Oh yeah, at Harry O's. But I think they were the two that got in trouble but I remember there were reports/rumors about more of the Jazz team being there.

Well I only remember Whaley and Williams being involved but that feels like forever ago, so who knows.
Two Jazz rookies cited for giving false names to police
Deron Williams and Robert Whaley have been cited for giving fake names to officers investigating a Park City, Utah, bar brawl, police said.
And it’s a breakthrough none of our deep bench have had, and it cost a *protected* 2nd round pick.

It often seems like people around here go through either one loop or another. For example, the loops that you yourself go through in order to maintain a consistent moaning pose. That’s one option.
Exactly...I'm not complaining about EP lol. If he makes it into the rotation, it isn't because he's best friends with Mitchell. If he plays instead of Brantley or Doke I'm going to assume he earned it himself just like everyone else who makes the rotation.
For the guys who haven't cracked the rotation, I would suggest that working on their game is more important than working on their friendship with Mitchell. Ingles and O'Neale may be well like by their teammates, but if they couldn't play they'd still be scrubs.
Did anyone say otherwise?
LoPo just said that the main reason why Royce got a chance was his friendship with Don.

Not the main reason. A reason.

Royce O'Neale muscles way into Jazz lineup with toughness, grit
Royce O’Neale isn’t supposed to be a rotation guy for the Utah Jazz. He’s not even supposed to be in the NBA.
“He’s one of my closest friends on the team,” fellow Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell said. “He’s always here getting a workout, so to see it all coming to fruition with him is great. We live in the same building, so we’re always around each other. He does a little bit of everything. He’s a better scorer than people realize. We’re proud of him right now.”

Sorry, one of the main reasons.
I'm willing to bet that if he didn't work hard and wasn't a better player than people realized he'd be out of the league, but if he wasn't best friends with Mitchell he'd still be here because he works hard and is better than people realized.
I get it, hopefully Mitchell rubs off on EP and he gets better habits (not sure if EP was ever bad). But if he makes it in the game over Brantley I'm going to assume it's because he earned it. Not because he's a better friend.

I agree 100%. Don isn't putting guys on the court or keeping guys on the roster. They have to make that next step just like Royce did.
