When the Utah Jazz elected to head south for training camp, it wasn’t an idea built solely from head coach Quin Snyder.
According to him, he spoke with multiple members of the team and they all came to the same conclusion; implement the same environment from the NBA bubble in 2020.
“When we had talked about this, I talked with a few guys on the team,” Snyder said. “Donovan (Mitchell) and I spoke about it, his instinct was ‘hey, it would help us to get away.’ I’ve thought about it before as well. … Anytime a player that you’re close with and you trust, you kind of come to a conclusion or idea independently and they line up, that’s a good sign.
