Can you link those whispers?
Your point?
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.

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?
Also, Murry's skills (from what I've read/can tell) are somewhat redundant to Exum's.
So 1 random *** dude on twitter who works for the radio station and has only 2K followers?
The whole point of keeping 14 vs. 15 is that 14 gives you more flexibility in future move (as well as cheaper for the owner). Of course Utah is still looking to make moves, every team is. Having 14 just increases what we could potentially do. I don't think there is anything on the immediate horizon though.
You have 0 basis to prefer Murry over Clark.
How many minutes of live game have you seen Murry play?
Have you ever seen Murry even play for a recorded game?
This is just an annoying ***, homeytennis style, "the grass is greener" I wish we would play Scrub A type post.
Holy **** dude, how many times do I have to say I'm not pushing Clark?
I haven't seen Murry play at all, besides highlights and the short time he got in preseason. (Assuming this is the same for anyone who isn't a Knicks or Wichita State fan)
I do however trust our coaching staff, who have so far (in my eyes) proven to me that they are pretty smart and know their ****. Our coaching staff is currently sending out the message that Clark has won the job over Murry, so I trust them.
Yes, I think that is the point in why Clark is getting minutes over Murry.
Do you follow logic when you type?

I do think that Murray could be a viable player, I think Clark as played pretty well so far too. It'll be interesting, because I thought Exum would get the majority of the backup pg minutes, but it seems like we'll bring him along slowly. It'll be fun too watch though...
It's not about backup PG minutes, but it's about having multiple playmakers/ballhandlers on the court at all times.
Felix isn't a ball-handler/playmaker.
Really the only 3 dudes off the bench who can be are Murry, Exum, and Clark. Only two of those dudes can get significant minutes.
I do like Murry from the highlights and the limited minutes he's played for the Jazz in the preseasons, scrimmage, etc. I think he has a higher upside than Clark...
But!!!
I think Murry's lack of shooting and lack of effort on the defensive end could be what's preventing him from getting more time.
