for now, the immediate results of Summer League can provide more insight to where the Jazz stand as an organization.

Let’s get started.
