Utah Jazz shootaround inspires local teens at Michigan high school

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — A pair of large Indian Trails buses were parked outside Seaholm High School in a suburb of Detroit.

During third hour — and lunch for others — random students passed by the gymnasium to glance inside on Wednesday morning to catch a glimpse of the Utah Jazz during shootaround in preparation for the Detroit Pistons.

“I’ve never seen the players before,” said Andrew Rebock, a 15-year-old freshman.

The Jazz aren’t the first team to hold a practice at Seaholm while in town to play Detroit. Students have also been exposed to the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.
