While I have you here... One pressing question a lot of us have wondered is why didn’t the local media press the Jazz at all on the whole Conley benching fiasco?

Seems like Quin wanted to do so and Dennis Lindsey stepped in and decided to override it. Is that fair to say?

Mitchell seems to be more effective at PG and Conley would be great off the bench. In fact he was great off the bench for us when he came back from injury.

I think what happened is the story broke and the Jazz were taken back by the storm it caused. If you notice they basically started Conley and played him more minutes with the second unit, and it looked like a happy median. Conley is still a starter and he proved it in the bubble where he played well. Also, Donovan became a point guard level player faster than anyone thought. So there’s that as well. The two will both play a lot there this season. I expect the same kind of rotation. FWIW, my guys are telling me Conley looks great in camp. Now obviously that has to translate to the season but that’s the current word

Seems weird to me that that would affect his market then. Anyway, I couldn't find that info doing a little digging, so thanks.

He probably won’t be a full go for a few weeks. He injured it right before free agency started. I’m hearing he will be a limited participant for the next few weeks. A lot of conditioning, some shooting. He’s not far away, but the Jazz don’t want to push it

Do you think he has an immediate role and will play on a nightly basis? I know that’s basically impossible to answer but what would you guess at this point?
