LAS VEGAS — Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 97-93 win over the Portland Trail Blazers from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.
That was the closest of the Jazz’s summer league games so far, but it was really a mismatch of styles. Portland’s summer league team featured a lot of NBA experience: Gary Trent Jr., Anfernee Simons, Devin Robinson, Jarnell Stokes, Gian Clavell, Demetrius Jackson, and Isaiah Whitehead all have NBA games to their name. That’s pretty good on its own, but then adding in first-round pick Nassir Little should make them even better.
And then you have the Jazz’s summer league roster, which is a bunch of upstarts.
