[QUOTE]The Jazz still have some work to do to fill out their roster. They have five total roster spots open, with the most immediate needs being another backup point guard and another solid forward or center, depending on where they see Davis fitting in best.

Plus 2 two ways. Davis could probably play some 4 with Bradley being able to space the floor. Defensively not sure it would work though? Need a wing more than anything I'd say. Have O'Neale and Exum. Don't want to count on Exum. Might want a combo guard with Exum and Neto and their injuries not to mention Conley's. A 4 to compete with Niang at the 4 would be good. Want to leave some flexibility to see what happens in Summer league and who they want to add from that. I'd think 4 of the Stars guys could be in the mix as well as Mitrou Long and their picks of course. Ideally leave some flexibilty to make moves later in the year after they see how the pieces fit and what they will need later at the deadline and with buyouts where they could be a top destination
