    Last year the Jazz opened camp with an hour of transition defensive work. Today the focus fell more on the offense trying to play with thrust and pace in order to get some early action.
    That was supposed to be part of last year's team. Certainly the offense should be the focus. They were so dominant on D that they could give up a few more a game and still be number 1. Need to get better at the the other end and with Exum out and Burks back they should.

    Now Jerrett will miss crucial training camp time, when competition for Utah's final three roster spots is expected to be fierce, especially for a job in the team's crowded frontcourt.
    3 spots? Counting his guarantted contract I guess? Burke's spot should be up for grabs too.



    Jerrett's $1.6-million contract this season is guaranteed, but there's no guarantee of a roster spot and the Jazz front office has shown in each of the last two seasons (with guards Carrick Felix and Ian Clark, respectively) a willingness to waive players with small guaranteed deals.
    Those were both last year weren't they? Trey's deals not that big either.



    Meanwhile, Jerrett's timetable to return remains unclear even to him.


    Asked if he might be cleared in time to participate in training camp, Jerrett said, "I have no clue. It feels fine, but that's not really my call right now."


    Off and running


    They may have been the top defense in the NBA last year after the All-Star break, but Jazz coach Quin Snyder wondered how rusty his players might be as the returned to the court this week.


    The coach noted his team's hard play, but even the players had to admit it wasn't always pretty.


    "I think going through the drills we were really on point," forward Gordon Hayward said. "We were really talking and focused. When you start to throw in scrimmaging and going live, that's when guys go back to their old instincts and old habits. That's where it will take a little bit of time to get people to trust everybody and get back to our principles on defense. First scrimmage today was pretty sloppy and that's going to happen."
    One area that apparently didn't need extra drilling was the team's transition defense.


    Last year, Snyder spent the entire first hour of the first training camp practice on the subject, mixing in sprints as punishments for mistakes.
    Lesson learned.


    "We've been through this once already, so I think Quin has a little bit more trust in us this time around," Hayward said. "In scrimmage, if we don't get back [on defense], we'll get right back to those lines."
    One-upping the Haywards


    New dads Hayward and Derrick Favors spent part of Monday's media day extolling the joys and follies of fatherhood.


    "It's pretty fun," said Hayward, whose wife Robyn gave birth to a girl, Bernadette, in June. "There are times when it's not so fun with her, when she's crying in the middle of the night. But she's been awesome for me. It changed my outlook on life."


    "Same thing, but I think Gordon had it easy. He had one. I got two," added Favors, who became the father of twin girls in late August.
    Against the odds


    The line makers at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook on Tuesday released their win totals and championship odds for the upcoming season. The Jazz's win total was set at 40.5, with 100-to-1 odds on winning the NBA title in June.

    Burks said point-blank that he wants to be the starter, he wants to play a lot. Professional basketball is high-level competition, and any player worth his salt wants to be on the floor.

    He'll be playing plenty.



    So he gave his honest assessment, even if the two have forged a close relationship off the court.


    "At the end of the day, we all want to be the


    starter," Burks said. "But it's coach Q's (Quin Snyder) decision. We're going to compete and push with each other on the floor. But we all have each other's backs."


    That competition between Burks and Hood will be intriguing to watch through training camp, if for no other reason than the two both have the talent to start in the NBA. Burks proved as much at the beginning of last season, as he was Utah's second-best perimeter player behind Gordon Hayward, before a torn labrum ended his year.


    Hood came on at the end of his rookie campaign, shooting and slashing his way into the hearts of many fans. By all accounts, he may be the most improved player on the roster, having appeared that way in Summer League in July.


    Hayward's spot in the lineup is secure. He's one of the top small forwards in the league, trending towards possible All-Star status, a playmaker and all-around force on both ends. That means one of Burks and Hood will start. The other will come off the bench.
    Have the coaches said this? I think Ingles or Millsap could start. I think Alec could start at the one. Other than the frontcourt it's wide open and if Booker is hitting enough 3's Favors spot might be in not be secure either.
