Free agent shooting guards don't look ideal. Trade for George or someone else? Might have to wait until later in the season after Favors and Burks get healthy to make a move

Olynyk, Speights, Muscala, as back-up center prospects.

[QUOTE]Although the Jazz aren't shopping him around, veteran power forward Derrick Favors continues to receive a lot of interest from a variety of teams. Utah would like to keep Favors, who has one more year remaining on a four-year deal, but he is not considered off limits like rising star Rudy Gobert.[/QUOTE]
He'll start the season with them

[QUOTE]Bradley isn't very impressive on film, but his stats jump off the paper once you adjust for the limited number of minutes he played at North Carolina. That means statistical models love him. Kevin Pelton named him as the No. 9 best prospect in this draft, and Andrew Johnson had him as the 6th best prospect. Clearly, the Jazz liked Bradley's size, and hope he can be Rudy Gobert's backup at center in 2017-18.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like he could be a steal. Let's hope they sign a proven vet to be the back-up though and he's with the Stars

[QUOTE]During Thursday night's NBA draft, the Jazz front office had a piece of paper with a list attributes they were looking for in their picks.

I'd guess they'd love him at the one but will settle for him at the 2 and could even play him some at the 3.

[QUOTE]Exum, and fellow teammate Rodney Hood, is spending the summer in Utah to train, perhaps looking for a similar spike Gordon Hayward got out of spending his summer in-state last year.
"You'll see a tremendous player," Lindsey said "We have very high expectations for him."
The Jazz were encouraged two years ago when Exum trained for a second year in the league, but his progress was disrupted by a torn ACL.
Lindsey said he and coach Quin Snyder challenged Exum and "gave him some truth." Exum decided to stay in town, and according to Lindsey, that's helped him make strides.
"Dante is doing extremely good work," Lindsey said. "[Strength coach] Jeff Watkinson came over today and singled out Dante and Rodney as doing really good work, so we're excited."[/QUOTE]
encouraging. They better get to work because they just got some competition

[QUOTE]Mitchell's selection seems to raise questions for the future of Dante Exum, Utah's 2014 lottery pick, especially if the Jazz are able to re-sign George Hill or pick up another veteran point guard as they desire. But Lindsey said he sees Exum and Mitchell playing together, bringing length, speed and athletic ability to Utah's backcourt. They'll explore that during Utah Summer League in July.[/QUOTE]
Exum's not playing Summer League. Got to get Mitchell, Goss and Wallace minutes. Hopefully they'll mostly play together. No reason they can't all play together with Exum, Neto, Hood and Burks. They want multi skilled guys with length. This guy sounds like he's the perfect fit for the team. I'd look for him to start the year with the Stars and be ready to help the Jazz later in the season if needed.
[QUOTE]"It's been my experience the guys with tools, guys who love the game, guys with character and intelligence ... those are always the guys who get better," he said. "We'll find out to what degree."[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't surprise me. Depends on how much they have to give up for George. The Jazz might get something out of a sign and trade if it comes down to it
