SALT LAKE CITY — A big smile spread across Jarrell Brantley’s face.
The 50th pick in the June 20 NBA draft out of the College of Charleston, Brantley played Monday night in his first professional game for the Utah Jazz against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Salt Lake City Summer League at Vivint Arena and was asked how it felt.
His assessment of his debut certainly fit the toothy grin he flashed.
“It was fun,” the 6-foot-7, 250-pounder said after scoring 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting with four rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal in just less than 28 minutes of play.
