Forrest Ready For Expanded Role Against Portland

Entering the season, it was known that Utah had arguably the deepest set of guards in the NBA.

Donovan Mitchell was a budding superstar while his starting backcourt mate Mike Conley joined him on the all-star team last year. Jordan Clarkson was named the NBA's sixth man of the year, while Joe Ingles finished as runner-up for the award.

With that kind of talent ahead of him, seeing the court consistently would be a tall task for then-rookie Trent Forrest. Coming out of Florida State, Forrest was known as a defensive stopper with an evolving offensive game, which is why he went undrafted before signing a two-way contract with the Jazz.
