[QUOTE]Millsap received a call-up to the Utah Jazz with injuries to Alec Burks and Rodney Hood while the Jazz cleared space with the release of Toure
[QUOTE]Williams is a former first round pick of the Portland Trailblazers. His career has been marred by injury. But at his best, the left-handed shooting guard is extremely athletic, can handle the ball in both backcourt spots and is considered an all-around presence on the floor.
Williams played most of last season with the Philadelphia 76ers. He is currently averaging 21.3 points per game in the NBA Developmental league with Santa Cruz.
The Jazz are currently 12-23 on the season, and headed on a three game road trip this week that will culminate on Saturday at the Houston Rockets.

Another lefty that can handle the ball. Says he does it at both ends. He has been shooting the 3 ball though he didn't hit them last year in the NBA. They could us another athlete for sure.
Someone said the Jazz can't get a roster exemption for Burks because they are under the cap. You'd think they'd be rewarded for that not penalized. Doesn't make much sense that teams over the cap get to spend even more.

[QUOTE]Elijah Millsap played 18 minutes for the Jazz in a 105-101 loss. That either tells you a lot about how little Jazz coaches think of Evans and Novak or how much they think of Millsap, the 27-year-old younger brother of former Jazz forward Paul Millsap.[/QUOTE]
They obviously don't think much of Evans. He's gone by next season. They think Novak is an end of the bench specialist which is what he is. Mills does play a different position though so not sure what the point there was. :confusedshrug:
[QUOTE]Elijah Millsap was signed by the Jazz after he averaged 20.6 points and 8.3 rebounds for the Bakersfield Jam this season. He was thrust into the action late in the first quarter Monday night and after a miss in the lane and an airball that sailed a couple of feet past the basket, Millsap calmed down and played some solid minutes for the Jazz.

Just a matter of time. Likely by next season at the latest. They could play him/Kanter/Favors big minutes and it wouldn't matter much who started though. Need to trade Booker as good as he's been. He has trade value I'm sure.

Cap it all off with the Jazz
[QUOTE]Given the injury situations, Williams and Millsap will have opportunities to show what they can do.[/QUOTE]
We'll see. Hood will be back soon. Ideally they'd send him to the D-league with Exum but that's not happening.
[QUOTE]This continues Lindsey
[QUOTE]Williams was a first round pick back in 2010 and showed potential in Portland, but struggled with injuries early in his career. He played 67 games with the Philadelphia 76ers last season and was the second overall pick in the D-League this year. He was ranked as the third best prospect in the league before earning a Call-Up.
Size/Athleticism: Physically, Williams is similar to Golden State
