I really don't prefer either one, but I trust the coaching staff has knowledge about both players and has made the right choice.

You have basically proven the only reason you think Murry is good because:

1) The grass is greener

You are assuming that Murry will be cut...

In my opinion the only reason why the coaching staff rely on Clark over Murry is that Clark has a fully guaranteed contract!
 
Cy said:
Why?

It's either Utah wanting more roster flexibility or Miller not wanting to pay nearly a million dollars for a scrub who will barely play.

Because he wasn't cut with the other players and media personal from the Jazz have said that there's been whispers of the Jazz wanting to do something.

I don't think Murry will be cut (yet). The roster is at 14 currently.

Murry does have a partially guaranteed contract, so there should actually be incentive to play him now before the date that he has to be cut before his contract becomes fully guaranteed.

Dahntay Jones played a lot of minutes in the preseason but he has been cut unexpectedly...
 
Jones was a non-guaranteed contract, so there was incentive to give him early burn so a quick decision could be made. He may also have earned PT in preseason in PT by playing well in training camp. Also, Felix and Burks were injured for large parts of preseason, who would have competed for the same minutes Jones did.

Murry competes for backup PG minutes with Exum and Clark. Obviously Exum is going to get a certain amount of allotted minutes for development since we put a 5th overall pick into him, but he also has to have a backcourt mate. I'm fairly certain Clark was probably on level footing with Murry to being the season. Quinn has no attachment to either player (for instance, Quinn didn't play Evans many minutes over Novak), so I believe Clark just outplayed Murry and earned his PT.

A lot of smoke around the Jazz right now, sounding like they might not be done making moves.

Weird timing on Jazz cuts, and some Jazz people were talking pretty openly earlier today. Wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't accidental.
 
I just like Murray's size for point guard and his court vision. When he did play he fouled a lot, he's probably good to have in practice though.

I'm not sure Clark is ahead of Murry because he played more in the preseason games.

Quin gave to Clark the chance to prove his game...but I'm not sure he showed something special.

Who said anything about special? This is just backup PG minutes for a team who showed 0 interest in signing a proven backup PG.

You think Murry is so good that we just gave him the whole preseason off to test run Clark?
