Salt Lake Tribune coverage of the Utah Jazz and the NBA.

Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker drives to the basket against Los Angeles Clippers forward Moussa Diabate, during the second half of a preseason NBA basketball game Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023, in Seattle. The Clippers won 103-98. For the Jazz, it would have been really nice if Collin Sexton had come out and seized the point guard position this preseason.

Meanwhile, the guards that have played best are the ones that the Jazz have least long-term attachment to. Talen Horton-Tucker, an expiring contract, was his best self in the second half of Tuesday’s game against the Clippers, scoring 24 points on 18 shots. I asked Will Hardy about what makes THT play his best ball:

Kris Dunn has also been good. He was also in the G-League this time last year, is 29 years old, and is on an expiring, non-guaranteed contract — what’s the long-term thinking behind giving him a starting spot? Simply just maximizing the development of Markkanen and Kessler? I guess. It’s really clear that Hardy is really struggling with this decision. It’s also really clear that the team’s front office would prefer he not have to make it — because they tried to trade for a clear-cut starting point guard in Jrue Holiday.
