almost 300 lbs. Big man!

and a 3rd!
Usher looks pretty good on paper except his shooting of course. One of the first super seniors that played 5 years in college and it looks like he's improved every year. With that experience he might end up playing this year if they trade Gobert

Would be nice to see Walker just because we didn't get to see much of him during the season but he won't be playing.

Might be starting by the end of the year if the tank comes
[QUOTE] both of Utah’s two-way spots are filled, with Juzang in one and Xavier Sneed in the other).[/QUOTE]
Sneed becomes restricted in a week I believe. I doubt he's back except maybe in summer league/camp/Stars. He didn't excite me much. I'd guess they can do better

[QUOTE]The first thing you’ll notice with Cockburn is that he is a mountain of a man. Cockburn is 7’ tall with a 7’3” wingspan and will compete with Udoka Azubuike from day one to see who can shatter the backboard quicker come summer league.
[/QUOTE]
I doubt Udoka is playing summer league. He was starting for the Jazz over Whiteside and did well. Also he's probably still rehabbing!

[QUOTE]The other interesting thing about this contract is that we might see Juzang get a lot of run. Last season, Trent Forrest received a lot of time while on his two-way contract over their exciting rookie, Jared Butler. With Quin Snyder out of the picture, it might not be the same story, but there is some recent precedent that this could mean time on the floor for Juzang.
[/QUOTE]
Any two way player could end up playing. Forrest had no limit because of COVID rules. Who knows if that stays the same? Juang isn't playing unless there are injuries or Gobert is gone. Forrest might not play for anyone other than COTM? I think he will. He's good. If he could only hit some open 3's!
Jared Weiss: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]Ime Udoka says Will Hardy and Joe Mazzulla remain in the mix for the Utah Jazz head coaching job. Says he prefers to elevate within if one of them gets the job[/URL].

probably not the same Nate Williams though he did play college ball locally too
on paper it looks like he might have the most potential. Shoots better from 3 anyway!
