The Utah Jazz will take on the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game of the Las Vegas Summer League. They will also be doing it without their three most prominent summer league players: Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, and Cody Williams.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a very up-and-down summer league for Utah for multiple players. Darryn Peterson started the Salt Lake City Summer League and was easily the best player of anyone in Salt Lake or Las Vegas. After two electric games, he came to Las Vegas, and his shooting numbers slumped. Outside of the shooting, Peterson showed great defense, moved the ball well, and showed an elite ability to get to the line. Overall, it\u2019s been a solid showing for the #2 pick and foreshadows the start of a great career.<\/p>\n
Cody Williams had a much better showing in Salt Lake than in Las Vegas. He showed some nice things in Salt Lake but looked pretty dreadful in Las Vegas. It\u2019s not clear why he struggled so much, but it was certainly disheartening. We\u2019ll see if that\u2019s a trend for both players or if it means something more. Needless to say, it would be nice to see some improvement from Williams come training camp and preseason.<\/p>\n
Finally, what little we did see of Ace Bailey was great. He has played very little because of back spasms, but the small time we did see him, he showed fantastic defensive potential, and his offense looked good. There\u2019s not much else to say about Bailey other than that he still has some sky-high potential.<\/p>\n
