Emmanuel Mudiay has two big items on his to-do list:
• Don’t be at home when the NBA Playoffs begin next April
• Develop his game, tapping into the well of potential that made him the No. 7 overall pick in the 2015 Draft
And those two things are exactly why the 23-year-old Mudiay was smiling Tuesday as he displayed his freshly pressed jersey during his first news conference as a member of the Utah Jazz. After spending his first four NBA seasons with the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks, Mudiay picked Utah in free agency because he believed it would be the best place to accomplish his basketball goals.
