Neto Not to Play in Summer League

Why would that be the goal? Exum is a PG (I had my doubts until watching him play full games - he is indeed a pure point and if he's going to be great it will be as a 6'6" PG) and Burke certainly isn't a SG.

I don't want to disagree, but during the year last season it looked like Burke was playing a lot of SG, at least offensively. Pairing him with a bigger guard like Exum, or even Burks allows flexibility and the opportunity to create mismatches. I like the idea of the other team not knowing who might be running the offense from possession to possession, and not knowing who might be guarding who on each possession.
 
This is good. Jazz need to get Exum as many minutes as possible at his natural position. I wish Burke were sitting it out as well.

It sounds like they will experiment with Birke and Exum in different lineups at SL. With one starting or both in dif games.

Maybe this paves the way for this guy to play Summer League. He was Rodney Hood's PG at Mississippi State:
Dee Bost, the 2014 NBA D-League All-Star finished the season with 15.2 ppg, 8.6 apg, 6.1 rpg and 2.0 spg. Bost also led the league with 5 triple-doubles.
 
Yeah, I'm sure they'd logically assume that he'd go from 25.4 minutes a night on relatively solid play to a bunch of DNP's.

Since you've joined this board you've been a ****. Not sure why. Try developing a relationship with the members before acting like a complete jerk.

Walt Perrin said that Neto won't play in the summer league to pursue playing for his national team. Playing for the national team will probably better serve Neto than running a bunch of busted plays with a bunch of players that are about to get cut.
