SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder insists it isn’t by design that his team will likely have more international players than any other team in the NBA for the second year in a row, although he does acknowledge there are advantages to it.
Last year, the Jazz led the league with seven international players among a group of a record 113 in the NBA in 2016-17. Since last season the Jazz have lost a couple of foreign-born players in Boris Diaw (France) and Trey Lyles (Canada), but they picked up three more foreign players in the offseason in Jonas Jerebko (Sweden), Thabo Sefolosha (Switzerland) and Ricky Rubio (Spain).
