SALT LAKE CITY — Cars riding past Vivint Arena on Thursday morning probably noticed Cameron and Eric Wood standing outside Vivint Arena around 8:30 a.m.
Two and a half hours before the doors opened, the brothers patiently waited to welcome Grayson Allen, the newest member of the Utah Jazz.
“This is very important,” said Cameron, a 15-year-old Utah native. “Like for example with Donovan Mitchell, you make them feel welcome to increase the chances of him staying here and having loyalty to make them want to do good for their team.”
The Wood brothers were among the few hundred or so fans in attendance for Allen’s public community event outside the Utah Jazz Team Store.
