I doubt it but no one should be untouchable. They've certainly got a crowded front court now.

[QUOTE]The Jazz are not done making additions to their roster, a league source told The Tribune. Utah is in the market for a third point guard, and could also be looking for a shooter as well. Salt Lake Tribune[/QUOTE]
Good to hear. How does Lucas fit in than? I would hope it's someone that will compete for time. Not sure they have a starting caliber pg now let alone two rotation capable ones.

I think a vet center too.
[QUOTE]Utah plans on making Exum its backup at the point, figuring it best to get him some experience right away. The Jazz seemed to force-feed playing time to Exum on Friday, especially without Burke in the lineup. He responded by making some big plays, most notably a lay-in as the time expired in the third quarter.

I'd make him earn it. If he's not ready for rotation minutes there is the D-League team.

[QUOTE]You think Quin Snyder is sick of being asked whether Exum and Trey Burke can play together.
Here's the new Jazz coach after yesterday's loss to the Spurs summer league squad:
"I was waiting for that Dante-Trey question. It usually comes a little later. I've talked about this every time we've played, every time we've practiced. To me there, there aren't positions in basketball. If you have five guys on the floor that can defend the five guys on the other team, it doesn't matter if you call them ones, twos, threes, fours, fives. Those two guys can match up defensively with other guards. If they can play together, which I think they can, they really present matchup problems. I'm being a little bit facetious. But I do think they can be a unique backcourt. In my minds, I see them as a backcourt as opposed to a one, two, three."[/QUOTE]
Excited to see it in October!

[QUOTE]The Utah Jazz organization and fans weren't the only ones to appreciate what second-year center Rudy Gobert did in Las Vegas last week.
The 7-foot-1 big man was named to the All-NBA Summer League second team after averaging 11.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in four games.
"All around, I feel better defensively, because I feel stronger offensively," said Gobert, who's returning to France on Monday to begin training with the national team for the World Cup competition. "I feel just more confident. I like the way we play."[/QUOTE]
Looked good in Summer League last year too. See how it translates in the fall.
[QUOTE]Wizards shooting guard Glen Rice Jr. was a unanimous selection as MVP for putting up a summer league-high of 25 points in six games. He also averaged 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 steals.
Other first-teamers included Chicago's Doug McDermotte and Tony Snell, Houston's Donatas Motiejunas and Washington's Otto Porter. Gobert was joined on the second team by New York's Tim Hardaway, Jr., Philadelphia's Jordan McRae, New Orleans' Russ Smith and Phoenix's T.J. Warren.
Sacramento, coached by new Kings assistant Tyrone Corbin, will face the Rockets on Monday night for the 2014 NBA Summer League title.
