They have to get off to a great start with most of them at home. Could be over before December

Will Jazz fans come down hard on their former player? Will they welcome him back?

is there any doubt?

With his adidas deal, Mitchell joins a growing stable of very young, very cool players like Brandon Ingram, Jamal Murray, Kris Dunn, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, Andrew Wiggins, James Harden and Damian Lillard. Considering he didn

Withey found his spot in the rotation taken by two new Jazz acquisitions. The Jazz selected Tony Bradley 28th in June's NBA Draft, and then the team signed Ekpe Udoh to a two-year deal in July. That, plus the recovery of Derrick Favors and the emergence of Joel Bolomboy, made Withey's role disappear.

What role? He was never appreciated. Not sure why they ever signed himor brought him back last year really

Looks like he'll be in a fight for minutes in Dallas too with Mejri and Powell and Noel

Last year he improved slightly from his rookie season

He was more aggressive but other than that he went backwards.

but there are still massive holes in his game. One is his shooting, at only 29 percent from three, the second is his play making is quite poor. Only 1.7 assists per game last season.

Can't finish either. I think his playmaking will be fine if he can ever hit open looks

I feel like lots of people are forgetting just how good the rest of this Jazz team was last season.

I think most are forgetting how bad everyone outside Rudy and Hayward looked against GS. They needed to upgrade. They downgraded. Good bye Hayward

Derrick Favors is due for a bounce back after an injury-plagued year.

but doesn't fit with Rudy and will be gone

Best Case Scenario

they're able to trade him for something

Although Johnson was nearly flawless against the Clippers, he appeared to run out of gas in the subsequent series.

bad match-up

With just two seasons under his belt, this season will be critical to see if he can make the jump as a full-time role player.

critical to stay in the league

Exum rotated between second and fourth string last season behind Shelvin Mack and Raul Neto, and with the latter out and no injuries at the moment, the depth chart should be settled to begin the year.

Neto and Burks should be ahead of him at the 1 until he proves otherwise. At wing he's behind even more people

Neto has been a more complete player thus far in their respective careers

wow someone noticed!

However, Ingles has shown that he is best-suited as a utility guy coming off the bench.

He has? He should have been starting all or last year. They finally did it at the end of the year. Hood is the one that has 6th man written all over him not their best shooter and perimeter defender and their 2nd highest paid player.

Swiss journeyman Thabo Sefolosha also made his way to Salt Lake City this summer and could end up in the starting lineup if the Jazz elect to go all-out on the defensive end.

Probably makes more sense than Hood too.
