Back in July, the Utah Jazz signed Brazilian point guard Raul Neto. The Jazz owned the rights to sign him from the 2013 Draft in hopes that he would add depth to the point guard position behind Dante Exum.
However, a noncontact ACL injury during a game over the summer for the Australian National Team has placed Exum on the bench while he recovers. Suddenly, Neto’s signing becomes that much more significant.
Battling with Michigan product Trey Burke for the starting point guard position, no one knows as of yet who will come out on top as the starter just four games into the preseason.
