TWIST: Juwan Morgan to get the start for Utah Jazz in place of Mike Conley

With Mike Conley leaving the bubble to be there for the birth of his child—CONGRATS CONLEY FAMILY—it was a mystery as to who would fill his role in the starting rotation. Many pointed to Miye Oni—while this Brant-osaurus fanboy wanted Jarrell Brantley—but Quin Snyder fooled us all by going with Juwan Morgan.

Morgan was instrumental in the Salt Lake City Stars success. His stout defense, playmaking ability, and strong outside shot for a big allowed the Stars to have the best defensive rating in the G-League and be considered one of the top teams in that league.
