Rookie guard Naz Mitrou-Long relishes his shot with Utah Jazz

Pay attention, Snyder said. Learn all you can during this opportunity. You never know if you’ll be back, so soak it up in the meantime.

The news came, actually, when he was asleep while visiting his parents in Canada. He had flown in hours earlier, taking a break before he had to be back for Stars practice.

Believe it: The rookie out of Iowa State is now traveling with the Jazz as an emergency guard.
