On Saturday in Las Vegas, the Utah Jazz's Leandro Bolmaro showed off his passing skills, Johnny Juzang described his recent car crash, and Jared Butler looked sharp in the pick and roll.
UCLA's Johnny Juzang reacts during the first half of a college basketball game against North Carolina in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament, Friday, March 25, 2022, in Philadelphia. Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 72-66 win over the Atlanta Hawks from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.Acquired in the Rudy Gobert trade, 21-year-old Leandro Bolmaro hadn’t ever practiced with the Jazz before this morning.
But the thing I like most about Bolmaro is that he’s a high-energy defender, getting into the opposition, diving for loose balls, and the like. He stands 6-6, and while he’s fairly skinny, he just battles whoever he’s guarding. He also fights on the boards “Yeah, man, it was just a crazy accident,” Juzang said. “Luckily, everyone’s okay. I was with my girlfriend, she was in the passenger seat. We just got T-boned making a left turn.”
Juzang was a non-factor in Saturday’s game, scoring just three points on 1-6 shooting, getting four rebounds. But it makes sense that he’d still be easing into things for the Jazz after what happened.Jared Butler had what I think was his best half of summer league action in the first 20 minutes of Saturday’s game, getting seven assists. He also finished with 15 points on 6-11 shooting, his most efficient summer league game so far.
