LAS VEGAS — After a strong drive past his defender, Utah Jazz second-round pick Jarrell Brantley met San Antonio’s Drew Eubanks at the hoop with a thunderous left-handed jam during Salt Lake City Summer League action on Wednesday.
Roaming the sidelines for the Jazz was 30-year-old Lamar Skeeter as head coach of the Salt Lake-based summer league roster.
Internally, the play was impressive, but he was too seasoned to show any emotion.
“You kind of get excited, but you just save it for later,” Skeeter admitted.
Skeeter, Utah’s assistant/player development coach, led the team to a 2-1 record at Vivint Arena July 1-3 before it took off for the 2019 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where Johnnie Bryant then took over as the head coach.
