I was there the first two practices, he looked very good. Was a full participant in everything that they did. I wasn't there for the third practice where ultimately that was the point where they decided to go in a different direction .

He had a really solid progression. He looked good in the practices."Jazz Focused On Brandin Podziemski, Draft Picks In Lauri Markkanen Trade Talks
