Summer League Thread

So far the confirmed players on SL will be:

Jared Butler
MaCio Teague
Elijah Hughes
Trent Forrest
Jarrell Brantley
Juwan Morgan
Udoka Azubuike
Joe Chealey
Dakota Mathias
Charles Cooke
Frankie Ferrari
Nate Sestina
Kyle Castlin
Matt Mooney
Justin Patton
Jarrell Martin
Paul White

These are all the names I found linked to the Jazz's Summer League teams this year. The Jazz usually field different players for each league (Vegas and Jazz) and I'm not entirely sure who is playing for which team.

As per usual with the Jazz, a lot of boring *** names (outside of actual Jazz players): But Justin Patton and MaCio Teague are definitely the two standouts who I think could possibly make the team or get a 2-way from the Jazz. Jarrell Martin was interesting once upon a time.

SLC summer league starts on the 3rd of August already. Las Vegas on the 8th. Looking forward to it!

Teague started for Baylor and put up good numbers
Maybe reason he was not drafted is he's 24
But that could be good
He may be a ready to play type guy

Holy ****, Frankie Ferrari???? I remember him from a couple years ago because he got like every pass he threw tipped lmao. Excited to see Justin Patton on the team. Dok gonna look like Shaq. Hopefully Hughes shows out too.

Patton and Jarrell Martin are former first round picks. Patton has been injured but Martin had a big year in Australia last season. He was originally drafted by Memphis. No Trent Forrest?

yeah, looking for Hughes to come out swinging. just hope he connects more often than not.

Jarrell Martin huh? Mooney is kinda interesting. Could see patton being our "vet" min option as a third center. I don't know many of the other guys outside of the main ones.

I had the same reaction to Ferrari. Easily one of the best sports names ever, but maybe the absolute worst player I've ever seen play for the Jazz SL team.

I'm excepting Year 2 Trey Lyles SL performances. I remember him looking ****ing dominant in Vegas and everyone was extremely excited.

I could see Patton as a 2-way guy. i dont think you can sign that huge of a question mark as your backup to Udoka. I think the Jazz will go with an actual vet.

Prolly smart... my worry is we have to thread the needle with the vet we get. They need to be good enough that they are playable if there is an injury... but not so good that Quin never plays Udoka.

I think SL is going to inform the Jazz a lot on Udoka. The Jazz will have a lot of vets out there (Brantley/Forrest/Hughes/Morgan), so Udoka should be able to play pretty well around legit players and not just scrubs trying to make an impression. He needs to show he can really dominate and be a huge presence without fouling.
