Added to Calendar: 07-05-22

For those wondering... here's our Summer League roster:


This is the worst roster we've had in recent memory. Well... at least Butler and Fall will be fun to watch.


"The Jazz Summer League roster is headlined by Jared Butler, Xavier Sneed, Tacko Fall, Bruno Caboclo, and Justin Robinson.

Butler (6-3, 195, Baylor) appeared in 42 games (one start) for the Jazz during the 2021-22 season, averaging 3.8 points and 1.5 assists. The Reserve, Louisiana, native joined the Jazz last year as a second-round draft pick following his 2021 NCAA Championship season at Baylor, in which he was named the 2021 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

Sneed (6-5, 215, Kansas State) joined the Jazz in February on a two-way contract. The St. Louis, Mo., native appeared in seven games for the Jazz during the 2021-22 season. Sneed appeared in two games for the Memphis Grizzlies prior to signing with Utah.

Fall (7-6, 250, UCF) has appeared in 37 NBA games, including 11 (one start) during the 2021-22 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Fall, a native of Dakar, Senegal, has also appeared in three playoff games as a member of the Boston Celtics during the 2019-20 and 2020-21 postseasons.

Caboclo (6-9, 218, Brazil) has the most NBA experience on the Jazz Summer League roster having appeared in 105 games (20 starts) with the Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies, and Houston Rockets. The former 2014 first-round draft pick most recently appeared in six games for the Houston Rockets during the 2020-21 season.

Robinson (6-1, 195, Virginia Tech) has appeared in 43 NBA games since the 2019-20 season. The Manassas, Virginia, native appeared in 25 games last season, splitting time between the Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, and Sacramento Kings."
 
I have a ticket to this. It sounds as though OKC is going to have Chet and Poku. Jazz will have Butler, Juzang, Koburn, Usher and a few others worth watching. The 6'10" Serbian kid has some potential.

OKC may also have Ousmane Dieng and Jalen Williams. So they're going to be long. Hopefully, this isn't a 40-pt blowout.

Edit: OKC is bringing Josh Giddey as well. It looks like the game will be televised on ESPN.

A guy that will be interesting if he gets much burn is Vic Law. He is a 6'7"player and made first team all league in Australia. He averaged over 20 ppg and 8 boards. Delly was only on 2nd team and Law out rebounded Jarrell Martin who was with the Jazz in summer league last year and is a former first round pick.
 
Have any of you ever matched up against someone 100 lbs heavier than you? I never have. That's what Chet and Poku are up against with Kofi Koburn.
