Utah Jazz brass have spoken highly of Bryce Cotton since acquiring him in a partially-guaranteed three-year deal last March, including him in all conversations about the point guard position battle between Dante Exum and Trey Burke. The signing of Raul Neto has changed that conversation, leading to speculation that Cotton might be moved to make developmental room for the budding Brazilian the Jazz drafted two years ago in the second round of the 2013 NBA Draft.
Bryce Cotton quickly became a fan favorite and internet sensation once given his shot to shine last spring, and posted a resounding followup performance in the finale of the return of Utah Jazz Summer League to Salt Lake City, dropping 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals while once again tickling the rafters.
