Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley talked about how young guards come to the NBA with all the athleticism in the world, but the NBA game is about pace and reads and making sure you have multiple options on the drive. Conley walks us through how the pick and roll develops, whether things are pre-determined or as Conley says "you are writing the books as it goes" and how the pick and roll changes if it comes from the side or the top.

Jordan Clarkson might be the Utah Jazz starting 2 guard this season and that has to be the surprise of the training camp and pre-season. It is also a huge tribute to Jordan Clarkson and the person and player he is and his ability to adapt.

The final three roster cuts are coming. Who will make the team and who won't.

The Utah Jazz fell behind early and lost the San Antonio Spurs on a Tuesday night pre-season game. The Jazz were without Mike Conley and his value showed as the Jazz offense sputtered. Despite the loss, their were numerous positives by the end of the night, namely the battle from Walker Kessler after a miserable start.

Collin Sexton got the start at point guard and the items on his development list were obvious by the night's end as well as the offensive burden on the Lauri Markannen and the rest of the group.

Simone Fontecchio got some extra run last night and showed his ability to get his shot off.

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, gives you the daily show on your Utah Jazz, Locked On Jazz.

Universally, around the Utah Jazz the players have big time accolades in their careers and skills that have place them in the elite level of 450 of the greatest players in the world.
