    Jody Genessy: Utah Jazz camp roster will include Brian Cook, Scott Machado, Mike Harris, Dominic McGuire, Nick Covington, Justin Holiday and Dwayne Jones. Twitter @DJJazzyJody
    Covington doesn't look like much of a prospect. Hits 3's. Maybe a terror on D? He played one year of college ball locally might explain his inclusion?

    I'd guess Jones or Cook for one spot and Machado or Holiday for the other if they don't make a deal which I think could definitely happen with their flexibility and other teams lack of.

    Don't think they've ever had close to the 20 player limit before. Things are definitely changing under Lindsey.

    Utah Jazz blog Salt City Hoops had an interesting look at how some Utah players improved their performance at athlete training center P3 in Santa Barbara, California. One player jumped out at me.

    "Alec [Burks] was the biggest winner," said (Dr. Marcus) Elliott (of P3). The staff really admired him for his work over the past couple years. He has apparently improved in a number of areas from hip stability, knee position and trunk strength, all of which affect quickness. They recognize the unique opportunity Burks will have this season to finally get steady minutes, potentially even as a starter. He is considered one of their more "elastic" athletes. He reached a vertical height of 12′ 2.5″ during an approach this summer. When he first arrived in May 2012 he maxed out at 11′ 8.5″. That height is especially worth noting considering that he also weighs 11 more pounds than when he started."

    The Jazz made a big buzz in their fanbase by sending their own pick (14th overall) and the acquired Warriors selection (21st) to Minnesota in exchange for the NCAA player of the year.

    The Michigan star immediately became a fan favorite in Utah.
    Is this before or after summer league?

    Jazz fans were really torn when Neto came in and looked polished in his first appearance. (The Brazilian playmaker will not join the team until 2014.)
    2014? Has this been stated? I think they said not this year maybe next.

    While Biedrins and Jefferson are several years past their primes, the Jazz are hopeful they can bounce back to their previous forms and provide veteran court savvy and play.
    Biedrins is young enough he could still have his best ball ahead. He still rebounds and blocks shots. Seems to have lost all confidence on his shot though. Being a contract year maybe he'll get his head straight?

    Perhaps the biggest offseason loss for Utah was the departure of longtime assistant coach Jeff Hornacek,
    Love ya Jeff but bigger than Millsap?

    Utah increases its scouting budget and brings in about 100 free agents and NBA hopefuls for evaluation prior to the June draft.
    This could be big. The camps they've had before summer league and training camp were nice changes from Lindsey too.

    [QUOTE]The unique relationship that the Jazz organization has developed with P3 goes back to the original days with Paul Millsap and Ronnie Brewer. Ever since those two started the excursions down to sunny, southern California, more and more players have joined in each year. Not all of them were as open to the idea initially. When Deron Williams was still with the team, he was one of the players who needed to be

    Training Camp Challenge

    Earn a roster spot. Justin Holiday's strength lies in his defense. It is no surprise that the Jazz lack strong perimeter defenders. If Justin Holiday can show a knack for defending the perimeter at an above league average level he has a chance to earn a coveted roster spot. His competition will be Scott Machado. While Scott Machado has the inside track on a roster spot because the Utah Jazz point guard depth chart looks like this, the real way to earn a roster spot is by showing the ability to defend. Dennis Lindsey said he wants players who show the "ability to build a defensive foundation ... and guys who are really committed." If Justin wants coveted contract for the 2013 season and a roster spot the spot is his if he can defend better than Scott Machado.
    They play different positions. Comes more down to need and who's better.
