SALT LAKE CITY — Although a great deal of conversation around the Utah Jazz through two preseason games has centered on topics such as Ricky Rubio’s poor shooting, the strong play of Dante Exum and Alec Burks, and Derrick Favors’ role this season after being hobbled with injury a year ago, there’s one item that perhaps hasn’t gotten as much attention but must be solved before the regular season begins.
Who will be the team’s 15th man this season?
Utah currently has 18 players on contract for the upcoming season, with Eric Griffin and Nate Wolters being on two-way deals, which means they’ll spend most of the season with the G-League’s Salt Lake City Stars.
