Among all the changes that the Utah Jazz has made, something that went under the radar that they traded two starters this season: Collin Sexton and John Collins. Because of those changes, it is ambiguous that will join Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler among the starters, a fact that Jazz is aware of, as demonstrated by their scrimmage -Line -ups.
The place of Markkanen and Kessler in the starting five stands in stone, but it is unclear who will join them. Andy Larsen from the Salt Lake Tribune today revealed the starters of both teams for the scrimmage of jazz. Neither line -up contained Markkans or Kessler, and it was unclear which team was better than the other.
Jazz Scrimmage Starters:
White: Walter Clayton, Brice Sensabaugh, Ace Bailey, Kevin Love, Taylor Hendricks
Black: Keyonte George, Kyle Anderson, SVI Mykhailiuk, Cody Williams, Jusuf Nurkic.

Both teams contain players who will certainly not get the beginning if the team is at full power – Love, Mykhailiuk and Nurkic – while everyone else is certainly candidates to take one of the three openings in the starting line -up. Other jazz players, such as Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski, are also candidates, but they have not participated.
Although it is just a scrimmage, this indicates that these three places are really for the taking for most jazz players.
Don’t be surprised if the Jazzmix & Match much this season
If and when Utah announces his opening night starters, it would not be shocking if that is not long the line -up. The most important priority of jazz this season will evaluate who should be in the team in the long term, so if a new starter generally does not work, they will use someone else.
They performed this strategy last season. In fact, they did it several times. They tried to get Cody Williams from the start, but when it was clear that he was not ready, they looked at other players who were more NBA ready.
That was not the only copy. As soon as it became clear that George would not take the next step that many had hoped for, they put a necklace in the line -up, where he fitted better, although it did not result in a significant increase in victories. This season there are more young and talented players who can open the door for more changes in the middle season.
Do not even be shocked if Anderson or Georges Niang are appointed for the team for the first time. Both are solid veterans who have already reached their ceilings as a player. They are also the bars for their young players to erase.
Developing young talent requires a balance between throwing them to the wolves, while they also make it clear that they have to work for their role in the team. It doesn’t matter who starts, the jazz should have an entertaining game of musical seats with their setup during this season.
