After making his NBA debut in the Salt Lake City Summer League on Monday night in a frenetic performance that featured 11 points but also eight personal fouls, Jazz power forward Jarrell Brantley conceded there were “definitely a lot of nerves going in, especially when I stepped out there.”
But, he also clarified that night, “A little nerves is always good for me — I like having a little nerves.”
After sitting out Tuesday’s game, there were apparently nerves aplenty for Wednesday’s return to the lineup for both Brantley and fellow second-round pick Miye Oni given how they went out and captivated the Vivint Smart Home Arena crowd in the Jazz’s 84-81 win over the Spurs.
