Not that he has been awful, and I understand the value of having him on the floor, but I'm not sure how many more 30+ minute games for Jefferson I can mentally accept.

@WojYahooNBA Free agent forward Trevor Booker has reached a deal with the Utah Jazz, league source tells Yahoo.
@WojYahooNBA Trevor Booker's deal with Utah will be two years, $10 million, league source tells Yahoo.
Super excited for this set (with many options - the tweet isn't describing the particular play in the picture), and the spacing of a motion offense, in general. Snyder is going to have three players in his starting lineup (presumably) that are excellent distributors. Utilize it. And like pmatic said, the additions of Exum's creating and the shooting abilities of Hood and Novak are huge. Dynamic-changers that allow all of this to happen.@NateDuncanNBA Wow, that was just beautiful basketball by the Jazz. Exum/Gobert pick and roll, Exum/Hood DHO, Gobert deep postup off initial P&R.

The problem is Burks hasn't quite solidified himself as a surefire starting NBA SG. Playing the 1 certainly didn't work. Giving up on two of three recent top-12 back-court options seems hard to swallow. Assuming Utah can't work with Burks and Trey or Exum.I know it's still early, but who will be more expendable if Burke & Exum cannot co-exist?
Again, these are just my early predictions based off of SL.
You want like 15/9? Kanter's already pretty good on the offensive glass.I just need my dude Kanter to hurry up and have his breakout season and start flourishing.
Big minutes.
Do it, Snyder.

Most tantalizing rookie (tie): Dante Exum, Andrew Wiggins
In terms of performance, neither Exum nor Wiggins can compare with some of this year's less heralded rookies. Both players have demonstrated their potential, however, with highlight plays such as Wiggins' impressive dunk against McRae and the 76ers.
Best veterans
3. Rudy Gobert | Utah Jazz
Without scoring many points, Gobert dominated the Jazz's second game against the Milwaukee Bucks, blocking five shots, grabbing nine rebounds and making all six of his shot attempts in 23 minutes of action. And that wasn't even the game where Gobert drew "Rudy!" chants from Jazz fans, who are excited about the potential he's showed.
Best shot-blocker: Rudy Gobert | Utah Jazz
There have been plenty of impressive shot-blockers on display in the NBA Summer League, including Moreland (six swats in 40 minutes). None has done more to put a lid on the opposing basket than Gobert, with seven impressive blocks over two games.
Most entertaining team: Utah Jazz
The combination of Exum's incredible burst in the open court, his playmaking ability and the mystery about his game has made the No. 5 pick a must-watch in Vegas. Add in Gobert's active presence in the paint, Rodney Hood's streak shooting and surprisingly athletic plays from free agent Motum and Utah has played to rave reviews just off the Strip.
