So far the confirmed players on SL will be:

Jared Butler
MaCio Teague
Elijah Hughes
Trent Forrest
Jarrell Brantley
Juwan Morgan
Udoka Azubuike
Joe Chealey
Dakota Mathias
Charles Cooke
Frankie Ferrari
Nate Sestina
Kyle Castlin
Matt Mooney
Justin Patton
Jarrell Martin
Paul White

These are all the names I found linked to the Jazz's Summer League teams this year. The Jazz usually field different players for each league (Vegas and Jazz) and I'm not entirely sure who is playing for which team.

As per usual with the Jazz, a lot of boring *** names (outside of actual Jazz players): But Justin Patton and MaCio Teague are definitely the two standouts who I think could possibly make the team or get a 2-way from the Jazz. Jarrell Martin was interesting once upon a time.

Teague started for Baylor and put up good numbers
Maybe reason he was not drafted is he's 24
But that could be good
He may be a ready to play type guy
 
Holy ****, Frankie Ferrari???? I remember him from a couple years ago because he got like every pass he threw tipped lmao. Excited to see Justin Patton on the team. Dok gonna look like Shaq. Hopefully Hughes shows out too.
 
Patton and Jarrell Martin are former first round picks. Patton has been injured but Martin had a big year in Australia last season. He was originally drafted by Memphis. No Trent Forrest?
 
Jarrell Martin huh? Mooney is kinda interesting. Could see patton being our "vet" min option as a third center. I don't know many of the other guys outside of the main ones.

I had the same reaction to Ferrari. Easily one of the best sports names ever, but maybe the absolute worst player I've ever seen play for the Jazz SL team.

I could see Patton as a 2-way guy. i dont think you can sign that huge of a question mark as your backup to Udoka. I think the Jazz will go with an actual vet.

Prolly smart... my worry is we have to thread the needle with the vet we get. They need to be good enough that they are playable if there is an injury... but not so good that Quin never plays Udoka.

I think SL is going to inform the Jazz a lot on Udoka. The Jazz will have a lot of vets out there (Brantley/Forrest/Hughes/Morgan), so Udoka should be able to play pretty well around legit players and not just scrubs trying to make an impression. He needs to show he can really dominate and be a huge presence without fouling.
 
Cooke, Mathis and Chealey have had two way contracts with other teams. Chealey and Brantley are college buds. Mathis was a college teammate of Isaac Haas.
 
Jared Butler – Who is not excited to see what he can do. I am banking on Butler being the steal of the draft.
MaCio Teague – interesting another Baylor player. Might find a place on the stars.
Elijah Hughes – I think he could lead the team in scoring but needs to prove he has improved and deserves playing time.
Jarrell Brantley - I want to see him dominate.
Juwan Morgan – It is make or break at this point
Udoka Azubuike – Needs to show he deserves to back up Gobert full time. I expect some monster dunks.
Joe Chealey – another 6-4 guard has some NBA experience but has a hard time seeing him make the team but never say never.
Dakota Mathias – How many 6-4 guards can they have on a roster? He has some overseas experience.
Charles Cooke – At first confused him with Lenny Cooke but he was a stat stuffer at Dayton and had been on a two-way before.
Frankie Ferrari – one of the best names on the roster but he should stick to playing overseas. Well, the Jazz do have a 3rd string PG spot available
Nate Sestina – sweet a big man that has some outside ability. Played his senior year at UK so I am kind of excited to see what he can do.
Kyle Castlin – wow another 6-4 guard. Played for the stars last year
Matt Mooney – was a fan of Mooney coming out a couple of years ago. Scrappy player but again 6-3. Jazz seems to have a type this year.
Justin Patton – Huge Patton fan and if he can stay healthy he would make a good 3rd string centerJarrell on the Jazz
Jarrell Martin – another big that I have been intrigued about in the past
 
One thing I read this morning that makes sense - due to the trades that led to the Jazz acquiring Butler, we may not see him in the Jazz summer league as he may not be eligible to play until after the August 6th date trades are finalized. Vegas starts on the 8th however, so assuming his health is fine, he should be good to go there.

Hughes and Dok need to show out. We always talk about how meaningless summer league is, but it doesn't feel that way for those two dudes.

Unfortunate for the folks in SLC who intended to go, but hopefully Butler learns the ropes in Vegas.
