Getting new players integrated in the middle of the season, and especially over the week of Christmas, is a challenge for any team.
The Jazz are doing their best, though, with Jordan Clarkson and Rayjon Tucker, the new additions added to the team Monday, who didn’t really get to work until Thursday. That’s when the two players completed their physicals, and while a shootaround helped, it lasted only about an hour.
So it was really left for Saturday’s team practice to start Clarkson and Tucker’s integration process. After practice, Clarkson and Tucker could be seen working with Jazz coaches, running through the different reads and options from the top of the Jazz’s playbook.
